Abstract

Objective: This study aims to design a Concise and Practical Chinese Tinnitus Disorder Scale (CPCTDS), evaluate its psychometric measurement characteristics, and help doctors in making diagnoses and treatments.

Methods: A sample of 482 tinnitus patients completed CPCTDS. The patients also completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI).

Results: The eight items of CPCTDS were extracted through its exploratory factor analysis, which had strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.855). The correlations between the total scores of CPCTDS and Tinnitus Disability Inventory (TDI; r = 0.960, P < 0.05) and TFI (r = 0.749, P < 0.05) indicated a good criterion validity. The correlation of the CPCTDS emotional subscale with the TFI emotional subscale (r = 0.650, P < 0.05), CES-D (r = 0.488, P < 0.05), and BAI (r =.384, p< 0.05) showed that the convergent validity of CPCTDS was satisfactory.

Conclusions: CPCTDS and the original Chinese version of TDI were highly reliable and valid. This finding shows that the two scales can be reliably used to assess the severity of tinnitus in clinical areas.

简体中文版耳鸣障碍量表及其心理测量学特征

目的：本研究旨在设计简明实用的中国人耳鸣障碍量表（CPCTDS）：本研究旨在设计简明实用的中国耳鸣障碍量表（CPCTDS），评估其心理测量特征，帮助医生进行诊断和治疗：方法：482 名耳鸣患者完成了 CPCTDS 的抽样调查。方法：482 名耳鸣患者抽样填写了 CPCTDS，同时还填写了流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）、贝克焦虑量表（BAI）和耳鸣功能指数（TFI）：通过探索性因子分析，提取出 CPCTDS 的 8 个项目，其内部一致性较强（Cronbach's α = 0.855）。CPCTDS 的总分与耳鸣残疾量表（TDI；r = 0.960，P < 0.05）和耳鸣残疾指数（TFI）（r = 0.749，P < 0.05）之间的相关性显示了良好的标准效度。CPCTDS 情绪分量表与 TFI 情绪分量表（r = 0.650，P < 0.05）、CES-D（r = 0.488，P < 0.05）和 BAI（r = 0.384，P < 0.05）的相关性表明 CPCTDS 的收敛效度令人满意：结论：CPCTDS 和原版 TDI 的信度和效度都很高。结论：CPCTDS 和原中文版 TDI 的信度和效度均较高，表明这两个量表可用于临床评估耳鸣的严重程度。

期刊介绍： Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
