ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to make validity and reliability analyze with the Turkish adaptation of the European Evaluation of Vertigo Scale (EEV-TR). Material and Methods: Patients who applied to the otorhinolaryngology department with vestibular complaints were included in the study (n=100). EEV scale was adapted into Turkish from the original language. EEV-TR questionnaire and Vertigo Symptom Scale-TR (VSS-TR) assessments of the patients were performed twice, on the baseline and on the 4th week. Results: One hundred participants (65 women, 35 men) with a mean age of 50.87±14.94 were enrolled in the research. The mean age of 35 (35%) male patients was 55.51±12.41, and the mean age of 65 (65%) female patients was 48.5±15.75. 77 patients were diagnosed with BPPV, 18 patients with Meniere’s disease, and 5 patients with vestibular neuronitis. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the EEV-TR was calculated as 0.712 in the baseline measurement and 0.864 in the 4th-week measurement. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the EEV-TR was 0.835. A significant correlation was found between EEV-TR and VSS-TR baseline measurements (r=.411, p=0.001) and between 4th-week measurements (r=.649, p˂0.001). EEV-TR factorial accumulation was consistent with the original scale. The BPPV discriminative power of the EEV-TR scale was medium to high (p<0.01). Conclusion: EEV-TR is a valid and reliable scale that can be used in the evaluation and follow-up of patients with vestibular complaints.
ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Avrupa Vertigo Değerlendirme Ölçeği’nin [European Evaluation of Vertigo (EEV-TR)] Türkçeye uyarlanması ile geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerinin yapılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: EEV Ölçeği, orijinal dilinden Türkçeye uyarlandı. Kulak burun boğaz polikliniğine Kulak burun boğaz polikliniğine vestibuler yakınmalarla başvuran 100 hasta çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Hastaların EEV Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonu ve Vertigo Semptom Skalasının Türkçe versiyonu değerlendirmeleri ilk muayenede ve 4. haftada olmak üzere 2 kez yapıldı. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 50,87±14,94 olan 100 katılımcı (35 erkek, 65 kadın) çalışmaya alındı. Otuz beş (%35) erkek katılımcının yaş ortalamasının 55,51±12,41, 65 (%65) kadın katılımcının yaş ortalamasının ise 48,5±15,75 olduğu belirlendi. Yetmiş yedi hasta benign paroksismal pozisyonel vertigo, 18 hasta Meniere hastalığı, 5 hasta ise vestibüler nörinit tanısı aldı. EEV Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonunun Cronbach alfa değeri ilk muayenede 0,712, 4. hafta ölçümünde 0,864 olarak hesaplandı. EEV-TR’nin sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı 0,835 idi. EEV-TR ve Vertigo Semptom Skalası’nın Türkçe versiyonu başlangıç ölçümleri (r=.411, p=0,001) ve 4. hafta ölçümleri (r=.649, p˂0,001) arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu. EEV Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonunun faktöriyel dağılımı orijinal ölçekle uyumluydu. EEV-TR Ölçeği’nin benign paroksismal pozisyonel vertigoyu ayırt edici gücü orta-yüksek seviyedeydi (p<0,01). Sonuç: EEV Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonu, vestibüler şikâyetleri olan hastaların değerlendirilmesinde ve takibinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçektir.
