Abstract
ContextIn trans women, the physiological aspects of their voices that may be different from expected, either by them or other people they interact with, may result in limitations in their daily lives generating feelings of inadequacy, restricting social interaction, and impacting their overall psychosocial well-being. ObjectiveThe objective was to undertake the transcultural adaptation of the TWVQ and test its face and content validity, as well as its conceptual, practical, and lingüistic equivalence to measure the self-perception of trans women's voices from Argentina and its impact on their daily lives in relation to their health. MethodThis study followed the World Health Organization guidelines for transcultural adaptations recommended by the author of the original TWVQ Georgia Dacakis. The adaptation underwent five different stages. I – Two forward translations (from English to Spanish from Argentina), II – expert panel revision, III – interview with a group of trans women to test comprehension, IV – two back translations (from Argentinian Spanish back to English), and V – pre-testing and cognitive interviewing with a group of trans women. ConclusionThe TWVQ-AR is valid in face and content validity as well as in conceptual, practical, and lingüistic equivalence to the original TWVQ to successfully measure the self-perception of trans women's voices from Argentina and its impact on their daily lives in relation to their health.
