ABSTRACT
Background/Objectives:
To better understand the impact of different oral conditions on children, several instruments are available to measure oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). To adapt and validate cross-culturally the Child Oral Health Impact Profile-Short Form 19 (COHIP-SF19) questionnaire to the Portuguese language.Methods:
The COHIP SF-19 was translated and back-translated, and tested for its reliability and for psychometric properties in children who were aged between 8 and 17 years old. The COHIP-19-PT was tested for its internal consistency, construct validity, content validity, and test-retest reliability.Results:
The COHIP-19-PT revealed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.88) and test-retest reliability (interclass correlation = 0.78). The CFA analysis confirmed the structure of COHIP-19-PT. The first-order model showed an adequate fit GFI = 0.878; CFI = 0.812; RMSEA = 0.083 (90% CI 0.077-0.090). No invariance was found for the gender-based groups. The correlation between the sub-scales was also assessed, confirming significant correlations between all subdomains.Conclusions:
The COHIP-19-PT is a valid and reliable scale for measuring children's oral health-related quality of life.
