摘要

背景:尽管是第三大流行的精神障碍,但由于多种原因,社交焦虑症仍未得到充分诊断。虽然许多筛查工具都有英文版本,但迄今为止还没有一种工具被翻译成泰米尔语。目的:在母语为泰米尔语的斯里兰卡大学生群体中翻译并验证Liebowitz社交焦虑量表(LSAS-SR)的泰米尔语版本。方法:采用标准程序进行翻译和验证。DSM- 5被用作诊断社交焦虑障碍的金标准。作为心理测量学研究的一部分,测试重测信度和分析项目的内部一致性的工具进行了评估。结果:泰米尔版本LSAS-SR的最佳敏感性和特异性为55.5。回避子量表、总分和恐惧子量表总分之间的Cronbach’s alpha值为0.860,总分与恐惧子量表总分和回避子量表总分之间的Cronbach’s alpha值分别为0.880和0.855。恐惧分量表、回避分量表和总分的重测信度相关系数分别为0.890、0.925和0.918 (p)结论:LSAS-SR泰米尔版本的敏感度和特异度以截断分55.5为最佳。具有良好的内部一致性和重测信度。进一步的研究将能够评估斯里兰卡社交恐惧症的流行程度,并调查与社交恐惧症有关的文化和环境因素。

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS-SR) Tamil Version.

Background: Despite being the third most prevalent psychiatric disorder, social anxiety disorder remains under-diagnosed due to multiple reasons. Although many screening instruments are available in the English language, to date no instrument has been translated into Tamil.

Objective: To translate and validate the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS-SR) into Tamil among a group of Sri Lankan university students whose mother tongue is Tamil.

Method: The process of translation and validation involved standard procedures. DSM- 5 was used as the gold standard to diagnose social anxiety disorder. As part of the psychometric study, test-retest reliability and analysis of items for internal consistency of the instrument were assessed.

Results: A cut off of55.5had the optimum sensitivity and specificity for the Tamil version of the LSAS-SR. The Cronbach's alpha between the avoidance subscale, total and the fear subscale total was 0.860 while the figures for Cronbach's alpha between the total score and fear subscale total score and the avoidance subscale total score were 0.880 and 0.855, respectively. The test- retest reliability correlation coefficients for the fear subscale, avoidance subscale and the total score were 0.890, 0.925 and 0.918, respectively (p<0.001 for all).

Conclusions: The cut off score of 55.5had the optimum sensitivity and specificity for the LSAS-SR Tamil version. It had good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Further studies will enable the assessment of the prevalence of social phobia and investigation of cultural and environmental factors associated with social phobia in Sri Lanka.

期刊介绍: The Ceylon Medical Journal, is the oldest surviving medical journal in Australasia. It is the only medical journal in Sri Lanka that is listed in the Index Medicus. The CMJ started life way back in 1887 as the organ of the Ceylon Branch of the British Medical Association. Except for a brief period between 1893 and 1904 when it ceased publication, the CMJ or its forbear, the Journal of the Ceylon Branch of the British Medical Association, has been published without interruption up to now. The journal"s name changed to the CMJ in 1954.
