Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP‐J)

Abstract

The objective of the study was to develop a Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). The original 49 items were translated using a forward-backward method following accepted cultural adaptation guidelines. A de novo development of Japanese items was conducted to establish content validity. The associations between the OHIP summary score and self-reported oral health (n = 220) and self-reported denture quality (n = 155) were investigated for construct validity. The association between the OHIP summary score and six oral conditions (n = 227) were also tested. The responsiveness of the instrument was established by comparing the score before and after using newly fabricated removable partial dentures (n = 30). The test-retest reliability (n = 37) and internal consistency (n = 251) were also calculated. After the de novo development, five new items were added to the OHIP. The priori hypothesized associations between the OHIP score and oral health conditions were confirmed (P < 0.001). The change in the OHIP scores from 63.6 to 40.6 (P < 0.001) supports the responsiveness of the instrument. Intra-class correlation coefficients of 0.81 and Cronbach's alpha of 0.98 indicate high test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the instrument's summary score. Sufficient discriminative and evaluative psychometric properties of the currently developed Japanese version of the OHIP in typical target populations make the instrument suitable for assessing the oral health-related quality of life in cross-sectional as well as longitudinal studies.

Oral Health-related Quality of Life in Czech Population

“…The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is a technically sophisticated instrument that is widely used internationally (4,12,14). It is one of the most commonly used instrument for measuring oral health-related quality of life and it was used to measure oral health-related quality of life in many countries that use English as a first language (12,13,(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

“…It is increasingly accepted that traditional clinical measures of health need to be suplemented by data concerning the experiences and concerns obtained from patients (2). Quality of life has been established as an important determinant of care seeking, adherence to treatment regimen, satisfaction with the care received and as an outcome for evaluating the impact of a disease and for assessing the efficacy of treatments (1,3,4).…”

Application of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) among Taiwanese elderly

“…Therefore, the OHIP-49 has been translated and validated in several countries [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. A Chinese version of the OHIP was developed by Wong and McMillan [4] for the Hong Kong elderly.…”

A randomized controlled trial of the different impression methods for the complete denture fabrication: Patient reported outcomes

“…This questionnaire supported grouping questions according to seven subscales, each representing a specific dimension of OHRQoL. 15 The OHIP-EDENT-J assesses the impact of oral conditions on the quality of life using a frequency estimation of the disruption, such as discomfort and disability, in daily activities. 16 In contrast, the general patient satisfaction that was measured using a 100 mm VAS represented a participants' perceived satisfaction with their new CDs and can be assumed to vary in a continuous range from a negative to a positive zone.…”
