Abstract

Introduction: Psychosocial aspects of stuttering may affect the quality of life of a person who stutters (PWS). Further, the social stigma and experiences of PWS may vary globally. The WHO-ICF guidelines recommend quality of life as an essential component in the assessment of individuals who stutter. However, the availability of linguistically and culturally appropriate tools is often a challenge. Thus, the current study adapted and validated the OASES-A for Kannada-speaking adults who stutter.

Method: The original English version of OASES-A was adapted to Kannada using a standard reverse translation process. The adapted version was administered on 51 Kannada-speaking adults with very mild to very severe stuttering. The data were analyzed for item characteristics, reliability, and validity assessment.

Results: The results revealed floor and ceiling effects for six and two items, respectively. The mean overall impact score indicated a moderate impact of stuttering. Further, the impact score for section II was relatively higher when compared to the data from other countries. The reliability and validity analyses showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability for OASES-A-K.

Conclusion: The findings of the current research suggest that OASES-A-K is a sensitive and reliable tool to assess the impact of stuttering in Kannada-speaking PWS. The findings also highlight cross-cultural differences and the need for research in this direction.

改编并验证坎纳达语成人口吃经历总体评估（OASES-A-K）。

导言：口吃的社会心理方面可能会影响口吃患者（PWS）的生活质量。此外，在全球范围内，PWS 的社会耻辱感和经历可能各不相同。世界卫生组织-国际口吃联合会指南建议将生活质量作为口吃患者评估的重要组成部分。然而，如何获得语言和文化上合适的工具往往是一项挑战。因此，本研究对 OASES-A 进行了改编和验证，以适用于讲坎纳达语的口吃成人：方法：采用标准的反向翻译程序，将原始英文版的 OASES-A 改编为卡纳达语。改编后的版本对 51 名讲坎纳达语的轻度至重度口吃成人进行了测试。对数据进行了项目特征、信度和效度评估分析：结果显示，分别有六个和两个项目出现了最低和最高效应。平均总体影响得分表明口吃的影响程度适中。此外，与其他国家的数据相比，第二部分的影响得分相对较高。信度和效度分析表明，OASES-A-K 具有良好的内部一致性和重测信度：目前的研究结果表明，OASES-A-K 是一种敏感可靠的工具，可用于评估口吃对讲坎纳达语的残疾人的影响。研究结果还强调了跨文化差异以及在这方面开展研究的必要性。
