To test the validity of the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) for use among adults in Greece.
The original English version of the OHIP-14 was translated using the forward-backward technique, pilot-tested, and then applied to 211 adults aged 35 years and above. The questionnaire was filled out during face-to-face interviews conducted by one dentist, while individuals were asked to undergo a clinical examination. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha (α) coefficient and inter-item and item-total correlations. Discriminant and convergent validities were assessed.
Cronbach's α was estimated to be 0.90. Inter-item correlations coefficients ranged from 0.10 to 0.83, while item-total correlations coefficients from 0.44 to 0.76. Significant associations were found between OHIP-14 and the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) and oral hygiene, supporting the ability of the questionnaire to discriminate between individuals with and without impacts. The OHIP-14 total score was highly associated with self-perceived oral health status (r(s) = 0.57; p = 0.01), as well as with self-assessment of oral satisfaction (r(s) = 0.55;p = 0.01). Similar results were observed by investigating the relationship between the latter questions and each domain score as well as in various sub-groups analyses.
The OHIP-14 is a reliable and valid questionnaire for the assessment of OHRQoL among adults in Greece.
测试简化版口腔健康影响量表(OHIP-14)在希腊成年人中的有效性。
采用正向-反向翻译技术对 OHIP-14 的原始英文版本进行翻译,进行预试验,然后应用于 211 名年龄在 35 岁及以上的成年人。在由一名牙医进行的面对面访谈中填写问卷,同时要求个人进行临床检查。使用 Cronbach's alpha(α)系数和项目间及项目总分相关性评估问卷的内部一致性。评估区分和收敛有效性。
估计 Cronbach's α 为 0.90。项目间相关性系数范围为 0.10 至 0.83,而项目总分相关性系数范围为 0.44 至 0.76。OHIP-14 与龋齿、缺失和填充的牙齿(DMFT)以及口腔卫生之间存在显著关联,支持问卷区分有和无影响个体的能力。OHIP-14 总分与自我感知的口腔健康状况高度相关(r(s) = 0.57;p = 0.01),与自我评估的口腔满意度也高度相关(r(s) = 0.55;p = 0.01)。通过研究后一个问题与每个领域得分之间的关系以及在各种子组分析中也观察到了类似的结果。
OHIP-14 是一种可靠且有效的问卷,可用于评估希腊成年人的口腔健康相关生活质量。
