Self-efficacy is an important factor in the management of chronic oral diseases. This study aimed to develop a Korean version of a self-efficacy tool related to personal oral hygiene management, and verify its validity and reliability.
This study evaluated the validity and reliability of a Korean version of the oral health-related self-efficacy measurement tool (OHSE-K). The sub-factors of this self-efficacy tool are tooth brushing, interdental hygiene management, and dental visits. The original items were translated into Korean, and their content validity was confirmed. Initially, a preliminary survey was conducted, followed by the main survey. The main survey comprised 19 content-verified items. The validity and reliability of the main survey were evaluated through repeated exploratory factor analyses. A randomly selected sample of Korean adults, aged 19 years or older, completed the OHSE-K online between May 10 and June 2, 2023. The study recruited 400 adults for the preliminary survey. Data were analyzed using PASW 25.0.
The OHSE-K demonstrated a high level of overall reliability (Cronbach's α=0.891). Exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 significant factors: tooth-brushing self-efficacy, interdental hygiene management self-efficacy, and dental visit self-efficacy, with a cumulative explanation rate of 65.114%. The criterion validity results indicated that oral healthcare awareness and behavior, as well as unmet dental treatment needs, were significant (<0.05). Additionally, the OHSE-K scores showed significant correlations with all 3 sub-factors (<0.05).
The OHSE-K is a reliable tool. Our results demonstrated its validity and reliability.
自我效能感是慢性口腔疾病管理中的一个重要因素。本研究旨在开发一个与个人口腔卫生管理相关的自我效能工具的韩语版本，并验证其有效性和可靠性。
本研究评估了韩语版口腔健康相关自我效能测量工具（OHSE-K）的有效性和可靠性。该自我效能工具的子因素包括刷牙、牙间隙卫生管理和看牙医。原始项目被翻译成韩语，并确认了其内容效度。最初进行了预调查，然后进行了主调查。主调查包括19个经内容验证的项目。通过重复探索性因素分析评估主调查的有效性和可靠性。随机抽取的19岁及以上韩国成年人样本于2023年5月10日至6月2日在线完成了OHSE-K。该研究招募了400名成年人进行预调查。使用PASW 25.0分析数据。
OHSE-K显示出较高的总体可靠性（Cronbach's α=0.891）。探索性因素分析揭示了3个显著因素：刷牙自我效能感、牙间隙卫生管理自我效能感和看牙医自我效能感，累积解释率为65.114%。效标效度结果表明，口腔保健意识和行为以及未满足的牙科治疗需求具有显著性（<0.05）。此外，OHSE-K得分与所有3个子因素均显示出显著相关性（<0.05）。
OHSE-K是一个可靠的工具。我们的结果证明了其有效性和可靠性。
