Abstract

AIMS

The study aimed to adapt the original English-language oral health values scale (OHVS) to the Arabic culture and to test its psychometric properties.

METHODS

The original OHVS was translated into Arabic language and pre-tested using cognitive interviewing. The psychometric properties of Arabic OHVS were examined in a sample comprising 416 Libyan adults aged 18-70 years, recruited from the main public and private dental clinics in Benghazi. The participants' demographic information, oral health behaviour, perceived oral health, the Arabic version of the OHVS (A-OHVS), dental neglect scale, oral health-related quality of life, oral health literacy, simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), and decayed, missing, and filled teeth index (DMFT) were collected. Psychometric properties were tested using content validity, construct validity, discriminating validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and floor as well as ceiling effects were examined.

RESULTS

The Arabic OHVS was successfully and smoothly developed. It showed an acceptable level of equivalence to the original version, The A-OHVS presented an overall Cronbach's Alpha of 0.74 and the average score was 40.02, ranging between 26 and 54. All hypotheses predefined to test construct validity were confirmed. The bivariate correlation between A-OHVS and other health indicators shows a significant positive correlation between A-OHVS and oral health literacy (p = 0.000). On the other hand, statistically significant negative correlations were observed between A-OHVS and dental neglect and quality of life (p ≤ 0.001) as well as DMFT and OHI-S (p ≤ 0.001). Floor or ceiling effects were not observed.

CONCLUSIONS

The A-OHVS was shown to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing oral health values in the Arabic-speaking population.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在将原始的英文版口腔健康价值观量表（OHVS）适用于阿拉伯文化，并测试其心理测量特性。

方法

将原始 OHVS 翻译成阿拉伯语，并通过认知访谈进行预测试。在贝尼纳吉布的主要公立和私立牙科诊所招募的 416 名年龄在 18-70 岁的利比亚成年人样本中，检验了阿拉伯语 OHVS 的心理测量特性。收集了参与者的人口统计学信息、口腔健康行为、感知口腔健康、阿拉伯语版 OHVS（A-OHVS）、口腔忽视量表、口腔健康相关生活质量、口腔健康素养、简化口腔卫生指数（OHI-S）和龋齿、缺失和补牙指数（DMFT）。使用内容有效性、结构有效性、区分有效性、内部一致性、测试-重测可靠性以及地板和天花板效应来测试心理测量特性。

结果

阿拉伯语 OHVS 成功且顺利开发。它与原始版本具有可接受的等效性，A-OHVS 的总体 Cronbach's Alpha 为 0.74，平均得分为 40.02，范围在 26 到 54 之间。所有预先设定用于测试结构有效性的假设都得到了证实。A-OHVS 与其他健康指标的双变量相关性显示，A-OHVS 与口腔健康素养呈显著正相关（p = 0.000）。另一方面，A-OHVS 与口腔忽视和生活质量（p ≤ 0.001）以及 DMFT 和 OHI-S（p ≤ 0.001）呈显著负相关。未观察到地板或天花板效应。
