FERNANDEZ, Ingrid Spuler; FORNO, Soledad Correa e AZEVEDO, Renata Rangel. Cross Cultural Adaptation of the Self-Assesment Survey SingingVoice Handicap Index (SVHI) to the Chilean Spanish. Rev. Investig. Innov. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2023, vol.5, n.2, pp.129-148. Epub 10-Nov-2023. ISSN 2665-2056. https://doi.org/10.46634/riics.242.
Purpose:
To adapt the Singing Voice Handicap Index (SVHI) questionnaire linguistically and culturally to Chilean Spanish.
Methodology:
The SVHI was directly translated into Chilean Spanish and later back-translated into the original English language; both translations were reviewed by a judgment of bilingual experts, who defined which items would make up the first version of the translated tool. This version was answered by 15 Chilean singers with a diagnosis of dysphonia, with the aim of identifying discrepancies, which were reviewed and agreed upon by the committee of experts; a second modified version was applied to 5 more singers with a diagnosis of dysphonia, not finding misunderstood or inappropriate questions for Chilean culture at this stage.
Results:
5 of the 9 items questioned were modified to reach the final version that reflects the original English version, both in the number of items and in the domains of the survey.
Limitations:
Due to the number of participating people, only the cultural adaptation could be carried out and not the validation of the instrument that considers cut-off scores for the population studied. Therefore, the tool can be used to carry out a qualitative and not quantitative analysis.
Value:
Having this survey translated, following a rigorous methodological process, allows Chilean singers to express their singing-related vocal disadvantage and identify the most affected domains and, thus, plan the vocal intervention more specifically.
Conclusion:
The Singing Voice Disadvantage Index questionnaire for Chilean Spanish is available for its application to the Chilean language and culture.
