Abstract

Objectives: To identify Arabic-language self-report measures related to hearing, tinnitus and hyperacusis and evaluate whether they had been validated and cross-culturally adapted following translation from other languages.

Methods: The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR guidelines) and searched 5` information sources (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO and Google Scholar) from their inception to September 2023, identifying all originally developed or translated Arabic self- or parent-report measures related to hearing, tinnitus and hyperacusis. A total of 1,458 records were screened, with only 28 deemed eligible for inclusion.

Results: This review identified 23 measures related to hearing and 5 related to tinnitus and hyperacusis. All but three measures were translated and cross-culturally adapted from other languages. No statistical analysis was performed.

Conclusion: The absence of detailed descriptions of the translation process was a common concern in the identified publications. Despite millions speaking Arabic as their native language, there is a notable lack of high-quality, comprehensive Arabic-language self-report measures for hearing, tinnitus and hyperacusis. Further efforts are needed to develop and cross-culturally adapt validated Arabic measures in accordance with recommended guidelines for research and clinical applications.

阿拉伯人自我报告的听力、耳鸣和耳鸣测量的范围综述：有限的质量和数量。

目的：确定与听力、耳鸣和听觉亢进相关的阿拉伯语自我报告测量方法，并评估它们是否经过验证，并在从其他语言翻译后进行跨文化适应。方法：本综述遵循系统评价和meta -分析扩展范围评价的首选报告项目（PRISMA-ScR指南），检索了5个信息源（PubMed, Embase, Web of Science， PsycINFO和谷歌Scholar），从其成立到2023年9月，确定了所有最初开发或翻译的与听力、耳鸣和耳鸣相关的阿拉伯语自我或父母报告测量。总共筛选了1458条记录，其中只有28条被认为符合纳入条件。结果：本综述确定了23项与听力相关的措施，5项与耳鸣和听觉亢进有关。除了三个指标外，所有指标都是从其他语言翻译和跨文化改编的。未进行统计学分析。结论：在已确定的出版物中，缺乏对翻译过程的详细描述是一个共同的问题。尽管数以百万计的人以阿拉伯语为母语，但在听力、耳鸣和听觉亢进方面，明显缺乏高质量、全面的阿拉伯语自我报告方法。需要进一步努力，根据建议的研究和临床应用指南，制定和跨文化适应经过验证的阿拉伯措施。
