“…The levels of reliability and internal consistency are in agreement with the original study by Jacobson et al [5] and those reported in most other studies using other language versions of the VHI [5,11,12,15,16,18]. Likewise, we observed high correlations between the 3 subdomains as well as between the subdomains and the total score of VHI both among patients and controls, suggesting that all three of the subscales mainly reflect one entity.…”

“…Furthermore, the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality reported in 2002 that the VHI met stringent criteria for reliability, validity and availability of normative data [10]. The VHI has been translated into many different languages [11,12,13,14,15,16,17], and it has been validated by assessing equivalence of the European translation of the questionnaire to German, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Belgian and Swedish [17]. The US VHI and the various European translations appear to be equivalent, suggesting that the results from the various published translations are comparable [17].…”

“…However, studies have shown that the VHI often works well as a shortened questionnaire [5,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. A shorter version of the VHI questionnaire could facilitate its use in practice.…”

Aims: To examine the psychometric properties of a Norwegian translation of the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and test its ability to discriminate between patients and controls. Abbreviated versions of VHI were also studied. Method: Following standard translation, 126 healthy subjects and 126 patients with laryngeal disease answered the Norwegian translation of the VHI-30 [hereafter, VHI-30(N)]. Results: The VHI(N) showed a high Cronbach α. Control/patient scores were as follows: Emotional (E): 0.88/0.90; Functional (F): 0.77/0.91; Physical (P): 0.86/0.83, and total: 0.93/0.94.One three-level question where the subjects rated the level of voice disease correlated well with the VHI(N) scores. The 90th (95th) percentile of the control score was 18 (33), whereas the mean ± SEM patient score was 52.3 ± 2.04 of a maximum of 120 points. Differences between patient and control groups were significant for all questions on the VHI(N). Receiver operating characteristic analyses demonstrate that the F, P, E and total VHI scores discriminated very well between patients and controls. This was also the case when the abbreviated scales were analyzed as published by Nawka et al. [Folia Phoniatr Logop 2009;61:37–48] and Rosen et al. [Laryngoscope 2004;114:1549–1556]. Conclusion: This Norwegian version of the VHI questionnaire seems to be psychometrically sound.

“…Depois disso, o questionário foi aplicado a sete indivíduos com distúrbios de voz, que tinham como objetivo sugerir possíveis modificações. Após consideradas as sugestões, realizou-se uma revisão consenso entre os autores, chegando-se à versão final (HELIDONI et al, 2010).…”

Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Protocolo de Avaliação de Voz do Deficiente Auditivo (PAV-DA) into EnglishMost objective and formal instruments available for voice assessment and diagnosis used by speech-language pathologists and audiologists in Brazil are translated and adapted from a foreign language into Brazilian Portuguese, since the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of existent instruments promote a better understanding of human communication disorders. In addition, there is a paucity of instruments specifically focused on the evaluation of voice in subjects between the previous versions of the material. Finally, the consensus version was sent to the committee of experts, who rated it from zero to ten, analyzed it and suggested alterations for the consensus version. In relation to the obtained scores, the protocol itself was the best rated section (average 8.7). There was a difference among the sections rated by the Brazilians (p=0.003). The ratings for the "Presentation and Instructions" section was lower than the others. After the experts rated the material, the appropriate alterations were made. At the end of this entire process, it was possible to translate and cross-culturally adapt the material, whose final version is entitled Protocol for the Evaluation of Voice in Subjects with Hearing Impairment (PEV-SHI).
