Objective:
This study aimed to establish and validate a Jordanian Arabic version of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI-JA) equivalent to the original DHI in English (DHI-E).
Methods:
The THI-E questionnaires were translated into formal Jordanian Arabic by two bilingual volunteer audiologists. The final version, curated by the author, was administered to 20 participants with normal balance and 64 patients experiencing dizziness at the Middle East Hearing and Balance Centre.
Results:
The results demonstrated excellent internal consistency and reliability of DHI-JA. A highly significant correlation was observed between the total scores and sub-scores of DHI-JA and DHI-E.
Conclusion:
This study concludes that the DHI-JA is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the severity of dizziness and balance disorders in the Jordanian Arabic-speaking population.
