    Validity And Reliability Of Turkish Version Of The Secondary Screening Instrument For Targeting Educational Risk Questionnaires
    (Başkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi, 2024-04-01) Tokgoz-Yilmaz, Suna; Hancer, Hale; Orak, Ozge
    Objective: The Secondary Screening Instrument for Targeting Educational Risk Questionnaires (Secondary S.I.F.T.E.R.) is a scanning tool for teachers to evaluate the challenges and educational risks faced by deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students. In Turkey, there is a need for a screening tool to identify academic risks among DHH students. This study aimed to adapt the Turkish version of the Secondary S.I.F.T.E.R. (Secondary S.I.F.T.E.R.-T) and evaluate its validity and reliability. Materials and Methods: The Secondary S.I.F.T.E.R.-T was translated and cross-culturally adapted. Subsequently, the Secondary S.I.F.T.E.R.-T was administered by teachers of 104 DHH students (group 1) and 69 normal-hearing students (group 2) in the 6th to 12th grades to evaluate. Results: In the validity analysis of the Secondary S.I.F.T.E.R.-T, the item-total correlation coefficients, content validity ratio, and index were found to be compatible with the literature, and the subscale and total scale scores of the two groups were significantly different. High internal consistency reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha, split-half Spearman-Brown correlation, and Guttman's coefficients. A scoring grid was developed to identify low-, middle-, and high-performing students. Conclusions: The validity and reliability analyzes of the Secondary-S.I.F.T.E.R.-T were found to be acceptable, and scoring grids were determined. Secondary-S.I.F.T.E.R.-T can be used as a screening tool to identify academic risks among DHH students in Turkey.

    Does Chronic Subjective Tinnitus Affect Cognitive Performance In Adults with Hearing Thresholds of 25 dB and Less Between 0.5-4 kHz
    (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF AUDIOLOGY, 2024) Deniz-Sakarya, Merve; Cinar-Satekin, Merve; Yaldiz, Zahide C. B.; Tokgoz-Yilmaz, Suna
    Background In literature, the cognitive performance results of normal hearing individuals with tinnitus are inconsistent. It also differs in the control of other factors that may affect cognition. Purpose This study aimed to determine the differences in attention and memory performance between normal hearing individuals with chronic subjective tinnitus and age-sex-education-matched healthy controls. Study Sample Normal hearing individuals with subjective chronic tinnitus between 18 and 55 years of age, who have normal cognitive abilities (tinnitus group, n = 30) and age-sex-matched normal hearing individuals without tinnitus who have normal cognitive abilities (control group, n = 30) were included in this study. Data Collection The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test measured participants' general cognitive screening, and depressive symptoms were measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Tinnitus Handicap Inventory was used to determine the tinnitus handicap levels. Attention performance was evaluated with Stroop Test-TBAG Form, and short-term and working memory performances were evaluated with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R)-Digit Span Test. Results The tinnitus and control groups' depressive symptom scores were similar concerning the BDI ( p = 0.90). There was no statistically significant difference between both groups according to the completion time of the five sections of the Stroop Test, the number of errors and corrections of the Stroop 5 test, and the (WAIS-R)-Digit Span Test scores ( p > 0.05). Conclusion In our study, the Stroop Test and Digit Span Test performances of individuals with tinnitus and normal hearing were similar to the control group. Despite previous studies claiming an effect of tinnitus on cognition, our contrary findings are discussed in the light of other demographic, audiological, and psychological measurement variables, especially hearing loss.
