The CSOA consists of a 41‑item Communication Strategies scale and a 31‑item Communication Attitudes scale, available in three‑ and five‑point response formats. The scales were standardized on 135 independent‑living adults with hearing loss aged 60–88, with item analysis, internal consistency, test‑retest reliability, normative data, and 95 % confidence intervals reported. A sample case demonstrates how the scales assess an individual’s strategies and attitudes, and group data show changes in these measures at 3 and 9 months after aural rehabilitation.
The communication Self-Assessment Scales for Older Adults (CSOA) are comprised of a 41-item Communication Strategies scale and a 31-item Communication Attitudes scale. Three-point and 5-point response formats are available. The scales were standardized on a population of 135 independent-living adults with hearing loss, ranging in age from 60 to 88 years. Item analysis, internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, normative data, and 95 percent confidence intervals are presented. A sample case illustrates how the scales can be used to evaluate the communication strategies and attitudes of an individual client. In addition, data are presented to show changes in the use of communication strategies and attitudes of a group of clients 3 months and 9 months after completion of aural rehabilitation programs.
