What was measured

Completing the Croatian version of the Self-Evaluation of Communication Experiences after Laryngectomy (SECEL) questionnaire. Questionnaire consists of two parts. The first part examines the relevant general data on the person filling out the questionnaire, while the second part consists of 35 items questionably or statement-designed to examine communication experiences. Patients estimates the incidence of these communication difficulties on the Likert scale (0-never, 1-sometimes, 2-often, 3-always). The 35 items are divided into 3 subscales: General (0-15 points), Environment (0-42 points) and Attitude (0-45 points). Item number 35 is a separate question: "Do you talk the same amount now as you did before your laryngectomy?" and is scored with the rating categories "yes"," "more" and "less". The total numerical score ranges from 0 to 102, with a higher score indicating greater difficulty and poorer postoperative adaptation of speech communication.
