Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of a Korean version of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (K-TPFQ).
Method
A total of 79 subjects participated in the study. All participants completed the K-TPFQ, and the Korean versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (
Buysse, Reynolds, Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989
;
Sohn, Kim, Lee, & Cho, 2012
), the Beck Depression Inventory (
Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961
;
Jo, Park, Jo, Ryu, & Han, 2007
), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaire (
Cho & Choi, 1989
;
Spielberger & Gorsuch, 1983
), and the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (
Kuk, Tyler, Russell, & Jordan, 1990
).
Results
The K-TPFQ exhibited good or high internal consistency and reliability (Cronbach's alpha range: .91–.95, item-total correlation range: .50–.82). The total score derived from the items of the K-TPFQ and its subcategories was moderately correlated with that of questionnaires that measure similar parameters (Pearson correlation coefficient range: .50–.79).
Conclusions
Overall, the results of this study indicate that the K-TPFQ is reliable and valid. Therefore, the current translated version of the K-TPFQ is applicable to subjects with Korean as their 1st language and proves to be a useful tinnitus questionnaire.
