“…The results of the present study also classified patients with total laryngectomy as well-adjusted with high 98% ( n = 49). The results presented in the current study differ significantly from those obtained by Mohd Shakri N. et al [23] in the validation of the SECEL questionnaire in Bahasa Malaysia. They demonstrated good adjustment in majority (78.3%) of their participants.…”

“…These findings support the use of the SECEL:HR as a valid tool for improving health care quality in patients undergoing laryngectomy [16–18, 21]. The SECEL:HR questionnaire was well-accepted and fully completed, suggesting that SECEL:HR is an easily self-managing, non-burdensome tool, which is consistent with previously mentioned studies [16–18, 21–23].…”

“…The SECEL:HR Environment and Attitude subscale and total score present satisfactory ICC values (ICC >0.70), but the General subscales failed to meet the standard value for internal consistency reliability for group comparison (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.409). These results are similar to those reported in the Italian, Swedish, and European Portuguese [17, 21, 22] and recently in Bahasa Malaysian [23]. Schindler et al [17] noted that the reason for such a result may be related to the more limited number of items (only 5) that constitute that scale.…”

“…Based on our experience, good adjustment may be due to excellent follow-up visits and support group interventions at our institution, as seen in a previous meta-analysis which indicated that social support group intervention among adults with chronic diseases can contribute to faster recovery and positive rehabilitation [40]. Another reason for such well-rehabilitated laryngectomized persons in Croatia may be due to one of inclusion criteria – laryngectomised patients completing their oncological treatment a year prior to study inclusion, as opposed to 3 months in the mentioned study [23].…”

“…The Self-Evaluation of Communication Experiences after Laryngectomy (SECEL) has been reported to have a good internal consistency and high reliability, and it seems to be a useful screening tool for distinguishing between patients who are adjusting well to their new voice and those who are not [16]. Besides being in the USA, SECEL has been translated into many languages (Swedish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish, Bahasa Malaysian) and has shown its effectiveness [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Schindler et al [17] analysed for the first time the relationship among the I-SECEL and objective and perceptual voice measures and presented preliminary data on the psychosocial adjustment of Italian patients who underwent partial laryngectomy or total laryngectomy, comparing the I-SECEL scores with VHI for the first time.…”

Introduction: The Self-Evaluation of Communication Experiences After Laryngectomy (SECEL) is a 35-item patient-reported questionnaire developed to address the communication needs of patients with laryngectomies. The aim was to translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate Croatian version. Methods: The SECEL was translated from English by two independent translators and back-translated by a native speaker, after which it was approved by an expert committee. The Croatian version of Self-Evaluation of Communication Experiences After Laryngectomy questionnaire (SECEL:HR) was filled in by 50 laryngectomised patients that had completed their oncological treatment a year prior to inclusion in the study. Patients also filled in the Voice Handicap index (VHI) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) on the same day. All patients completed SECEL:HR questionnaire twice, the second time being two weeks after the initial test. Maximum phonation time (MPT) and diadochokinesis (DDK) of articulation organs were used for objective assessment. Results: Among the Croatian patient’s, the questionnaire was well-accepted and demonstrated good test-retest reliability and internal consistency for two out of three subscales. Correlation between VHI, SF-36 and SECEL:HR were moderate to strong. There were no significant differences between patients who are using oesophageal, tracheoesophageal speech or those using the electrolarynx based on the SECEL:HR. Conclusion: Preliminary findings of the research indicate that Croatian version of the SECEL has sufficient psychometric qualities, high reliability and good internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89 for the total score. The Croatian version of SECEL can be recommended as a reliable and clinically valid measure for assessment of substitution voices in Croatian speaking patients.

IntroductionA total laryngectomy can impact multiple aspects of a patient’s life. SECEL is a method adapted for precise self-assessment of communication created specifically for post-total laryngectomy patients.MethodsSo far, the SECEL questionnaire has been validated in the English, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Croatian, and Malaysian languages s far. The reason for conducting the Polish validation of the questionnaire was the lack of an effective targeted tool for self-assessment of people post-total laryngectomy to be used in speech-phoniatric practice. The sample population was comprised of 33 patients. 94% of participants use the tracheoesophageal voice and the remaining 6% use the esophageal voice. The validation trials were conducted at the time of outpatient clinic visits or hospitalizations and included a filling in of the SECEL, VHI, EORTC, and QLQ-C30 using the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 subtype in addition to performing objective tests- a diadochokinesis and maximum phonation time on sound [a].The statistical analysis of the obtained results employed the basic measures of variability, Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the standardized alpha coefficient, the U-Mann-Whitney test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test.ResultsThe results of the study proved very good internal coherence of the Polish language translation of the SECEL questionnaire, with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient reaching the value of 0.92 and the standardized Alpha coefficient being 0.93. Correlation between the first and second completion of the SECEL questionnaire was demonstrated. The strength of the relationship was later calculated using Spearman’s rank coefficient, with its obtained value 0.73. The results are satisfactory in demonstrating the high reliability of the test's reproducibility. Statistical analysis indicates a high level of correlation between the SECEL and the VHI subscale of Speech Problems from the H&N35 questionnaire, a moderate level of correlation with the VAS scale included at the end of the Polish translation of the SECEL questionnaire, and no correlation at all between the Polish SECEL and MPT(a) and DDK. The results obtained are analogous to those obtained in previous foreign validations of the SECEL questionnaire.ConclusionThe Polish version of the SECEL questionnaire is characterized by good internal coherence, reliability, reproducibility, and correlation with other tools. The aforementioned data is sufficient for the proposal to employ the Polish translation of the SECEL questionnaire on a widespread basis in clinical practices.
