Validation of a Persian version of the OIDP index

Abstract

BackgroundMeasuring the impacts of oral conditions on quality of life is an important part of oral health needs assessment. For this purpose a variety of oral health-related quality of life instruments have been developed. To use a scale in a new context or with a different groups of people, it is necessary to re-establish its psychometric properties. The objectives of this study are to develop and test the reliability and validity of the Persian version of Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) index.MethodsThe Persian version of OIDP index was developed through a linguistic translation exercise. The psychometric properties of the Persian version of OIDP were evaluated in terms of face, content, construct and criterion validity in addition to internal and test-retest reliability. A convenience sample of 285 working adults aged 20–50 living in Mashad was recruited (91% response rate) to evaluate the Persian version.ResultsThe Persian version of OIDP had excellent validity and reliability charactersitics. Weighted Kappa was 0.91. Cronbachs alpha coefficient was 0.79. The index showed significant associations with self-rated oral and general health status, as well as perceived dental treatment needs, satisfaction with mouth and prevalence of pain in mouth (P < 0.001). 64.9% of subjects had an oral impact on their daily performances. The most prevalent performance affected was eating, followed by major work or role and sleeping.ConclusionThe Persian version of OIDP index is a valid and reliable measure for use in 20 to 50 year old working Iranians.

Development of a Japanese version of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) scale: a pilot study

“…Consequently, locality of residence might have affected the response patterns, although the sample size was not enough for confirmation Table 1 Prevalence of oral health problems and oral impacts on daily performances Table 2 Item-scale correlations for the OIDP items of the findings. A previous study using another language version of the OIDP has also reported skewed responses to some items (14). Analysis of the relationship between response patterns and subjects' characteristics could be important under various settings.…”

“…Three versions of the OIDP have been developed and translated into several languages, including an interview and self-administered questionnaire for adults, and a separate one for children (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). The interview and self-administered questionnaire both assess the degree to which oral health problems have affected the life of the participant over the previous 6 months.…”

Oral impacts on daily performances in white-collar port workers in Nellore, India — a cross-sectional study

“…A total of 250 white-collar workers in the port with mean age of 34.67 ± 6.36 participated in the study. Dorri et al [12] examined the validity and reliability of the OIDP inventory among Iranian 20-50-yearold employees in Mashhad [12]. In the present study, all participants explained that oral and dental problems had affected at least one of their daily activities.…”

“…It was also below 70% observed in Western population with high dental disease levels and in a low oral disease Thai population [10]. Different values have been reported for the prevalence of OIDP by Kida et al [13] (51.2% in urban and 61.2% in rural areas), Dorri et al [12] (64.9%), Srisilapanan and Sheiham [14] (52.8%), Jung et al [15] (62.9%). The 8 impact prevalence rates ranged from 4.4% to 48.4%.…”

Applicability of a Serbian version of the “Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP)” index - assessment of oral health-related quality of life

“…Od pojave originalne verzije, OIDP je korišćen u različitim studijama kod adultne populacije u Velikoj Britaniji i Grčkoj 12, 14 , Tajlandu 15 , Tanzaniji 16 , Ugandi 17 , Norveškoj 18 i Iranu 19 . Ovaj upitnik je usvojen za epidemiološka istraži-vanja populacija različitog doba i pokazalo se da je pouzdan i valjan.…”
