Abstract

Objective: Due to the consideration that oral/dental health is an important part of general health, well-being, and an individual's quality of life, the need for appropriate instruments assessing oral health-related quality of life is emphasized. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Oral health-related quality of life questionnaire consisting of 14 questions among the Macedonian language-speaking adults (OHIP-MAC 14).

Material and methods: A total of 270 adults participated in the study. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined by testing the internal consistency and reproducibility (test-retest). The responsiveness of the instrument was tested by computing the pre-intervention and post-intervention OHIP-14 scores using the paired t-test followed by the determination of the effect-size. The two aspects of the construct validity were evaluated: concurrent validity and discriminative validity.

Results: A concurrent validity analysis confirmed that the instrument performed well. Discriminative validity also confirmed good psychometric properties (P<0.01). The ICC statistics and the Cronbach alpha coefficients indicated the appropriate reliability of the instrument for the included groups of participants. The responsiveness of the questionnaire was also acceptable (P<0.01) demonstrating the large effect-size of 1.43.

Conclusion: The OHIP 14 MAC showed acceptable psychometric properties and can be recommended as a valuable instrument in assessments of the Oral health-related quality of life in the Republic of North Macedonia.

马其顿语翻译的14项口腔健康影响问卷的心理测量特性

目的:考虑到口腔/牙齿健康是整体健康、福祉和个人生活质量的重要组成部分，强调需要适当的工具来评估口腔健康相关的生活质量。本研究旨在评估马其顿语成年人口腔健康相关生活质量问卷(OHIP-MAC 14)的心理测量特性，问卷包含14个问题。材料和方法:共有270名成年人参与了这项研究。问卷的信度采用内部一致性检验和重复性检验(test-retest)。通过配对t检验计算干预前和干预后OHIP-14评分，然后确定效应量，对仪器的反应性进行检验。评估了构念效度的并发效度和判别效度。结果:并发效度分析证实该仪器性能良好。判别效度也证实了良好的心理测量特性(结论:OHIP 14 MAC显示出可接受的心理测量特性，可以推荐作为评估北马其顿共和国口腔健康相关生活质量的有价值的工具。
