Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Communication Sciences
  • Rehabilitation Psychology

Background:

  • Effective communication is crucial for deaf adults.
  • Assessing communication challenges and strategies aids in targeted interventions.
  • Previous versions of the scale required refinement for improved psychometric properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a revised 125-item Communication Self-assessment Scale Inventory for Deaf Adults.
  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the revised scale, including internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
  • To examine how demographic and communication parameters influence responses to the scale.

Main Methods:

  • The 115-item scale was revised to create a 125-item inventory.
  • Internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and normative data were collected.

  • The revised scale was administered to prelingually deaf adults and adolescents with varying communication backgrounds and hearing aid use.

    • Main Results:

    • The revised scale demonstrated improved internal consistency for some subscales.
    • Significant differences in scale and subscale responses were observed based on hearing aid use, primary communication mode, and educational background.
    • Normative data were established for the revised scale.

    Conclusions:

    • The revised Communication Self-assessment Scale Inventory for Deaf Adults is a reliable and valid tool for assessing communication in deaf adults.
    • The scale's sensitivity to demographic and communication variables enhances its clinical utility.
    • Findings underscore the importance of considering individual communication profiles in audiological rehabilitation and support.
