Objectives: To develop and to evaluate a questionnaire of self-perception and self-care habits on oral health on a first level population. Methods: A descriptive� observational stud� �as perfor�ed to validate a questionnaire on oral health self-percep-: A descriptive� observational stud� �as perfor�ed to validate a questionnaire on oral health self-percep-A descriptive� observational stud� �as perfor�ed to validate a questionnaire on oral health self-perception (UISESS-B). After non-probabilistic sa�pling� 94 users� 30-59 �ears of age� �ith either diabetes �ellitus 2� hypertension or obesity were included. Duration of disease was lesser than 10 years. Pearson's r, Cornbach's α, factorial anal�sis� chi-square and Snedecor's F tests �ere e�plo�ed. Results� � Pearson's r of 0.� and Cronbach's α of 0.�� was observed on the pre�post values of the �lobal �uestion� � � Pearson's r of 0.� and Cronbach's α of 0.�� was observed on the pre�post values of the �lobal �uestion� � Pearson's r of 0.� and Cronbach's α of 0.�� was observed on the pre�post values of the �lobal �uestion-naire. In the factorial analysis, the variance explained more than 60% for a first factor. � punctuation of very hi�h risk for the three groups �ith the scale UISESSS-B that coincides �ith the index CPO-D and the index UISESS-F �as observed. Conclusions: The UISESS�B scale shows si�nificant validity and reliability, su��estin� its use as a sensitive ins� tru�ent for the �easure�ent of oral health in people �ith chronic illnesses such as diabetes� h�pertension and obesit�.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
