January 3, 2024 updated by: SELEN SEREL ARSLAN, Hacettepe University

The Turkish Version of the Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals among adult patients with swallowing disorders.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals among adult patients with swallowing disorders.The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of the instrument will be investigated. The internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95 % confidence intervals will be calculated for test-retest reliability. The criterion validity of the scale will be determined by assessing the correlation between the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals and Turkish Eating Assessment Tool.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals
Time Frame: 3 months
This instrument is used to evaluate swallowing function. The test consists of 18 four points Likert-type items, organized assessing 3 scales: Safety, Efficacy, and Others. In most of the items, the Likert scale ranged from 1 = Never to 4 = Very often. The test score ranges from 18 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points.
