Validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of Stuttering-Parental Diagnostic Questionnaire

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kekemelik için Anne-Baba Tanısal Ölçeğinin Türkçe sürümünün (KA-BTÖ-T) geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik verilerini ortaya koymaktır. KA-BTÖ, çocuğun konuşma davranışlarını, konuşma davranışlarına ilişkin anne-baba kaygılarını ve tutumlarını değerlendiren üç alt ölçek içermektedir. Yöntem: Özgün ölçeğin Türkçe çeviri, geri çeviri, anlaşılırlık ve amaca uygunluk çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Çalışma grubu kekemeliği olan 65, kontrol grubu ise kekemeliği olmayan 196 çocuğun anne-babalarından oluşmuştur. Ölçek, 62 maddeden oluşan dörtlü Likert tipindedir. Ölçeğin güvenilirliği için, Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı ve test-tekrar test korelasyonu hesaplanmıştır. Aynı zamanda Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği, Aile Hayatı ve Çocuk Yetiştirme Tutumları Ölçeği ve Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği ile korelasyonuna bakılarak Türkçe sürümünün içerik geçerliliği de değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışma grubu, yaş ortalaması 12.4±2.9 olan ve kekemeliği bulunan çocukların 65, kontrol grubu ise yaş ortalaması 12.6±2.5 olan ve kekemeliği bulunmayan çocukların 196 anne-babalarından oluşmuştur. KA-BTÖ-T'nin I, II ve III. alt ölçekleri için iç tutarlılık katsayıları (Croncbach alfa) sırasıyla %93.9, %95 ve %79 ve 10. haftadaki test-tekrar test korelasyonları 0.97, 0.78 ve 0.86 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Yapı, ayırt ettiricilik ve ölçüt geçerliliği yanında; toplam, alt ölçekler ve test-tekrar test güvenilirlik katsayıları, KA-BTÖ-T'nin psikometrik özelliklerinin tatminkâr düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir. Günümüzde anne-babalar, kekemelik tedavisinin tüm aşamalarında ekibin güçlü bileşenleri olarak görülmektedir. Çocuklarının konuşma davranışı hakkındaki fikir ve tutumlarını bilmek, anne-baba ile klinisyenin işbirliğini ve evden başlayarak birlikte daha uygun bir konuşma çevresi hazırlamayı kolaylaştırır. Klinisyenler bu amaçla.

Kekemelik için Anne-Baba Tanısal Ölçeği Türkçe sürümünün geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışması

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Stuttering-Parental Diagnostic Questionnaire (S-PDQ-T). The questionnaire has three subscales, the child's speech behaviors from the perspective of the parents; parents' worries about their child's speech, and the parents' attitudes toward their child's speech. Methods: The original S-PDQ was translated and adapted into Turkish. The S-PDQ-T was administered to parents of 65 children who stutter (CWS) and of 196 children who do not stutter (CWNS). The questionnaire is a 4-point Likert type scale, and has 61-items. The reliability of the scale was made using internal consistency coefficient and test-retest correlation. The S-PDQ-T was also correlated with the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WAYS), Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for the content validity. Results: The internal consistency coefficient was 93.9%, 95% and 79.1% for three subscales of the S-PDQ-T. The test-retests reliability at 10 weeks was high (0.97, 0.78, and 0.86 for subscale I, II, and III). Also, The S-PDQ was statistically and positively correlated with WAYS, PARI, and the STAI confirming concurrent validity. Conclusion: The results indicate that psychometric properties of the S-PDQ-T were at satisfactory levels. Knowing the parents' attitudes toward their child's speech behavior will enable clinicians to help them to cope with and prepare a stable, easy to speak environment. The S-PDQ-T can be used to obtain reliable information on parental attitudes for cooperation in stuttering management.
