Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Measure of Audiologic Rehabilitation Self-Efficacy for Hearing Aids (C-MARS-HA) and to analyze self-efficacy of Chinese hearing aid users. Design: The Brislin translation model was strictly adopted to modify the C-MARS-HA. Participants included 134 hearing aid users aged 20–98. Hearing aid users were surveyed through questionnaire interviews regarding self-efficacy and overall satisfaction with hearing aids. Reliability and validity of the questionnaires were analyzed. Descriptive statistical and correlation analyses were conducted on the total score and four factors of the C-MARS-HA and overall satisfaction. Results: In reliability analysis, Cronbach’ s α, Spearman-Brown, and Guttman split-half coefficients of the overall and four factors were all greater than 0.6, indicating that C-MARS-HA has acceptable reliability. In validity analysis, C-MARS-HA consisted of 24 items across 4 factors (basic handling, aided listening, adjustment and advanced handling) and had acceptable content validity. Exploratory factor analysis yielded with a four-factor solution, explaining more than 40% of the total variance and the loading coefficient for each of the 24 items was above 0.4, indicating that C-MARS-HA had good construct validity. Conclusions: The reliability and validity of the C-MARS-HA is acceptable. This questionnaire can be used for clinical evaluation of self-efficacy among Chinese hearing aid users.
