Abstract

Objective: To develop and evaluate an Arabic version of the OBC-21 questionnaire for use among Levantine Arabic-speaking populations.

Methods: A structured translation and cultural adaptation process was performed for the OBC-21, followed by assessment of translational sufficiency and content validity. Reliability was tested with internal consistency, and test-retest reliability was evaluated.

Results: All 117 participants completed the survey twice, two weeks apart. The test-retest reliability of the OBC sum scores was excellent, with an ICC of 0.84 (95% CI = [0.77; 0.88]), and the reliability of OBC grades was very good, with a Cohen's Kappa of 0.81. Internal consistency was also very good, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.8 (95% CI = [0.75; 0.8]).

Conclusion: The Arabic version of the OBC-21 seems to be a reliable tool for assessing oral behaviors. Future studies need to establish the construct validity of the tool in the clinical settings.

OBC-21阿拉伯语版本的翻译和文化改编。

目的：开发和评估阿拉伯语版的OBC-21问卷，供黎凡特阿拉伯语人群使用。方法：对OBC-21进行结构化的翻译和文化适应过程，然后对翻译充分性和内容效度进行评估。采用内部一致性检验信度，并进行重测信度评估。结果：所有117名参与者完成了两次调查，间隔两周。OBC总分的重测信度非常好，ICC为0.84 (95% CI = [0.77; 0.88])， OBC评分的信度非常好，Cohen’s Kappa为0.81。内部一致性也很好，Cronbach's alpha为0.8 （95% CI =[0.75; 0.8]）。结论：阿拉伯语版本的OBC-21似乎是评估口腔行为的可靠工具。未来的研究需要在临床环境中建立工具的结构效度。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
