“…This finding agrees with the proposition that stuttering can affect more than just the ability of the person to produce the necessary fluency, as the qualiy of life is an important factor to be considered for its multidimensional characteristics (7)(8)(9)18,(20)(21)(22)(23)30) .…”

PURPOSE: To verify the applicability of the protocol Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering - Adults (OASES-A), translated into Brazilian Portuguese, in a sample of adults who stutter. METHODS: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the OASES-A protocol was individually applied to 18 people who stutter. The classification of stuttering severity was based on the Stuttering Severity Instrument for Children and Adults (SSI-3) protocol. Translation and back-translation processes were carried out by specialists, considering semantic, conceptual, cultural, and idiomatic equivalences. RESULTS: There was no correlation between the severity degrees of stuttering assessed by the SSI-3 protocol and the self-assessment performed using the OASES-A. Subjects reported impairments in perceived fluency; speech ability; level of knowledge about stuttering and treatment options; use of confrontational techniques; quality of life. They also mentioned having difficulty coping with emotional states such as anxiety and embarrassment, and with communication in daily situations. CONCLUSION: The OASES-A protocol is useful in the assessment and treatment of stutterers, as it provides specialized speech-language pathologists with sutterers' self-perception regarding their communication difficulties and the impact of stuttering on their quality of life.

“…Most studies do not show any significant differences in the self-evaluation of stuttering for male and female stutterers (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) , however, when more precise themes are studied differences can be identified.…”

“…The physical and emotional fatigue of constantly monitoring speech and efforts to control stuttering can contribute to the individual's perception of quality of life (3) . The negative impact of stuttering on quality of life was described by some researchers (2,4,13) . However, there is no consensus in the literature on the relationship between stuttering severity and its impact on quality of life.…”

“…The main attitudes and feelings of people who stutter in relation to the disorder are denial, passivity, hopelessness, guilt, shyness, shame and fear related to speech, anxiety, in addition to frustration and anger (2) . Emotional adverse reactions in routine communication situations (3) , such as physical, psychological, social, and vocational losses (4) , were reported by individuals who stutter.…”

“…However, there is no consensus in the literature on the relationship between stuttering severity and its impact on quality of life. Some authors believe that the higher the severity, the greater the impact on quality of life (14) , whereas others found contradictory data (2,15,16) . Thus, the objectives of this study were to investigate the behavioral and social competency profiles of individuals who stutter and to compare them with persons who do not stutter, according to their parents; to correlate the behavioral performance and social competence and the severity of stuttering.…”

PURPOSE: To investigate the behavioral and social competency profiles of individuals who stutter and to compare them with persons who do not stutter, according to their parents; to correlate the behavioral and the social competence performances with the severity of stuttering. METHODS: Sixty-four participants, aged 6 to 18 years, of both genders, were divided into two groups: the study group (SG), composed of 32 individuals with persistent developmental stuttering, and the control group (CG), composed of 32 fluent individuals. The procedures used were fluency assessment, stuttering severity instrument, and the Child Behavior Checklist inventory. RESULTS: In the behavioral profile of the SG, the mean of the total score and that of the internalizing problems were classified as clinical. The comparison between the groups showed differences in the behavioral profile concerning the total score, and in the internalizing and externalizing problems; and in the social profile, concerning the total score and activity scale. There were no statistically significant differences in the scales among the mild, moderate, and severe stuttering. CONCLUSION: According to the information provided by parents, children who stutter showed peculiar behavior and social competence, with a higher tendency to manifest alterations in this area, in comparison to those who do not stutter. Fear, nervousness/tension, guilt, anxiety, perfectionism, and worry were the most frequent alterations in relation to the behavior, whereas damages in the social field and in the habitual communication situations characterized the social competence of persons who stutter.
