To investigate if there is convergent validity between the dimensions of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief Version (WHOQOL-Bref) and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire.
In this cross-sectional study, a random sample of 872 elderly Southern-Brazilians was evaluated. Questionnaires assessing socio-demographic data and quality of life in general (WHOQOL-Bref) and oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14) were used. Analysis of the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 questionnaires used descriptive statistics. The dimensions of the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 questionnaires were correlated by affinity. The convergence between WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 dimensions was analyzed by Spearman's correlation coefficients.
The social relations dimension of the WHOQOL-Bref presented the greatest mean (18.24 ± 2.30). The physical pain dimension of the OHIP-14 presented a median of 1.0 (0.0 - 3.0). All correlations between the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 dimensions were significant, negative and associated with a low magnitude. The correlation between WHOQOL-physical and OHIP-functional limitation, OHIP-physical pain, OHIP-physical disability and OHIP-handicap were - 0.164, - 0.262, - 0.196 and - 0.125 respectively. WHOQOL-psychological was associated with OHIP-psychological discomfort and OHIP-psychological disability, and WHOQOL-social showed an association with OHIP-social disability.
All correlations analyzed had a positive association of low magnitude. Despite the fact that the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 instruments have related dimensions, they measure physical, psychological and social relations differently.
探讨世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHOQOL - Bref）维度与口腔健康影响程度量表 - 14（OHIP - 14）之间是否存在收敛效度。
在这项横断面研究中，对872名巴西南部老年人的随机样本进行了评估。使用了评估社会人口统计学数据和总体生活质量（WHOQOL - Bref）以及口腔健康相关生活质量（OHIP - 14）的问卷。对WHOQOL - Bref和OHIP - 14问卷的分析采用描述性统计。通过亲和性对WHOQOL - Bref和OHIP - 14问卷的维度进行相关性分析。采用Spearman相关系数分析WHOQOL - Bref和OHIP - 14维度之间的收敛性。
WHOQOL - Bref的社会关系维度均值最高（18.24 ± 2.30）。OHIP - 14的身体疼痛维度中位数为1.0（0.0 - 3.0）。WHOQOL - Bref和OHIP - 14维度之间的所有相关性均显著、呈负相关且强度较低。WHOQOL - 身体维度与OHIP - 功能受限、OHIP - 身体疼痛、OHIP - 身体残疾和OHIP - 残障的相关性分别为 - 0.164、 - 0.262、 - 0.196和 - 0.125。WHOQOL - 心理维度与OHIP - 心理不适和OHIP - 心理残疾相关，WHOQOL - 社会维度与OHIP - 社会残疾相关。
所有分析的相关性均呈低强度正相关。尽管WHOQOL - Bref和OHIP - 14工具具有相关维度，但它们对身体、心理和社会关系的测量方式不同。
