Abstract

Background and objective: Ageism represents an important barrier to high-quality healthcare for older adults. The present study sought to translate and validate the Arabic version of the Ageism Scale for Dental Students (ASDS-Arabic).

Materials and methods: The 27-item ASDS tool was translated from English into Arabic following recommended cross-sectional forward and backward translation guidelines. The translated version was subjected to the content validity ratio (CVR) and sent to dental students in 21 institutes from 10 different Arab countries. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to assess the dimensionality of the scale, and Cronbach's alpha was used to determine internal consistency reliability. The discriminant validity of the scale was assessed using the independent t-test. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was also undertaken.

Results: Based on CVR, three items were removed. The 24-item Arabic version was completed by 3284 dental students. PCA and CFA retained 17 items in six components, explaining 50.3% of the total variance, with acceptable reliability, validity and discrimination. The first component "Adherence of older patients with dental treatment and instructions," included four items with a Cronbach α of 0.64 and scored 4.3 ± 0.8. The second component "Feasibility of the treatment plan," included three items with a Cronbach α of 0.66 and scored from 2.6 ± 1.2 to 2.9 ± 1.1. The third component "Cost of and responsibility for the dental treatment" included four items with a Cronbach α of 0.47 and scored 4.4 ± 0.8 to 4.5 ± 0.8. The fourth component "Medical history of older patients" included two items with a Cronbach α of 0.70 and scored 4.0 ± 1.0 to 4.1 ± 1.0. The fifth Component "Feeling towards older patients" included two items with a Cronbach α of 0.672 and scored 2.6 ± 1.2 to 2.0 ± 1.4. The sixth Component "Confidence and experience in treating older patients" included two items with a Cronbach α of 0.33 and scored 4.4 ± 1 to 4.6 ± 1.

Conclusion: This preliminary validation of the ASDS-Ar resulted in a new 17-item scale with six components with acceptable validity, reliability and discrimination.

阿拉伯语版牙科学生年龄歧视量表（ASDS-Ar）的翻译和心理测量特性：多机构验证。

背景和目的：老年歧视是阻碍老年人获得高质量医疗服务的一个重要因素。本研究旨在翻译并验证阿拉伯语版的牙科学生年龄歧视量表（ASDS-Arabic）：按照推荐的横向正向和反向翻译指南，将 27 个项目的 ASDS 工具从英语翻译成阿拉伯语。翻译后的版本进行了内容效度比（CVR），并发给了来自 10 个阿拉伯国家 21 所院校的牙科学生。主成分分析（PCA）用于评估量表的维度，Cronbach's alpha 用于确定内部一致性可靠性。量表的判别效度采用独立 t 检验进行评估。此外，还进行了确认性因子分析（CFA）：根据 CVR，删除了三个项目。有 3284 名牙科学生完成了 24 个项目的阿拉伯语版本。PCA 和 CFA 保留了 17 个项目，分为六个部分，解释了总方差的 50.3%，信度、效度和区分度均可接受。第一个成分 "老年患者对牙科治疗和指导的依从性 "包括 4 个项目，Cronbach α 为 0.64，得分为 4.3 ± 0.8。第二部分 "治疗计划的可行性 "包括三个项目，Cronbach α 为 0.66，得分范围为 2.6 ± 1.2 到 2.9 ± 1.1。第三部分 "牙科治疗的费用和责任 "包括四个项目，Cronbach α 为 0.47，得分在 4.4 ± 0.8 到 4.5 ± 0.8 之间。第四部分 "老年患者的病史 "包括两个项目，Cronbach α 为 0.70，得分为 4.0 ± 1.0 至 4.1 ± 1.0。第五个成分 "对老年患者的感觉 "包括两个项目，Cronbach α 为 0.672，得分为 2.6 ± 1.2 至 2.0 ± 1.4。第六部分 "治疗老年患者的信心和经验 "包括两个项目，Cronbach α 为 0.33，得分为 4.4 ± 1 至 4.6 ± 1.结论：通过对 ASDS-Ar 的初步验证，新量表共有 17 个项目，包含 6 个组成部分，其效度、信度和区分度均可接受。

期刊介绍： The ultimate aim of Gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. In addition, management of other health problems impacts on dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who are seeking to read and to publish papers across a broad spectrum of specialties. This journal provides the juxtaposition of papers from traditional specialties but which share this patient-centred interest, providing a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.
