Cross-cultural adaptation of the PIDAQ questionnaire to evaluate the psychosocial impact of dental esthetics in Chilean adolescents.
Objectives: Objective: The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) is a self-administered index useful for evaluating orthodontic aspects that impact individuals' oral health-related quality of life. This study aimed to validate the cross-cultural adaptation and equivalence of the PIDAQ questionnaire to the language of the Chilean adolescent population.
Methods: Methods: The framework of the Guidelines for the Transcultural Adaptation Process of self-reports and the Manuals for a language with a gender approach and inclusive communication in Chilean adolescents were used for the transcultural adaptation of the questionnaire. The instrument was tested on 33 adolescents between 11 and 17. Its equivalence was evaluated according to criterion, content, and construct validity according to COSMIN methodology and validated by Cronbach's alpha statistical test.
Results: Results: A total of 23 questions in the questionnaire were evaluated according to how clear and understandable the questions were to the reader and according to a Likert scale graduated in: not at all clear, unclear, unclear, clear, or very clear. Acceptable reliability with a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.792 was obtained for the questionnaire. The questions grouped according to the dimensions of dental self-confidence, social impact, psychological impact, and esthetic concern obtained a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86, 0.9, 0.87 and 0.75, respectively.
Conclusions: Conclusion: The cross-cultural adaptation of the PIDAQ questionnaire achieved equivalence with the original instrument and obtained reliable criterion, content, and construct validity in Chilean adolescents.
