Abstract

Aims: Identifying ageism among dental students is essential in gerodontology courses. This study aimed to perform a preliminary validation of a Malay version of the ageism scale for dental students (ASDS-My).

Methods and results: The 27-item ASDS were translated into Malay language and completed by 168 dental students. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with Promax rotation, Polychoric Correlation Matrix and Principal Axis Factoring was conducted. Internal consistency reliability and discriminative validity were analysed. Criterion validity was measured by comparing ASDS-My with Fraboni Scale of Ageism (FSA). A Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin of 0.612 and a Bartlett's Test of Sphericity yielding p < .001 confirmed the adequate factorability. EFA revealed a 15-items scale distributed into five-factors explaining 54.5% of overall variance, with acceptable reliability. The two factors involved cost-benefit of dental treatment on older patients and challenges during medical history taking. The third, fourth and fifth factors explained attitude towards older patients, negative views of older patients and exposure of dental students to Gerodontology training and experiences respectively. Most factors were significantly positively related to FSA. Discriminative validity revealed significant differences for gender, place of stay and year of study.

Conclusion: Preliminary validation of the ASDS-My produced a five-factors 15-items scale with acceptable validity and reliability.

将牙科学生年龄歧视量表翻译成马来语并进行验证。

目的：在老年口腔医学课程中，识别牙科学生中的年龄歧视现象至关重要。本研究旨在对马来语版的牙科学生年龄歧视量表（ASDS-My）进行初步验证：27个项目的ASDS被翻译成马来语，由168名牙科学生完成。采用 Promax 旋转、多轴相关矩阵和主轴因子法进行了探索性因子分析（EFA）。对内部一致性可靠性和区分有效性进行了分析。通过比较 ASDS-My 与 Fraboni 老龄化量表（FSA），测量了标准效度。Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin值为0.612，Bartlett's Sphericity Test得出p 结论：通过对 ASDS-My 的初步验证，得出了一个具有五个因素、15 个项目的量表，其有效性和可靠性均可接受。
