YUTMA YAŞAM KALİTESİ ANKETİ’NİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYONUNUN GÜVENİRLİK VE GEÇERLİLİĞİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; Yutma Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi (SWAL-QOL)’nin Tükçe’ye çevrilmesi ve

nörojenik yutma güçlüğü olan hastalar arasıda güvenirlik ve geçerliliğinin test edilmesidir.

Yöntemler: Yüz beş hasta (ortalama yaş= 57±15.4 yı, ortalama ağılı= 69.5±16.3 kg, ortalama

boy=162.8±22.4 cm) SWAL-QOL’ı Tükçe versiyonu (T-SWAL-QOL) ve World Health Organization

Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHO QOL-BREF)’ı kısa formunu tamamladı T-SWAL-QOL’ı

içtutarlıığı test-tekrar test güvenirliği ve kriter geçrliliğ psikometrik analizler olarak araşııdı

Güenirlik; içtutarlıı ve test-tekrar test güenilirliğ testleri kullanıarak değrlendirildi. Kriter geçrliliğ

değrlendirmek içn T-SWAL-QOL ve WHO-QOL-BREF arasıdaki korelasyon hesaplandı

Sonuçlar: T-SWAL-QOL’in içtutarlıığıtest içn Cronbach’s alpha değri 0.88, tekrar test içn 0.91

olmak üzere yüksek bulundu. Genel yakıma, yeme zamanı yeme isteğ ve sosyal alt başlıkları

test-tekrar test güvenirliği iyi (sırasıla; r=0.696, r=0.790, r=0.787, r=0786, p<0.001) ve besin seçmi,

yeme korkusu, uyku, yorgunluk, iletişim ve mental sağı test-tekrar test güenirliği mükemmel

bulundu (sıarsıyla; r=0.832, r=0.833, r=0.841, r=0.839, r=0.883, r=0.847, p<0.001). T-SWAL-QOL ve

WHO-QOL-BREF arasında zayı/orta düzeyde korelasyon bulundu (p<0.05).

Tartışma: T-SWAL-QOL’in disfaji değerlendirmesinde geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu gösterildi.

Bu çalışma; Tükiye’de disfajiye öel yaşam kalitesini değrlendiren ölçek eksikliği ile ilgili

problemin çözümüne katkı sağladı

RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE SWALLOW QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE

Öz

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate the Swallow Quality of Life Questionnaire

(SWAL-QOL) into Turkish and to test its reliability and validity among patients with neurogenic

swallowing disorders.

Methods: One hundred and five patients (mean age= 57±15.4 years, mean weight= 69.5±16.3 kg,

mean height=162.8±22.4 cm) completed the Turkish version of the SWAL-QOL (T-SWAL-QOL) and

short form of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHO QOL-BREF). The

internal consistency, test-retest reliability and criterion validity of T-SWAL-QOL as psychometric

analysis were explored. Reliability was estimated using tests of internal consistency and test–

retest reliability. The correlation between T-SWAL-QOL and WHO-QOL-BREF was calculated to

evaluate criterion validity.

Results: The internal consistency of T-SWAL-QOL was found to be high with 0.88 Cronbach’s

alpha value for test and 0.91 Cronbach’s alpha value for retest. General burden, eating duration,

eating desire and social subscales were found to have good test-retest reliability (r=0.696,

r=0.790, r=0.787, r=0786, p<0.001; respectively) and, food selection, fear of eating, sleep, fatigue,

communication and mental health were found to have excellent test-retest reliability (r=0.832,

r=0.833, r=0.841, r=0.839, r=0.883, r=0.847, p<0.001; respectively). A weak/moderate correlation

was found between the T-SWAL-QOL and WHO-QOL-BREF (p<0.05).

Discussion: The T-SWAL-QOL was shown to be a valid and reliable questionnaire in dysphagia

evaluation. This study will contribute to solve the problem about the lack of a scale to measure the

dysphagia specific quality of life in Turkey.
