Abstract

Surveys and scales are frequently used to determine the effects of hearing impairment on individuals' daily life. Hearing Impairment Scale-Elderly is a widely used scale in the worldwide. This study examines the reliability and validity of screening and long forms of the Turkish version of the Hearing Impairment Scale-Elderly. 147 individuals over 65 years of age participated in the study. Reliability of the long form of the scale with Guttman's formula was 0.94; Cornbach alpha coefficient was obtained as 0.95. A high correlation was found between total scores between screening and long form (r = 0.96; p <0.001). The reliability of the screening form of the scale was found to be 0.87 when examined with Cronbah alpha coefficient. In order to examine the construct validity of both forms, factor analysis was performed using both Pearson correlation coefficients and polychoric correlation coefficients. According to these analyzes, the scale forms were determined to be one-dimensional. Regarding construct validity, the predictive validity was also obtained that the degree of hearing loss increased, the total score obtained from the scale increased. The results of the study indicate that the Hearing Impairment Scale-Elderly is a reliable and valid scale for clinical use.

Özet

İşitme engelinin bireylerin günlük yaşamındaki etkilerinin belirlenmesinde sıklıkla anketlerden ve ölçeklerden yararlanılmaktadır. İşitme Engeli Ölçeği-Yaşlı dünya genelinde kullanımı yaygın olan bir ölçektir. Bu çalışma, İşitme Engeli Ölçeği-Yaşlı'nın Türkçe sürümünün tarama ve uzun formlarının güvenilirliğini ve geçerliliğini incelemektedir. Çalışmaya 65 yaş üstü, 147 birey katılmıştır. Ölçeğin uzun formunun güvenilirliği; Guttman yarıya bölme katsayısı 0,94; Cornbach alfa katsayısı 0,95 olarak elde edilmiştir. Tarama ve uzun form arasındaki toplam puanlar arasında yüksek ilişki belirlenmiştir (r = 0,96; p < 0.001). Ölçeğin tarama formunun güvenilirliği Cronbah alfa katsayısı ile incelendiğinde 0,87 olarak belirlenmiştir. Her iki formun yapı geçerliğinin incelenmesi amacıyla hem Pearson korelasyon katsayıları hem polikorik korelasyon katsayıları kullanılarak faktör analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu analizlere göre ölçek formlarının tek boyutlu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yapı geçerliği ile ilgili olarak ayrıca yordama geçerliği de yapılmış ve işitme kaybı derecesi arttıkça ölçekten alınan toplam puanın arttığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları İşitme Engeli Ölçeği-Yaşlı'nın klinik kullanım için güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir.
