The Eating Assessment Tool-1 0 (EAT -1 0) is a validated, quick and easy to selfadminister,
symptom-specific outcome tool scale developed by Belasfsky et al. (2008).
Currently, the EAT -10 is translated and validated into 10 other languages globally,
including the most recent version being the Malay language which was translated and
validated by (Farah, 2017. ). The aim for this research is to test the criterion-related
validity and internal consistency reliability of the Malay version of Eating Assessment
Tool-1 0 (M-EAT -1 0) among population with neurological disorders. Participants were
recruited according to the exclusion and inclusion criteria before answering the
questionnaire. Eight participants, age ranges from 24 to 65 years old, voluntarily
participated in this research. Participants also went through an instrumental assessment
of Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) to validate the presence of dysphagia
according to the total scores from the M-EAT-10. By referring to the normative data
suggested by Belafsky et al. (2008}, individual with total severity scores of three and
above may have dysphagia. The findings of the research found that there is no
significant association between the M-EAT-10 and VFSS, tested using Fisher's Exact
test (p value= 0.250). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for Malay version ofEAT-10
(M-EAT-10) obtained was 0.895 (a= 0.895) which indicated good internal consistency
of the items in the M-EAT -10 scale. Overall, due to the limited participants affecting
the outcome of the research, future research with a larger participant size should be
conducted to determine the association between the M-EAT-10 scores with the VFSS.
Nevertheless, MEAT -10 can still be used to give early impression and description of
patient's symptoms to the clinicians and attending medical doctors in neurology clinics
or hospitals in Malaysia. |
