Resumen

Objetivo
Lograr la equivalencia cultural de la versión Chilena del Protocolo V-RQOL, a través de su adaptación cultural y lingüística.

Método
Primero, dos Fonoaudiólogos bilingües realizaron una traducción de V-RQOL al español. En segundo lugar, una Fonoaudióloga que no participó en las etapas previas, realizó una retrotraducción al inglés. Luego, se efectuó una comparación entre la versión original y la versión retrotraducida. Las discrepancias fueron modificadas por un comité de cinco Fonoaudiólogos, traduciendo el nombre al español como “Medición de la Calidad de Vida en Relación a la Voz” (MCV-RV) “, con 10 preguntas y 5 opciones de respuesta. Para la equivalencia cultural, se aplicó el protocolo a 15 personas con trastornos de voz. Para cada pregunta, se agregó la opción “No aplicable” entre las alternativas de respuesta con el fin de identificar preguntas incomprendidas o inapropiadas por la población. Dos de los sujetos evaluados tuvieron dificultad para responder dos preguntas diferentes, así que fue modificada solo una de ellas. La versión final del protocolo MCV-RV se aplicó a cinco personas con patología vocal, sin dificultades para comprender las preguntas adecuadamente.

Resultados
La MCV-RV refleja la versión original en inglés, tanto en número como en tipos de preguntas (incluido el funcionamiento físico y aspectos socioemocionales).

Conclusiones
Existe adaptación cultural de V-RQOL para el español Chileno (MCV-RV). La validación del MCV-RV para el español de Chile está actualmente en curso.
