This study aimed to develop Turkish measures for Pediatric Oral Health-related Quality of Life (POQL) and evaluate their reliability and validity for use in Turkish children aged 8-14 years (Child Self-Report measure; CSR) and their caregivers (Parent Report-on-Child measure; PRC).
The English POQL was translated into Turkish, adapted for the Turkish culture, and tested in 149 children and their caregivers attending the Çukurova University Pediatric Dentistry clinics to assess the reliability, internal consistency, and discriminant and convergent validity of the Turkish version.
The internal consistency of the Turkish POQL evaluated using Cronbach's alpha was 0.905 for CSR and 0.887 for PRC. To determine the test-retest reliability, the Turkish POQL was administered to a sub-sample (n=16) a second time 2 weeks after the first survey administration. Intraclass correlation coefficient values of the individual items were 0.895 for CSR and 0.992 for PRC. For total scores, there was a significant difference based on clinical caries status and perceived oral health in both CSR and PRC.
The Turkish POQL is a valid and reliable measure of the perceived impact of oral conditions on children's lives.
本研究旨在开发土耳其语版的儿童口腔健康相关生活质量（POQL）测量工具，并评估其在8至14岁土耳其儿童（儿童自评量表；CSR）及其照顾者（家长对儿童的报告量表；PRC）中的信度和效度。
将英文版的POQL翻译成土耳其语，根据土耳其文化进行调整，并在参加Çukurova大学儿童牙科诊所的149名儿童及其照顾者中进行测试，以评估土耳其语版的信度、内部一致性、区分效度和聚合效度。
使用Cronbach's alpha评估的土耳其语版POQL的内部一致性，CSR为0.905，PRC为0.887。为了确定重测信度，在首次调查给药2周后，对一个子样本（n = 16）再次进行土耳其语版POQL测试。个体项目的组内相关系数值，CSR为0.895，PRC为0.992。对于总分，CSR和PRC中基于临床龋病状况和感知口腔健康均存在显著差异。
土耳其语版POQL是衡量口腔状况对儿童生活感知影响的有效且可靠的工具。
