The aim of this study is to create a Turkish version of the Revised Dental Beliefs Survey (DBS-R) and describe its psychometric properties. The participants were 420 general dental patients. The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed that the DBS-R consisted of three factors consisting of 22 items. Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the 22-item three-factor version fit the data better than the original 28-item English language four-factor structure model proposed in Odontol Scand (2004;62:21). The internal reliability of the Turkish version of the DBS-R was Cronbach alpha of 0.88. The correlation between the Turkish version of the DBS-R and the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) was 0.29. Scores on the 22-item version were higher for anxious participants (MDAS > or = 15) than those determined to be not anxious [59.4 +/- 15.5 vs. 51.1 +/- 17.2 (t = -4.38, P < 0.0001)]. In conclusion, a 22-item modified version of the DBS-R in Turkish appears reliable and valid.
本研究旨在创建土耳其语版修订牙科信仰调查（DBS-R），并描述其心理测量特性。参与者为 420 名普通牙科患者。探索性因素分析的结果表明，DBS-R 由三个包含 22 个项目的因子组成。验证性因素分析结果表明，22 项三因子版本比 Odontol Scand（2004；62:21）提出的原始 28 项英语四因子结构模型更适合数据。土耳其语版 DBS-R 的内部可靠性为 Cronbach alpha 为 0.88。土耳其语版 DBS-R 与改良牙科焦虑量表（MDAS）之间的相关性为 0.29。焦虑组（MDAS≥15）的 22 项版本得分高于非焦虑组[59.4±15.5 与 51.1±17.2（t=-4.38，P<0.0001）]。总之，土耳其语版 22 项修订版 DBS-R 似乎可靠有效。
