The objective of this study was to evaluate the convergent validity between the domains of the Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant image (AUQUEI) and the Child Perceptions Questionnaire instrument (CPQ(11-14)) among schoolchildren and to assess the difference between socio-economic and clinical variables associated with their scores.
An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with 515 schoolchildren aged 12 years from 22 public and private schools, selected with the use of a random multistage sampling design. They were clinically examined for dental caries experience (DMFT and dmft index) and orthodontic treatments needs (DAI index) and were asked to complete the Brazilian versions of Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ(11-14)) and Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant image (AUQUEI). In addition, a questionnaire was sent to their parents inquiring about their socio-economic status and home characteristics. The convergent validity of the Brazilian versions of CPQ(11-14) and AUQUEI instruments was analyzed by Spearman's correlation coefficients. For comparison between the summarized scores of each questionnaire with regard to the schoolchildren's socio-environmental and clinical aspects the nonparametric Mann-Whitney was used at level of significance of 5%.
The mean DMFT index was 1.09 and 125 (24.3%) children had orthodontic treatment needs (DAI ≥ 31). There was a similarity and a weak correlation between the scores of the domains of CPQ(11-14) and AUQUEI (r ranged between -0.006 and 0.0296). In addition, a significant difference was found between the scores of the two instruments according to the socio-economic variables (p < 0.05) and presence of teeth with carious lesions (p < 0.05).
The general and oral health-related quality of life instruments AUQUEI and CPQ(11-14) were both found to be useful, and significant influence of socio-economic and clinical variables were detected with both instruments.
本研究的目的是评估儿童生活质量自我问卷形象版(AUQUEI)和儿童感知问卷(CPQ(11 - 14))在学龄儿童各领域之间的收敛效度,并评估与其得分相关的社会经济和临床变量之间的差异。
在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州茹伊斯迪福拉市进行了一项分析性横断面研究,采用随机多阶段抽样设计从22所公立和私立学校选取了515名12岁的学龄儿童。对他们进行了龋齿经验(DMFT和dmft指数)和正畸治疗需求(DAI指数)的临床检查,并要求他们完成巴西版的儿童感知问卷(CPQ(11 - 14))和儿童生活质量自我问卷形象版(AUQUEI)。此外,向他们的父母发送了一份问卷,询问他们的社会经济状况和家庭特征。通过斯皮尔曼相关系数分析巴西版CPQ(11 - 14)和AUQUEI工具的收敛效度。为了比较每个问卷在学龄儿童社会环境和临床方面的汇总得分,使用了显著性水平为5%的非参数曼 - 惠特尼检验。
平均DMFT指数为1.09,125名(24.3%)儿童有正畸治疗需求(DAI≥31)。CPQ(11 - 14)和AUQUEI各领域得分之间存在相似性和弱相关性(r在 - 0.006至0.0296之间)。此外,根据社会经济变量(p < 0.05)和有龋损牙齿的情况(p < 0.05),发现两种工具的得分存在显著差异。
发现与总体和口腔健康相关的生活质量工具AUQUEI和CPQ(11 - 14)都很有用,并且两种工具都检测到了社会经济和临床变量的显著影响。
