Abstract
Dizziness is a very common symptom. It is difficult to evaluate severity of dizziness. Vertigo symptom scale short form (VSS-SF), a validated and reliable questionnaire has proposed for evaluating the benefit of vestibular rehabilitation treatment. It measure severity of dizziness including of balance and autonomic-anxiety dimensions within the past month. This questionnaire had been translated into Norwegian with good results, but the translation in Indonesian has not been done yet. This is a cross-sectional observational study design to measure reliability of Indonesian version of vertigo symptom scale short form (VSS-SF). A total of twenty patients with dizziness were analyzed by using Kappa Cohen coefficient including of 17 women (85%) and 3 men (15%), mean age 39.1 years (SD 14.03 years) with diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) 90% (18 cases) and cervical dizziness 10% (2 cases). The scale showed kappa coefficient of 0.89. Therefore, it has a very good inter rater agreement.
