Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals among adult patients with swallowing disorders.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals among adult patients with swallowing disorders.The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity of the instrument will be investigated. The internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value with 95 % confidence intervals will be calculated for test-retest reliability. The criterion validity of the scale will be determined by assessing the correlation between the The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals and Turkish Eating Assessment Tool.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Turkish Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening Test for Patients and Professionals | This instrument is used to evaluate swallowing function. The test consists of 18 four points Likert-type items, organized assessing 3 scales: Safety, Efficacy, and Others. In most of the items, the Likert scale ranged from 1 = Never to 4 = Very often. The test score ranges from 18 (minimum) to 72 (maximum) points. | 3 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures
