Abstract

The "Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering" (OASES; Yaruss & Quesal, 2006) was designed to measure comprehensively the overall experiences and impacts of stuttering, in four sections. We translated the OASES into Japanese (OASES-J) and administered it to 27 clinical patients who had no other disorders. The results showed a moderate impact of stuttering in Section 3, "Communication in Daily Situations," and moderate/severe impacts in the other three sections and the total averages. The impact ratings in all sections were significantly higher than those of the self-help group members previously reported. A cluster analysis revealed that the patients could be subdivided into two groups. One group showed moderate/severe mean impact ratings in all sections and in the total average. The other group showed the same impact rating in Section 1, "General Information," as with the other group, but moderate impact in the remaining three sections and in total. The impact ratings and certain items in Sections 3 and 4 were significantly correlated with the 3-point impression scales of stuttering severity and psychological impacts used by speech therapists. These findings demonstrate that the OASES-J provides extra information about impact of stuttering beyond what speech therapists gather during a routine assessment, and that the OASES-J also could present useful perspectives towards clinical intervention.
