Quality Of Life And Oral Health In Children - Part I: Brazilian Version Of The Child Perceptions Questionnaire 8-10 [gualidade De Vida E Saúde Bucal Em Crianças - Parte I: Versão Brasileira Do Child Perceptions Questionnaire 8-10]

The scope of this study was to translate the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10), related to quality of life and oral health, into the Portuguese language and make the necessary cultural adaptations for use with the Brazilian child population. The instrument saw the following steps: two translations into Brazilian Portuguese, back-translation, committee review and pre-test. For cross-cultural adaptation, in each question the alternative "I didn't understand" was added. The questionnaire was applied to 20 children recruited from Public Schools in Piracicaba. The two initial translations were similar, but for the back-translation it was decided to combine both forms and some questions were selected from one of the translations or a third alternative was even inserted. After the committee review, in some questions there were word substitutions with synonyms for clearer understanding by the population evaluated. Terms that were incompatible for the cultural context of the population analyzed were substituted. In the pre-test the Brazilian version of CPQ 8-10 was clearly understood by the population studied. The Portuguese version of the CPQ 8-10 proved to be fully comprehensible to the Brazilian child population.161040774085Locker, D., Jokovic, A., Stephens, M., Kenny, D., Tomp-Son, B., Guyatt, G., Family impact of child oral and oro-facial conditions (2002) Community Dent Oral Epidemiol, 30 (6), pp. 438-448Pinto, V.G., (2000) Saúde Bucal Coletiva, , São Paulo: Editora SantosJokovic, A., Locker, D., Stephens, M., Kenny, D., Tomp-Son, B., Guyatt, G., Validity and reliability of a questionnaire for measuring child oral-health-related quality of life (2002) J Dent Res, 81 (7), pp. 459-463Gherunpong, S., Tsakos, G., Sheiham, A., Developing and evaluating an oral health-related quality of life index for childrenthe CHILD-OIDP (2004) Community Dent Health, 21 (2), pp. 161-169Jokovic, A., Locker, D., Tompson, B., Guyatt, G., Questionnaire for measuring oral health-related quality of life in eight- to ten-year-old children (2004) Pediatr Dent, 26 (6), pp. 512-518Herdman, M., Fox-Rushby, J., Badia, X., 'Equivalence' and the translation and adaptation of health-related quality of life questionnaires (1997) Qual Life Res, 6 (3), pp. 237-247Behling, O., Law, K.S., (2000) Translating Questionnaires and Other Research Instruments: Problems and Solutions, , Thousand Oaks: Sage PublicationsGuillemin, F., Bombardier, C., Beaton, D., Cross-cultural adaptation of health-related quality of life measures: Literature review and proposed guidelines (1993) J Clin Epidemiol, 46 (12), pp. 1417-1432Guillemin, F., Paul-Daupjin Virion, J.M., Bouchet, C., Briançon, S., Le profil de santé de Duke: Un instrument générique de mesure de qualité de la vie liée à la santé (1997) Santé Publique, 9 (1), pp. 35-44Bradley, C., (2001) Handbook of Psychology and Diabetes, pp. 43-57. , Translation of questionnaire for use in different languages and cultures, Bradley C, or-ganizadores, Amsterdam: Harwood Academic PublishersCastro, R.A.L., Portela, M.C., Leão, A.T., Adaptação trans-cultural de índices de qualidade de vida relaciona-da à saúde bucal (2007) Cad Saude Publica, 23 (10), pp. 2275-2284Reichenheim, M.E., Moraes, C.L., Hasselmann, M.H., Semantic equivalence of the Portuguese version of the Abuse Assessment Screen tool used for the screening of violence against pregnant women (2000) Rev Saude Publica, 34 (6), pp. 610-616Ciconelli, R.M., Ferraz, M.B., Santos, W., Meinão, I., Quaresma, M.R., Tradução para a língua portuguesa e validação do questionário genérico de avaliação de qualidade de vida SF-36 (Brasil SF-36) (1999) Rev Bras Reumatol, 39 (3), pp. 143-150Hebling, E., Pereira, A.C., Oral health-related quality of life: A critical appraisal of assessment tools used in elderly people (2007) Gerodontology, 24 (3), pp. 151-16
