Self-Evaluation of Communication Experiences after Laryngectomy (SECEL) questionnaire has been developed, with the aim of evaluating rehabilitation needs and the psychosocial care for patients with laryngeal cancer. This short but comprehensive self-report instrument measures the perceived adjustment to communication experiences and is intended to aid in determining counselling needs in patients with laryngeal cancer who are treated with a laryngectomy. The first aim of this study is to evaluate the translation, psychometric properties and cultural adaptation of a Croatian version of the SECEL questionnaire. Secondary aim is to examine relationship between the Croatian version of the SECEL and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) questionnaires and to examine relationship between objective voice measures and Self-Evaluation of Communication Experiences after Laryngectomy (SECEL:HR).
