“…A questionnaire with closed questions consisting of 14 items and divided into 3 domains was created (Table 1). For the answer options, the Likert scale 15,24 was used for Questions 1, 2, 7, 9, 10 and 11. For all other questions, the options involved the frequency of and/or procedures for infection control.…”

“…14,17,18 Reliability was determined using test-retest and internal consistency. 13,15,17,19,24,25,31,32 In this stage, the questionnaire was applied and reapplied to the 115 students at 2 different times, with a 1-week interval between them. 33,34 To determine intraevaluator reproducibility, the ordinal variables were analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a cut-off value .0.70, 17,18,21,31 and kappa was used for the yes/no questions with a cut-off value .0.60.…”

Objectives: To create and validate a questionnaire to evaluate infection control in oral radiology. Methods: The questionnaire was developed after review of the literature, which included published articles and the biosafety protocols available from healthcare agencies. The initial version of the questionnaire was composed of 14 multiple choice questions and was divided into 3 domains on handwashing, disinfection/protection of surfaces and disinfectant used. Content validity was assessed by two expert committees, which reviewed the content and scope of the questionnaire and the relevance of each item, respectively. Reliability was evaluated using test-retest and internal consistency methods with 115 undergraduate dentistry students. Construct validity was assessed using the known-groups technique and factor analysis. The known-groups technique involved 641 undergraduate dentistry students, 20 PhD students and 15 oral radiology professors. In the factor analysis, 3 radiology technicians also participated in addition to the 641 undergraduates, 20 PhD students and 15 oral radiology professors. Results: The content validity results were found to be satisfactory to excellent for the ordinal variables (intraclass correlation coefficient 5 0.722-1.000) and good to great for the yes/no questions (kappa 5 0.662-0.913) in terms of reliability and good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 5 0.88). After a factor analysis, some questions were excluded, and the questions were grouped into new domains. Significant differences were observed between answers from different groups. The final version of the questionnaire was composed of nine domains. Conclusions: The questionnaire created was found to exhibit good psychometric properties for assessing infection control in oral radiology.

“…The criterion for participation was a link with public service for at least two years. This step aimed to ascertain the degree of understanding in relation to the questions that were developed; it was the first step in providing evidence that measurements of individuals on different occasions produced the same or similar results (19,20). To verify the performance and reliability of the instrument, the test/retest method was employed.…”

“…In summary, the 46 items were evaluated using the following criteria: acceptability, internal consistency, temporal stability and inter-item correlation (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27). In addition to those criteria from CTT, we also evaluated this instrument by tetrachoric correlation.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument to assess comprehensiveness of care from dentists using a combination of classical test theory and item response theory. A 46-item instrument was developed and tested by a panel of experts, followed by a pilot test and administration to 187 primary care dentists in a large Brazilian city. The 46 items were evaluated using the following criteria: acceptability, internal consistency, temporal stability, inter-item correlation, and tetrachoric correlation. This evaluation led to a shortened version consisting of 11 items that met all the criteria previously described. The temporal stability was measured using Cohen's kappa, and all 11 items presented values greater than 0.5. The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.72. None of the 11 items had missing data on the distribution of responses, and the model considering the discrimination as varying fit the data better than the model considering discrimination as a constant parameter (p<0.001). Item characteristic curves showed that 54.5% of items could be considered difficult, i.e., only dentists with a good understanding of comprehensiveness responded favorably. The 11-item instrument to assess comprehensiveness of care by dentists is considered to have good psychometric properties.E v a l u a t i n g P s y c h o m e t r i c P r o p e r t i e s o f a n I n s t r u m e n t Addressing Comprehensiveness o f C a r e A m o n g D e n t i s t s

Development of a new chewing function questionnaire for assessment of a self‐perceived chewing function

Abstract: The developed CFQ provides an assessment instrument of the hypothetical construct invoked to explain the chewing function. Psychometric properties are satisfactory demonstrating that the instrument is suitable for the assessment of a self-perceived chewing function.
