“…They all seemed to find it beneficial to get to know other PWS and this promoted a sense of comfort and acceptance that encouraged them to focus on and work on their speech. A number of studies have explored the role of support groups such as the National Stuttering Association (NSA) in coping responses for PWS (Hayhow, Cray, & Enderby, 2002;Yaruss, Quesal, & Murphy, 2002;Yaruss, Quesal, Reeves, et al, 2002). Studies indicate that most individuals appear to benefit from group interaction with other PWS; a theme that resonated with all participants in this study as well.…”

“…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.…”

“…When dealing with the level of knowledge of stuttering, there are studies which point to a lack of knowledge of those individuals who attend(ed) self-help groups and benefit they may have gained from that (16,17) . The implementation of programmes which favour the clarification and awareness about stuttering and its treatment is relevant, as are those which are held by official organisations and under the clinical auspices of a speech and language specialist.…”

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.

“…This is surprising, because such negative consequences of the disorder are a key feature for the broader daily experience of persons who stutter (Yaruss et al, 2002). Moreover, a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the experienced negative consequences could lead to a more differentiated perspective on the diagnosis and treatment of stuttering.…”
