Percepção da fluorose dentária e avaliação da concordância entre pais e filhos: validação de um instrumento

Abstract

This study aimed to validate the Child's and Parent's Questionnaire about Teeth Appearance and to evaluate concerns relative to fluorosis among 213 pairs of parents and 12-year-old children from two regions of Brazil. Reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient, and construct and criterion validity by Spearman's correlations. Student t-test was used to compare the two regions and to assess parent/child agreement. Internal consistency was acceptable, and test-retest reliability was moderate to excellent. Perception of moderate to severe fluorosis and clinical data were significantly correlated, as were perception of fluorosis and subjects' concerns. Although parents from Rafael Arruda, Ceará State, showed a higher perception of fluorosis, parental concern was greater in Piracicaba, São Paulo State. Parents were more worried and dissatisfied with their children's dental appearance than the children themselves. This version of the questionnaire proved to be valid and reliable for assessing children's and parents' perceptions of dental fluorosis.

Agreement between parents and adolescents on dental fluorosis: a population-based study

“…The first three items investigate how the child has felt over the past two months and whether he or she has felt uncomfortable, concerned or has been prevented from smiling because of the appearance of his or her teeth, according to the views of his or her parents/guardians and himself or herself. 12 To compare fluorosis in the opinions of the parents and adolescents, the chi-squared test of linear trends was performed. To analyze the degree of agreement between the adolescents and their parents or guardians, the weighted kappa was used for ordinal categorical variables, and the unweighted kappa coefficient was used for dichotomous variables.…”

“…Recently, an instrument for this purpose was validated in Brazil. 12 Thus, it is important to assess this correlation because parents play important roles in the health of their teenagers.…”

Qualidade de vida e percepção estética da cárie dentária

“…A primeira etapa foi realizada utilizando informações fornecidas pelas escolas incluídas no estudo, na qual se enviou aos responsáveis a autorização para participar da pesquisa e o questionário para coletar as variáveis socioeconômicas através de perguntas semi-estruturadas baseadas na Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra por Domicilio (PNAD) (9) . Na segunda etapa, após a autorização dos responsáveis, aplicaram-se os questionários "Child Perceptions Questionnaire" (CPQ), na versão longa de 29 questões para crianças de 8 a 10 anos (8) , e o Child Perceptions Questionnaire About Teeth Appearance (CQATA), com 5 questões divididas em 12 subitens (8), validados na língua portuguesa (9) .…”

“…Percepção quanto aspectos de saúde e estética dos dentes Também na reavaliação de 6 meses, os responsáveis responderam um questionário validado com perguntas voltadas à percepção da estética e saúde bucal (Apêndice I) (61). As respostas eram dadas na forma de uma escala Likert de 5 pontos, sendo a primeira condição aquela com menor impacto negativo e a última com maior, tanto para a cor, como para a condição de saúde dos dentes das crianças.…”
