In orthognathic surgery, understanding the patient's motives for treatment is a key factor for postoperative patient satisfaction and treatment success. In countries/systems where orthognathic surgery is funded by public means, patients are referred mainly due to functional problems, although studies of quality of life related changes after treatment indicate that psychosocial and aesthetic reasons might be equal or more important for the patient. There is no available validated condition specific instruments in the Swedish language for quality of life evaluation of patients with dentofacial deformities. Cross cultural translation and adaptation of the English-language instrument 'Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire' (OQLQ) into Swedish. OQLQ was translated into Swedish. A total of 121 patients in four groups were recruited and the Swedish version of the OQLQ (OQLQ-S) was tested by psychometric methods. Reliability was assessed by internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Validity was evaluated by face, convergent and discriminant validity. : OQLQ-S is reliable and showed good construct validity and internal consistency and can be used in a Swedish speaking population as a complement to clinical variables to evaluate patients with dentofacial deformity.
在正颌外科中，了解患者治疗的动机是术后患者满意度和治疗成功的关键因素。在由公共资金资助正颌手术的国家/系统中，患者主要是由于功能问题而被转介，尽管有关治疗后生活质量相关变化的研究表明，心理社会和美学原因对患者可能同等重要或更重要。目前，瑞典语中没有针对牙颌面畸形患者的特定于病情的生活质量评估的经过验证的工具。对英文仪器“正颌治疗生活质量问卷”（OQLQ）进行跨文化翻译和改编。将 OQLQ 翻译成瑞典语。共招募了四个组的 121 名患者，并通过心理测量学方法对瑞典语版的 OQLQ（OQLQ-S）进行了测试。通过内部一致性和重测信度评估可靠性。通过表面、收敛和判别有效性评估有效性。OQLQ-S 是可靠的，具有良好的结构有效性和内部一致性，可以在讲瑞典语的人群中使用，作为临床变量的补充，以评估牙颌面畸形患者。
