A Study of the Application of Mandarin Chinese Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering-Adult Version
To analyze whether the Mandarin Chinese version of the "Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering-Adult version (OASES-A)" can be utilized to assess the experience of Mandarin-speaking adults who stutter
and the degree to which this questionnaire is understandable.
Methods
2
30 adults who stutter and 120 adults who do not stutter were selected. The impact scores and the overall impact scores were compared between the two groups
and the differences in responses to each question were further compared.
Results
2
The impact scores in each section of the questionnaire from the stuttering group were significantly higher than those from the non-stuttering group (
P
<
0.001). The overall impact score of the questionnaire for the stuttering group was significantly higher than that for the non-stuttering group (
P
<
0.001). Among the 54 questions applicable to both people with and without stuttering
41 questions showed significant differences between the
groups (
P
<
0.01)
while 13 questions did not show significant differences due to their focus on basic knowledge about stuttering
support groups
etc. 93% of the participants reported that the Mandarin OASES-A was easy or very easy to understand.
Conclusion
2
The Mandarin Chinese version of OASES-A can be utilized to assess the experience of the Mandarin-speaking adults who stutter
and it is generally considered to be highly understandable.
