Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Swedish short form of the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ12) and investigate whether the paper-and-pen and online formats could be used interchangeably.

Method: Individuals with and without hearing problems were invited to participate in this study. The participants (N = 125) were randomized into four groups: paper-paper, online-online, paper-online, and online-paper. All participants completed the Swedish SSQ12 twice.

Results: Principal components analysis revealed one component. Statistical analysis revealed good psychometric properties. Administration formats were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance, which revealed no statistically significant differences.

Conclusions: The results indicate that the Swedish SSQ12 is possible to use in paper-and-pen and online formats interchangeably. The questionnaire has potential to be used by Swedish audiologists seeking to understand the individual experience of hearing loss or to evaluate hearing rehabilitation. To further understand the possible differences and to broaden the use and understanding of the SSQ12, future studies should aim to determine the minimal clinically important difference for the SSQ12.

瑞典语言语、空间和听力质量量表简表心理测量特性评估:在线问卷与纸笔问卷的对比
目的:本研究的目的是检验瑞典语、空间和听力素质量表(SSQ12)简表的心理测量特性,并调查纸笔格式和在线格式是否可以互换使用:方法:本研究邀请有听力问题和没有听力问题的人参加。参与者(N = 125)被随机分为四组:纸质-纸质组、在线-在线组、纸质-在线组和在线-纸质组。所有参与者都完成了两次瑞典 SSQ12:结果:主成分分析显示有一个成分。统计分析显示该问卷具有良好的心理测量特性。使用重复测量方差分析对管理形式进行了比较,结果显示在统计上没有显著差异:结果表明,瑞典 SSQ12 可以在纸笔和在线两种形式中交替使用。瑞典听力学家在了解听力损失的个人经历或评估听力康复时,有可能使用该问卷。为了进一步了解可能存在的差异并扩大 SSQ12 的使用范围和理解范围,未来的研究应旨在确定 SSQ12 的最小临床重要差异。

期刊介绍: Mission: AJA publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles pertaining to clinical audiology methods and issues, and serves as an outlet for discussion of related professional and educational issues and ideas. The journal is an international outlet for research on clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, management and outcomes of hearing and balance disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. The clinical orientation of the journal allows for the publication of reports on audiology as implemented nationally and internationally, including novel clinical procedures, approaches, and cases. AJA seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of clinical audiology, including audiologic/aural rehabilitation; balance and balance disorders; cultural and linguistic diversity; detection, diagnosis, prevention, habilitation, rehabilitation, and monitoring of hearing loss; hearing aids, cochlear implants, and hearing-assistive technology; hearing disorders; lifespan perspectives on auditory function; speech perception; and tinnitus.
