| Περίληψη: | Purpose: Vocal fold (VF) nodules are very common laryngeal lesion that affects people, including children as well. However, it has a negative impact on the communication and voice quality which is why it is important to study and measure it. Unfortunately, there may be factors which disturb examining process especially during questionnaire self-assessment. This study aimed to investigate whether public speaking anxiety (stage fright) correlates with scores on the Children's Voice Handicap Index-10 (CVHI-10) and to determine if children with VF nodules assess their voice similarly to those without such lesions. Method: Thirty-seven respondents at age 8-12 participated in the study. It was conducted the surveys: Children Voice Handicap Index-10 (CVHI-10), Stage Fright Scale - Children & Youth (SFS-CY), and Neuroticism subscale of the Big Five Questionnaire - Children (BFQ-C-Neu) and endoscopy laryngeal examination. The text describes the reliability analysis, means comparison, and correlation analysis. Results: The measures used achieved a high level of reliability. There were no statistically significant differences in voice self-assessment scores between groups with and without VF nodules. Significant relationships were found between the CVHI-10 scores and all factors of the SFS-CY. Conclusions: The results reveal that children with VF nodules assess their voice similarly to those without laryngeal lesions. Correlation analysis shows significant relationships between voice handicap in self-assessment and stage fright factors. This may explain the lack of differences in CVHI-10 scores among groups; however, further research is needed to clarify this phenomenon. (Copyright © 2024 The Voice Foundation.
