Abstract：
Patients with Voice problems are frequently encountered in clinics. There is no tool available in Punjabi language for evaluation of impact of voice disorder on patient\'s life. The aim of this study was to adapt Voice Handicap Index in Punjabi language and to obtain validity, reliability and consistency of the developed tool. The study also aims to compare the scores of VHI-Punjabi between patients with voice problems and asymptomatic age-matched controls. The study follows qualitative research design with purposive sampling. The study was conducted at the Audiology and SLP unit of ENT, Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot, Punjab. A total of 200 subjects in the age group of 20-50 years were included, 100 each in study and control group. Combination of reverse translation, committee, and bilingual models were used for development of VHI-Punjabi. The construct validity was very good (r = 0.91). A statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) was obtained between the study group and control group in all the subtest scores and on the total scores of VHI-Punjabi. Statistical significant correlation is found in two administrations of VHI-Punjabi after a gap of 2 weeks in both study group and control group (p < 0.001). To find the internal consistency of VHI-Punjabi, Chronbach alpha was calculated, which came to be 0.97. The internal consistency was high. The results of the present study indicate that VHI-Punjabi is a valid and reliable tool that can be used for evaluation of patients with different types of voice problems.
摘要：
在诊所中经常遇到语音问题的患者。没有旁遮普语中可用的工具来评估语音障碍对患者生活的影响。这项研究的目的是适应旁遮普语中的语音障碍指数，并获得有效性，开发的工具的可靠性和一致性。该研究还旨在比较患有语音问题的患者和无症状年龄匹配的对照组之间的VHI-Punjabi评分。本研究遵循有目的抽样的定性研究设计。这项研究是在耳鼻喉科的听力学和SLP部门进行的，GuruGobindSingh医学院和医院，Faridkot,旁遮普.共纳入200名20-50岁年龄组的受试者，研究组和对照组各100人。反向平移的组合，委员会,和双语模型用于VHI-旁遮普语的开发。结构效度非常好(r=0.91)。研究组和对照组之间在所有子测试得分和VHI-Punjabi的总分上获得了统计学上的显着差异（p<0.001）。研究组和对照组在间隔2周后两次施用VHI-Punjabi时发现统计学上显著的相关性(p<0.001)。为了找到VHI-旁遮普语的内部一致性，计算了Chronbachα，是0.97。内部一致性很高。本研究的结果表明，VHI-Punjabi是一种有效且可靠的工具，可用于评估患有不同类型语音问题的患者。
