Résumé : |
To assess the psychometric properties of a Norwegian translation of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-NOR).
A survey was sent by post to patients referred with tinnitus as their main complaint to an audiology department. Patients completed a Norwegian version of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-NOR), a Norwegian translation of two revised subscales of the Abbreviated profile of hearing aid benefit (APHAB), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) as well as questionnaires measuring coping expectancies (TOMCATS) and neuroticism (EPI). Study sample Ninety-nine persons with tinnitus. Results No associations were found between THI-scores or pure-tone audiometry, gender or age. The proposed subscales of the original THI were not formed by responses from responders. The total scale shows good psychometric properties. Significant correlations were found between distress as measured by the GHQ-12, coping expectancies as measured by TOMCATS and neuroticism as measured by EPI and THI scores. Conclusions THI-NOR has psychometric properties similar to those of the Danish translation (THI-DK), from which it was adapted, and to the original THI. THI-NOR seems to be a valid measure of the impact of tinnitus on a persons everyday life. Findings show that the suggested subscales of the questionnaire should be interpreted with caution. |
