Development and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Tamil Version of the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQoL) and Assessment of its Reliability and Validity
The content validity analysis of the translated Tamil version of SSQoL-T showed strong positive outputs for both total score and sub-score assessments. In test-retest reliability analysis, good reliability with Cronbach's alpha (≥0.9) was observed for both total score and sub-score assessments. Conclusion: This study's findings underscore the content validity and good reliability of SSQoL-T as a screening tool for assessing stroke among Tamil-speaking populations, providing valuable insights for clinicians and researchers in the assessment and management of strokes.
