Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to translate into Arabic and culturally adapt the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale for parents (SSQ-P).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted over a 10-month period from February to November 2021. Translation of the SSQ-P into Arabic was performed using the forward-backward translation methodology, as recommended by the World Health Organization. Parents of 130 Arabic children aged 5-11 years with normal hearing were asked to complete the Arabic adaptation of the SSQ-P.

Results: The SSQ-P was successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted into Arabic with only a few changes to ensure the comprehensibility and cultural appropriateness of the Arabic version. All parents returned the Arabic SSQ-P, with no missing data. The Arabic SSQ-P showed high internal consistency, with the Cronbach's alpha of approximately 0.91. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the individual items and total SSQ-P score was 0.90, indicating high reliability (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: The Arabic translation and cultural adaptation of the SSQ-P is currently available. Further studies are needed to assess test-retest reliability and discriminant validity of the Arabic SSQ-P to better understand its usefulness and applicability.

阿拉伯语版父母听力语言、空间和素质量表的翻译和跨文化改编。

研究目的在这项研究中，我们旨在将父母听力语言、空间和素质量表（SSQ-P）翻译成阿拉伯语并进行文化适应性调整：这是一项横断面研究，从 2021 年 2 月至 11 月，历时 10 个月。根据世界卫生组织的建议，采用正向-反向翻译法将 SSQ-P 翻译成阿拉伯语。130名5-11岁听力正常的阿拉伯儿童的家长被要求完成SSQ-P的阿拉伯语改编版：结果：SSQ-P 被成功翻译成阿拉伯语并进行了跨文化改编，仅做了少量改动，以确保阿拉伯语版本的可理解性和文化适宜性。所有家长都交回了阿拉伯语 SSQ-P，无数据缺失。阿拉伯语 SSQ-P 显示出较高的内部一致性，Cronbach's alpha 约为 0.91。单个项目与 SSQ-P 总分的类内相关系数为 0.90，显示出较高的可靠性（P < 0.001）：结论：SSQ-P 的阿拉伯语翻译和文化改编目前已经完成。结论：目前已有阿拉伯语 SSQ-P 翻译和文化改编版，需要进一步研究评估阿拉伯语 SSQ-P 的测试-再测试可靠性和判别效度，以更好地了解其有用性和适用性。
