“…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.

“…Researchers and clinicians have argued for the adoption of a broader conceptualisation of stuttering, which aims not only to delineate the surface behaviours present in an individual's speech, but also the psychosocial impact stuttering may have on their life (Cooper & Cooper, 1996;Rustin, Cook, & Spence, 1995;Yaruss & Quesal, 2004, 2006. Negative emotions (such as anxiety, fear and guilt) have been attributed to the disorder for over 2000 years (Fitzgerald, Djurdjic, & Maguin, 1992).…”

The present study examined the relationship between anxiety, attitude toward daily communication, and stuttering symptomatology in adolescent stuttering. Adolescents who stuttered (n = 19) showed significantly higher levels of trait, state and social anxiety than fluent speaking controls (n = 18). Trait and state anxiety was significantly associated with difficulty with communication in daily situations for adolescents who stutter, but not for controls. No statistically significant associations were found between anxiety and measures of communication difficulty, and the severity or typography of stuttering surface behaviours. These results highlight some of the psychosocial concomitants of chronic stuttering in adolescence, but challenge the notion that anxiety plays a direct mediating role in stuttering surface behaviours. Rather, the results suggest stuttering is a disorder that features psychosocial conflict regardless of its surface features.Educational objectives: The reader will be able to: (1) summarise findings from previous studies with regards to stuttering and anxiety; (2) identify the sub-types of anxiety that may impact on the individual who stutters; and (3) discuss the clinical implications of the results with regards to working with adolescents who stutter.

“…Therefore, understanding the experience of people who stutter, both in and out treatment, will lead to improved outcomes. Authors 1-2 have developed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering -Adult version (OASES-A), an instrument based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) 3 . This classification "(...) replaces the negative perspective of impairment and disability with a positive standpoint".…”

Background: understanding the experience of people who stutter, both in and out treatment, will lead to improved outcomes. Aim: to investigate how stuttering affects the quality of life of children and adolescents who stutter. Method: the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering -School-Age (OASES-S) was used to assess the impact of stuttering and the Fluency Profile Protocol was used to stuttering severity. Results: these age groups do experience moderate negative impact as measured by the OASES-S. The results showed a tendency toward a positive correlation between severity and the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusion: a better understanding of the impact of stuttering in these age groups provides a needed guide for the development of stuttering treatments and treatment outcomes research. Key Words: Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences; Quality of Life; Stuttering. ResumoTema: compreender a experiência das pessoas que gaguejam, dentro e fora do contexto de tratamento, conduz a melhores resultados. Objetivo: investigar como a gagueira afeta a qualidade de vida de crianças e adolescentes que gaguejam. Método: o Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of StutteringSchool-Age (OASES-S) foi utilizado para avaliar o impacto da gagueira e o Protocolo do Perfil da Fluência para severidade da gagueira. Resultados: os grupos estudados experienciam impacto negativo moderado conforme medido pelo OASES-S. Os resultados evidenciam tendência à correlação positiva entre grau de severidade e impacto da gagueira na qualidade de vida. Conclusão: uma melhor compreensão do impacto da gagueira nas faixas etárias estudadas propicia direção necessária para desenvolvimento de tratamentos da gagueira e pesquisa dos resultados do tratamento.
