Development and validation of Tamil version of CARIES-QC questionnaire among socially marginalized school children in Chennai City.
Background: The Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC), which was developed to assess dental caries-specific Child Oral Health Related Quality of Life (COHRQoL), has been translated into few world languages.
Aim: To develop and validate the Tamil version of Caries Impacts and Experience Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC).
Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted among socially marginalized school children in Chennai City. The initial translation of the English CARIES-QC questionnaire to Tamil was made by two independent translators followed by an expert committee discussion to derive a prefinal version of the Tamil questionnaire. Subsequently, content validation was performed by bilingual subject experts followed by preliminary pilot testing among 30 school children aged 8-10 years studying in Adidravidar Welfare High School, Chennai, to produce the final version of the questionnaire. Convergent validity, discriminant validity, and test-retest reliability of the translated questionnaire were tested among 191 children.
Results: The content validation process revealed that the translated version had relevant questions and content coverage (Scale-wise Content Validity Index score = .91). The children with and without dental caries had mean CARIES-QC scores of 5.39 + 3.7 and 3.71 + 5.1, respectively, and their statistically significant difference (p-value = .04) between them indicates the scale's satisfactory discriminant validity. The Cronbach's alpha was .87 indicating the questionnaire's good internal consistency.
Conclusion: The newly developed Tamil CARIES-QC questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing COHRQoL among Tamil-speaking school children.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide.
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
