El Voice Performance Questionnaire (VPQ) es un instrumento de autoinforme para pacientes con disfonía que resulta sencillo, fácil de administrar y tiene buenas características psicométricas. El objetivo de este trabajo es llevar a cabo la adaptación cultural de la versión española del VPQ en población disfónica española. El cuestionario fue traducido por tres expertos en Logopedia, y entonces retro-traducido por dos traductores nativos que no conocían el objetivo del estudio. Después de comparar las traducciones se llegó a una versión previa del instrumento, que fue aplicado en una muestra de 45 pacientes con disfonía. Se modificó una opción de respuesta en uno de los ítems debido a problemas de aplicabilidad en el mismo. Las estimaciones psicométricas iniciales y provisionales de consistencia interna, error típico de medida, fiabilidad test-retest y validez convergente fueron adecuadas. A partir de estos resultados se construyó la adaptación cultural del cuestionario (VPQ-E) que se ofrece como anexo.
