Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals among adult patients with swallowing disorders.The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of the instrument will be investigated. The internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95 % confidence intervals will be calculated for test-retest reliability.
