Oral Health: Validation of a questionnaire of self-perception and self-care habits in Diabetes Mellitus 2, hypertensive and obese patients. The UISESS-B scale

Abstract

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�.

Development and validation of a daily assessment tool for critically ill patients

“…Based on the findings from the seven experts, the scale content validity index (S‐CVI) of this tool was found to be over 90%, which was considered acceptable for a newly developed instrument. These results were in line with findings from other studies that assessed the psychometric properties of questionnaires developed for use in a survey, with a CVI above 80%, which has been accepted as the minimum limit for a new instrument 32‐36 . In addition, Guimaraes et al, 8 who developed and validated an assessment tool for mechanically ventilated patients, showed that the CVI implementation for each indicator item was 86% of the agreement on the five indicators.…”

This indicates the validity of this content.…”

Development and Validation of a Red Flag Prediction Model for Admission of COVID-19 Patients to the Intensive Care Unit

“…The proposed model's scale content validity index (S-CVI) was over 90% in the current study, which is acceptable for a newly developed instrument. These results were in line with findings from other studies that assessed the psychometric properties of questionnaires designed for use in a survey, with a CVI above 80% 30,31. On the other hand, our rating for face validity was similar to other findings 32…”

Measuring Self-Care in Persons With Type 2 Diabetes

“…The UISESS-B scale was developed to evaluate self-care habits and self-perception of oral health for patients with chronic diseases including diabetes mellitus (Salcedo-Rocha, Garcia-de-Alba-Garcia, Velasquez-Herrera, & Barba-Gonzalez, 2011). The UISESS-B consists of two parts: oral health habits (hygiene, food/feeding, and care/protection) and oral health status self-perception (mouth and teeth signs and symptoms), with 35 items rated on 3-point Likert-type scale.…”
