Translation and validation of the Turkish version of the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire

Abstract

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to translate the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) into Turkish, validate the questionnaire, and provide a cross-cultural adaptation.MethodsThe translation process included the following steps, which were performed by a translation committee: (1) translation into Turkish, (2) back translation into English, (3) pretesting, and (4) cross-cultural adaptation. The Turkish version of the PIDAQ was produced subsequent to the translation process. Validity and reliability were measured using the Perception of Occlusion Scale and the aesthetic component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need. The questionnaire was administered to 260 individuals (age range, 18–30 years; mean age, 20.50 ± 1.9 years). Structural validity was assessed via factor analysis, and internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.ResultsFactor analysis revealed a four-factor structure, with factor loadings for included items ranging from 0.380 to 0.868. Few questions were shuffled among domains various factor loadings. Cronbach's alphas for the Turkish version of the PIDAQ ranged from 0.534 to 0.904. Mean scores for the PIDAQ subscale and total scores differed significantly according to Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need and Perception of Occlusion Scale scores.ConclusionsThis study provided a Turkish version of the PIDAQ, which could be a useful tool in the evaluation of the psychosocial impact of malocclusion in young Turkish adults.

Translation and validation of the Swedish version of the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) for adolescents

“…The original version of PIDAQ has 23 items subdivided into four subscales: Dental Self-Confidence (6 items, questions 1-6), Social Impact (8 items, questions 7-14), Psychological Impact (6 items, questions [15][16][17][18][19][20], and Aesthetic Concern (3 items, questions 21-23). A five-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 4 is provided.…”

“…PIDAQ has been translated into several languages and validated for use on adult populations [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The original adult version of PIDAQ has also been translated and validated on children and adolescents [22][23][24][25][26].…”

Development and validation of a new condition‐specific instrument for evaluation of smile esthetics‐related quality of life

“…The QoL is a complex concept, and the same instruments can have differently grouped items for various cultural surroundings, and a multidimensional structure can be reduced when explored on a large international sample . Therefore, the new characterization of psychosocial dimensions emerged, such as Aesthetic Attitude or Orofacial Appearance . Recently, efforts have been made into the process of integration of existing OHRQoL instruments in order to develop a simpler, yet psychometrically improved measurement …”

“…21 Therefore, the new characterization of psychosocial dimensions emerged, such as Aesthetic Attitude or Orofacial Appearance. [34][35][36][37] Recently, efforts have been made into the process of integration of existing OHRQoL instruments in order to develop a simpler, yet psychometrically improved measurement. 37 Present study included a relatively young population therefore only malocclusion and tooth color was taken into consideration since they basically have no or few prosthetic restorations that could raise psychosocial issues related to altered smile esthetics.…”

Adaptação transcultural do Oral Mucositis Quality of Life (OMQoL)

“…Além de estar ligada a ações rotineiras como sentir, falar, alimentar, a saúde bucal também está relacionada à aparência, ao envolvimento social e ao bemestar, por isso, quando a saúde bucal é afetada, o funcionamento físico, social e psicológico pode modificar e isso deve ser analisado. Essas análises têm sido realizadas por meio dos questionários de qualidade de vida que oferecem resultados sobre a concepção do paciente sobre seu bem estar relacionado a saúde bucal (18).…”
