20.500.12556/RUL-182612 Slovenian version of the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale 39-Generic Version (SAQOL-39g) psychometric properties Purpose: Aphasia, which is one of the most common consequences of stroke, has severe impact on everyday life. Quality of life in persons with aphasia changes dramatically. In the recent years, there has been a lot of interest in assessing health-related quality of life, but few questionnaires are adapted to people with aphasia (PwA). The Stroke Aphasia Quality of Life-39 scale (SAQOL-39) Generic Version is suitable for people with and without aphasia. Our study examined the reliability and validity of a translation of the SAQOL-39 g into Slovenian in Slovenian-speaking PwA. Methods: Translation, back-translation from English into Slovenian language was performed. Seventy-three PwA with broad range of severity and times post-onset of stroke were included in the study of psychometric properties of the Slovenian translation. Results: The psychometric properties in Slovenian version were quite similar to other languages, with high internal consistency and test-retest reliability (Cronbach alpha > 0.94; ICC ≥0.99). Conclusion: The Slovenian translation of the SAQOL-39 g is a valid and reliable measure of quality of life in PwA. It can be clinically used as an additional tool for goal setting in Slovenian PwA. quality of life stroke assessment Slovenia aphasia patient reported outcomes kakovost življenja možganska kap ocenjevanje Slovenija afazija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-05-19 09:42:00 2026-05-19 09:42:08 2026-05-23 04:41:55 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1786-1792 no. 11 Vol. 38 2024 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-03-04 616.89 1464-5041 10.1080/02687038.2024.2325174 187906819 RAZ_Sirca_Ule_Patricija_2024.pdf RAZ_Sirca_Ule_Patricija_2024.pdf 1 1C84F20B8BA73F9637D00C965D3BC74E 3cb329e2cbe5909fb91afbba62db86af6bc86ea7915bd6753cbe988937f2fda5 76c4278d-5596-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234281 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02687038.2024.2325174 1 ed111826-5355-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234023 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
