“…The choice of the type of scale must be based on practical considerations, on the individual preferences and on the feasibility of its use in the clinical routine taking into account the time of administration (3,4,9) . In the present study, both scales produced similar results as it happened to the Chinese study (11) . Therefore, the findings suggest that the patient and/or the clinician chose their favorite modality of rating scale.…”

“…This questionnaire was originally developed to be answered with a 100-unit VAS (14) . A previous study carried out in Hong Kong that investigated the difference between results provided by the two types of scale, showed similar outcome (11) . The present study had the objective of comparing these two types of rating scales using the VAPP self-assessment questionnaire in order to check the influence of them on the results obtained by the same instrument.…”

“…Therefore, the relationship with cognitive and sensorial factors must be taken into consideration (5,10) . Even though the VAS provides a greater sensorial discrimination and is considered the most indicated for evaluating subjective aspects (11,12) , demands an additional operationalization for obtaining the scores, which may demand more time and limit its use for the clinical routine (4) . The decision about what modality is more appropriate for using in clinical and research settings must be based on systematic evaluation of validity and reliability of the different scale modalities (9,13) .…”

OBJETIVO: O presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar duas modalidades de marcação de respostas do questionário Perfil de Participação e Atividades Vocais (PPAV), para investigar a influência das diferentes modalidades nos resultados produzidos por um mesmo protocolo. MÉTODOS: Participaram 32 indivíduos com queixa vocal, de ambos os gêneros, entre 15 e 58 anos, que responderam o protocolo de autoavaliação vocal PPAV em duas escalas de respostas, uma numérica com 11 pontos (EN) e outra analógico-visual de 10 cm de comprimento ou 100 pontos (EAV), em ordem casual de apresentação. O tempo de resposta foi registrado e houve um intervalo de duas semanas entre as aplicações. Ao término da tarefa, os participantes foram questionados sobre dificuldades encontradas para responder o protocolo nas duas versões de escala, indicando também sua preferência por uma delas. RESULTADOS: A média dos escores obtidos foi semelhante em ambas as escalas. Houve diferença apenas em escores parciais referentes à Limitação de Atividades e no aspecto Efeitos na Emoção, com pontuação média maior na escala numérica (p=0,008), porém sem impacto clínico. A ordem de aplicação das escalas não interferiu nas respostas obtidas, com exceção do aspecto Efeitos na Comunicação Social, que quando respondido na escala analógico-visual produziu valores menores no grupo de sujeitos que respondeu inicialmente a escala numérica (p=0,049). Finalmente, a maior parte dos participantes respondeu mais rapidamente ao questionário com a escala numérica (p=0,003). CONCLUSÃO: Os escores obtidos por meio de marcação de resposta com EN e EAV, para o PPAV, são semelhantes, sendo que o questionário com a escala numérica para resposta é respondido em menor tempo, o que pode favorecer sua utilização na prática clínica.

“…3,34 The present study used the version of VAPP that used an 11-point equal-appearing interval scale, 34 with ''0'' representing ''not affected'' and ''10'' representing ''always affected.'' Participants from Hong Kong filled in the original Cantonese version and those from Pittsburgh filled in the translated English version.…”

“…Some questions could be deleted. A visual analog scale may be replaced with a 0-10 equal-appearing interval scale, which has been shown to be as adequate as a VAS scale to measure voice disorder [11] . Retranslation of question 1 and adding a question about work at the beginning of the work section would help the patient to answer correctly.…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity, reliability and responsiveness of the Finnish version of the Voice Activity and Participation Profile (VAPP), a self-assessment questionnaire to measure psychosocial limitations caused by voice disorders. Methods: The study was conducted in Tampere University Hospital in 2004 and 2005. Voice patients (n = 142) with diverse chronic voice pathologies received 3–5 sessions of voice therapy. Controls were known individuals with healthy voices (n = 127). The VAPP form was completed before attending hospital, at the first visit to hospital and before and after voice therapy. Results: When comparing patients with healthy controls significant differences were found in score means. After brief voice therapy, the VAPP values improved moderately as 60% of patients had effect size of 0.27 or over. Physicians’ advice did not improve VAPP scores. The VAPP question profile was regarded as consistent. Cronbach’s alpha for the question profile was 0.958 and for the subsections 0.865. Conclusions: VAPP appeared to be valid and responsive to the intervention. In test-retest reliability, although intraclass correlation was high (0.905), there was a trend for the second answers to be better than the first. Some proposals are given to improve the practicality of the VAPP form.
