Validity and reliability of the Arabic short version of the child oral health-related quality of life questionnaire [CPQ 11–14] in Medina, Saudi Arabia

Abstract

The Arabic version of the Child Perception Questionnaire for assessing oral health-related quality of life in 11-14 year olds has been previously validated. This study tested the validity and reliability of the short version of the Arabic CPQ 11-14 in the general population of Medina, Saudi Arabia. A total of 268 schoolchildren completed the questionnaire and were examined to determine the prevalence of caries and malocclusion. The mean total score was 8.53 (SD 8.18), and 7% of children scored zero. There was a significant association between malocclusion and oral symptoms and between DMFT score and functional limitations. The test-retest reliability (0.78) and Cronbach alpha (0.82) were excellent. The construct validity was acceptable for oral health (ρ = 0.37) and overall well-being (ρ = 0.40). The Arabic version of the short form CPQ 11-14 was reliable and valid for this general population of children. RÉSUMÉ La version en langue arabe du Child Perception Questionnaire visant à évaluer la qualité de vie liée à la santé bucco-dentaire chez l'enfant de 11 à 14 ans (CPQ 11-14) a déjà été validée. La présente étude a testé la validité et la fiabilité de la version abrégée du questionnaire CPQ 11-14 en langue arabe auprès de la population générale de Médine (Arabie saoudite). Au total, 268 écoliers ont rempli le questionnaire puis ont été examinés pour déterminer la prévalence des caries et des malocclusions. Le score total moyen était de 8,53 (ET 8,18), et 7 % des enfants ont obtenu un score de zéro. Il existait une forte association entre la malocclusion et les symptômes buccaux ainsi qu'entre le score pour l'indice des dents cariées, absentes ou obturées (ou CAO) et les limites fonctionnelles. La fiabilité d'un test-retest (0,78) et le coefficient alpha de Cronbach (0,82) étaient excellents. La validité du construit était acceptable pour la santé bucco-dentaire (ρ = 0,37) et pour le bien-être général (ρ = 0,40). La version abrégée du questionnaire CPQ 11-14 en langue arabe est fiable et valable pour cette population générale d'enfants. ‫األطفــال‬ ‫لــدى‬ ‫الفــم‬

Impact of treated and untreated traumatic dental injuries on oral health‐related quality of life among 12‐year‐old schoolchildren in Amman

“…It was tested for cross-sectional validity and reliability, and compared with the original instrument in terms of measurement of sensitivity and discriminative properties by Jokovic et al 25 It was translated into Arabic and validated. 26 The CPQ [11][12][13][14] is part of the Child Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, which is a set of questionnaires that aim to measure the impact of oral health abnormalities on the OHRQoL of children. The CPQ 11-14 -RSF: 16 is composed of 16 items distributed among four subscales: oral symptoms, functional limitations, emotional well-being and social well-being.…”

Impact of malocclusion on oral health related quality of life of 11-14-year-old children

“…Data were collected using questionnaires and clinical examination. The questionnaire collected the background information of the parents and the CPQ [11][12][13][14] . CPQ [11][12][13][14] consists of 16 closed-ended questions that are divided into 4 domains of 4 questions each: oral symptoms; functional limitations; emotional well-being and social well-being.…”

“…Each questions was scores as: 0-never, 1-once\twice, 2-sometimes, 3-often and 4-every day\almost every day. Each domain was added separately to give a mean total CPQ [11][12][13][14] score.The scores ranged from 0 to 64, with lower scores representing a better quality of life. In addition, global rating of oral health was assessed using two specific questions: 1) rate the quality of their oral health (scored as:…”

“…Data were entered and cleaned using SPSS version 22 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows; SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to assess 6 differences between domain and total CPQ [11][12][13][14] scores with the co-variates (socio-demographic variables and DAI categories) . Post hoc comparisons between pairs of malocclusion groups were conducted using Bonferroni test.…”

“…[9] The long version of the CPQ11-14 has been cross-culturally validated among Saudi children. [4,10] Bhayat et al [11] validated the short Arabic version of CPQ 11 − 14 .…”
