| description | Background: Stuttering is a communication disorder. It is expected that
stuttering may have negative impact on individuals’ mental and emotional
health, which may affect their quality of life. Therefore, this paper aims to study
components of social phobia inventory in Persian adults with stuttering and
compare the likelihood (odds) of social phobia in the stuttering group to that in
the control group.
Methods: Using social phobia inventory, this case-control study compared
social phobia in 33 adults with stuttering and 33 age-gender-education matched
subjects with fluent speech. All the participants were 18 years or above.
Results: Independent t-test showed that the total score of the social phobia
inventory. Its fear component has significant statistical differences between
group of adults with and without stuttering. Moreover, the adults with stuttering
have over two times more social phobia symptoms than that in ones who don’t.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that social phobia should be considered in
therapy programs for adults with stuttering. In addition to restructuring speech,
a part of the treatment program should address people’s social phobia, especially
their feeling of fear, in order to curtail some of the negative consequences
associated with stuttering. |
