Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a culturally adapted Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults.

Method: The short-form PIDAQ was culturally adapted and administered to 187 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults. Network psychometric analyses examined dimensionality, item redundancy, network loadings, and model fit. Additionally, internal consistency (McDonald's Ω), construct validity, and criterion validity were also measured.

Results: Two statistically redundant but conceptually distinct item pairs (Look/Nice and Proud/Show) were retained on cultural and content-validity grounds. The "Worry" item was removed for a low network loading (0.169), yielding a final seven-item PIDAQ. Model fit was good (χ2(4) = 6.26, p < 0.180; CFI = 1.000; RMSEA = 0.059, 90% CI: 0.000-0.140). Internal consistency was excellent (Ω=0.94), inter-item correlations were moderate to adequate (ρ= 0.520-0.790), and the correlation with the SEWB scale provided directionally consistent support for criterion validity (ρ=0.320). Participants reported mixed feelings about dental aesthetics, often not minding showing their teeth in photographs yet being dissatisfied with how their teeth look.

Conclusions: The PIDAQ demonstrated strong psychometric properties, making it a valid, reliable tool for assessing the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics.

澳洲原住民与托雷斯海峡岛民牙齿美学问卷心理社会影响的开发与心理计量学验证。

目的：本研究的目的是为原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民的成年人开发和验证一个文化适应的牙科美学心理社会影响问卷（PIDAQ）。方法：对187名原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民进行文化适应性短格式PIDAQ测试。网络心理测量分析检验了维度、项目冗余、网络负荷和模型拟合。此外，还测量了内部一致性（McDonald's Ω）、结构效度和标准效度。结果：两个统计上冗余但概念上不同的项目对（Look/Nice和Proud/Show）在文化和内容效度的基础上被保留。由于网络负载较低（0.169），“担心”项被删除，得到最终的7项PIDAQ。模型拟合良好(χ2(4) = 6.26, p < 0.180；Cfi = 1.000；Rmsea = 0.059, 90% ci: 0.000-0.140)。内部一致性极好（Ω=0.94），项目间相关性中等至充分（ρ= 0.520-0.790），与SEWB量表的相关性为标准效度提供了方向上一致的支持（ρ=0.320）。参与者报告了他们对牙齿美学的复杂感受，他们通常不介意在照片中展示自己的牙齿，但对自己的牙齿外观不满意。结论：PIDAQ显示出强大的心理测量特性，使其成为评估牙科美学心理社会影响的有效、可靠的工具。

期刊介绍： Australian Journal of Psychology is the premier scientific journal of the Australian Psychological Society. It covers the entire spectrum of psychological research and receives articles on all topics within the broad scope of the discipline. The journal publishes high quality peer-reviewed articles with reviewers and associate editors providing detailed assistance to authors to reach publication. The journal publishes reports of experimental and survey studies, including reports of qualitative investigations, on pure and applied topics in the field of psychology. Articles on clinical psychology or on the professional concerns of applied psychology should be submitted to our sister journals, Australian Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist. The journal publishes occasional reviews of specific topics, theoretical pieces and commentaries on methodological issues. There are also solicited book reviews and comments Annual special issues devoted to a single topic, and guest edited by a specialist editor, are published. The journal regards itself as international in vision and will accept submissions from psychologists in all countries.
