OBJECTIVE
To adapt Communicative Activity Log (CAL) in Korean and validate it as a communication assessment tool for Korean people with aphasia (PWA) after stroke.
METHOD
First, Korean version of CAL was made through a cross-cultural adaptation process according to the international guideline. The process consists of 6 steps including translation, reconciliation, back translation, cognitive debriefing, feedback and final reconciliation. In order to verify the reliability and validity of the tool, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and construct validity were used.
Fifty caregivers (mean age 49.96±10.26 years) who care PWA completed both Korean version of CAL and Korean version of Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 (K-SAQOL-39). Severity of aphasia was assessed by Korean version of the Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test (K-FAST). Internal consistency reliability was evaluated by Cronbach alpha. Construct validity of Korean version of CAL was investigated by correlation with K-FAST and concurrent validity was done with communication score of K-SAQOL-39.
RESULTS
Among fifty PWA, twenty subjects had cerebral infarction and mean duration after onset of aphasia was 47.96±62.01 months. Mean K-FAST and communication score of K-SAQOL-39 were 12.69±9.78 and 2.63±0.97, respectively.
The reliability test demonstrated that internal consistency was high (Cronbach’s α=0.987) and test-retest reliability was also high (r=0.915, p<0.001). The correlation between Korean version of CAL and K-FAST demonstrated high construct validity (r=0.882, p<0.001) and the correlation between Korean version of CAL and communication score of K-SAQOL-39 demonstrated high concurrent validity (r=0.915, p<0.001).
Conclusion
The cross cultural adaptation of CAL in Korean was successfully done and it is reliable and valid tool to assess the communication in daily life of PWA after stroke.
