“…Higher scores show severe swallowing disorder. The normative data indicates that a PEDI-EAT-10 score of 4 or more demonstrates abnormal swallowing function with a sensitivity of 91.3% and specificity of 98.8% (Serel Arslan et al, 2018 ).…”

“…It was developed and validated by Lefton-Greif et al in 2014 (Lefton-Greif et al 2016). The Turkish translation study was performed in 2018, and it was found that the T-FS-IS has sufficient construct and discriminant validity, and excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability (Serel Arslan et al, 2018 ). The T-FS-IS has 18 questions, and three subscales including daily activities, worry and feeding difficulty.…”

The study was aimed to define swallowing related problems of toddlers with Down syndrome (DS) by comparing toddlers with typically developing children (TDC). A total of 127 children (96 DS, 31 TDC), and their mothers included in the study. The presence of chewing disorders, food selectivity, drooling, coughing during swallowing was scored as ‘ absent’ or ‘present’. The Pediatric version of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (PEDI EAT-10) was used to determine dysphagia symptom severity, and the Turkish version of the Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey (T-FS-IS) was used to measure the impact of swallowing disorders on caregivers. Mothers of DS reported higher rates of chewing disorders (n = 39, 40.6%), drooling (n = 30, 31.3%) and coughing during swallowing (n = 50, 41.7%) than mothers of TDC (p < 0.01). The mean PEDI-EAT-10 score of children with DS was higher than TDC (p = 0.006). There were significant differences between groups in terms of T-FS-IS. Moderate to strong correlations were detected between PEDI-EAT-10 and total and subscale scores from T-FS-IS (p < 0.001). This prospective study defines swallowing related problems of toddlers with DS. The study results highlight the importance of early investigation of (i) swallowing concerns in children with DS, and (ii) caregivers’ quality of life to define swallowing problems and plan an appropriate swallowing related management program.

“…FS-IS is the first validated instrument designed to measure the impact of children's feeding/swallowing problems their caregivers [18]. To date, it has been validated as a quality of life (QOL) instrument for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy [18,19], laryngeal clefts [20], eosinophilic esophagitis [21], and esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula [22]. In addition, it has been translated from English into Turkish and validated for children with cerebral palsy [19].…”

Translation, Cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Validity Evidence of the Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey (FS–IS) to Brazilian Portuguese

et al. 2021

The purpose of this study was to translate and adapt the Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey (FS-IS) into Brazilian Portuguese and provide a validated instrument for caregivers of children with feeding/swallowing disorders. This cross-cultural study involved initial translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, Committee of Experts, and pre-test. The sample consisted of 95 primary caregivers of children with feeding/swallowing disorders classified by Pediatric Dysphagia Evaluation Protocol (PDEP) in mild (n = 9), moderate-severe (n = 40), or profound (n = 46) dysphagia. Reliability and evidence of validity based on test content, response processes, internal structure and the relations to other variables were investigated. Internal consistency, test-retest, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were performed, in addition to the correlation with PedsQL™ Family Impact Module (PedsQL TM FIM). The pre-test participants did not report any difficulties in understanding the translated version. The Brazilian Portuguese version of FS-IS (Pt-Br-FS-IS) presented Cronbach's Alpha of 0.83, Exploratory Factor Analysis verified that the instrument would not be unifactorial (KMO = 0.74 and Bartlett's sphericity test p < 0.001) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirmed the original model in three subscales with χ 2 /df = 1.23, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.90, RMSEA (90% CI) 0.049 (0.011-0.073) adjustment indexes and the ICC was excellent in all subscales and total score. The correlation with PedsQL™FIM was significant in the total score and subscales. This study successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted the FS-IS instrument to the Brazilian Portuguese language and the investigation of its reliability and validity evidence suggests that the Pt-Br-FS-IS is a reliable and valid tool to measure the impact of feeding/swallowing disorders on the quality of life of caregivers of affected children.
