Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the The Turkish Deglutition Handicap Index 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 Turkish Deglutition Handicap Index and Turkish Eating Assessment Tool.
