Abstract
ARANZAZU-MOYA, Gloria Cristina and RODRIGUEZ, Martha Juliana. Validity and Reliability of a Questionnaire on Treatment Satisfaction among Patients Wearing Complete Dentures. Rev. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, pp.95-109. Epub Aug 21, 2023. ISSN 1692-7273. https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/revsalud/a.10795.
Introduction:
Evaluating treatment satisfaction requires a specific and validated questionnaire that can obtain information about adequate service provision and contribute to people's well-being. The objective of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Colombian version of a questionnaire on satisfaction among complete denture wearers.
Materials and methods:
This survey evaluated diagnostic technology used among 226 patients. Information on sociodemographic characteristics was obtained and ten items of the instrument were evaluated. Internal consistency, test-retest reproducibility, and Bland-Altman limits of agreement were analyzed. Component analysis was performed and the Rasch model was used.
Results:
Median age of the participants was 69 (ric: 63-76) years, and 158 (69.91%) were women. Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficients were 0.91 and 0.80, respectively. Two factors were identified, all ten items conformed to the Rasch model and no differential item functioning was observed.
Conclusions:
The Colombian version of the questionnaire showed excellent reliability, and the proportion of variance explained by the measures was deemed satisfactory (58.60%).
