The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) is a valid tool aiming to evaluate the self-reported influence of dental aesthetics on quality of life. This questionnaire was developed in English for young adults, and later translated and validated with an Italian population. A new version of the questionnaire was recently introduced to be used in adolescents (11-17 years- old), but it had not been translated in Italian yet. Hence, the purpose of this study was to translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate the PIDAQ for adolescents, for its use among Italian subjects.
To develop the Italian PIDAQ, the original version was translated, back-translated, cross-culturally adapted and pre-tested. Afterwards, the Italian PIDAQ was administered to a convenience sample of 677 subjects, aged 11-17 years, together with two other written questionnaires: the Aesthetic Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN-AC) and the Perception of Occlusion Scale (POS), which are instruments dedicated to assess the self-reported degree of malocclusion. A one-way ANOVA was performed to assess the difference between groups, within each PIDAQ factor, according to POS and IOTN-AC scores. The correlation between PIDAQ factors and POS/IOTN-AC scores was measured as Spearman's rank correlation. The internal consistency was assessed as Cronbach's alpha coef?cient (α), and the test-retest reproducibility as Intra-Class Correlation Coef?cient (ICC).
The one-way ANOVA showed that all the factors of the self- reported impact of dental aesthetics on quality of life significantly increased as the degree of malocclusion worsened (P<0.001). Furthermore, all the factors showed statistically significant correlations with both IOTN-AC and POS scores. The α ranged between 0.79 and 0.90, and the ICC ranged between 0.93-0.97.
The Italian adolescent PIDAQ showed good reliability and validity. The psychometric properties of this version of the questionnaire support its use for the assessment of the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics among Italian adolescents.
《牙科美学影响问卷》(PIDAQ)是一种旨在评估牙科美学对生活质量的自我报告影响的有效工具。该问卷最初是为年轻人开发的英语问卷,后来经过翻译和验证,在意大利人群中使用。最近,该问卷的一个新版本被引入,用于评估 11-17 岁的青少年,但尚未被翻译成意大利语。因此,本研究的目的是翻译、跨文化适应并验证 PIDAQ 用于意大利青少年,以便在意大利人群中使用。
为了开发意大利语 PIDAQ,对原始问卷进行了翻译、回译、跨文化适应和预测试。然后,对 677 名 11-17 岁的便利样本进行了意大利语 PIDAQ 测试,同时还进行了另外两个书面问卷:《正畸治疗需求指数美学成分》(IOTN-AC)和《错颌感知量表》(POS),这两个量表专门用于评估自我报告的错颌程度。对每个 PIDAQ 因子,根据 POS 和 IOTN-AC 评分,进行单因素方差分析,以评估组间差异。用 Spearman 等级相关系数测量 PIDAQ 因子与 POS/IOTN-AC 评分之间的相关性。用 Cronbach's alpha 系数(α)评估内部一致性,用组内相关系数(ICC)评估测试-重测可重复性。
单因素方差分析显示,所有反映牙科美学对生活质量的自我报告影响的因子,随着错颌程度的恶化而显著增加(P<0.001)。此外,所有因子与 IOTN-AC 和 POS 评分均呈统计学显著相关。α值在 0.79-0.90 之间,ICC 值在 0.93-0.97 之间。
意大利青少年 PIDAQ 具有良好的信度和效度。该问卷的心理测量学特性支持其在评估意大利青少年牙科美学的心理社会影响方面的应用。
