Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Myanmar version of the scale of oral health outcomes for 5-year-old children

<h4>Objective</h4> The aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the child’s self-report and parental report of the scale of oral health outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5) for use in Myanmar (Burmese-speaking) population and to assess the reliability and validity of the Myan...

description <h4>Objective</h4> The aim of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the child’s self-report and parental report of the scale of oral health outcomes for 5-year-old children (SOHO-5) for use in Myanmar (Burmese-speaking) population and to assess the reliability and validity of the Myanmar version. <h4>Materials and methods</h4> The forward-backward translation method was used to develop the Myanmar SOHO-5 version and the final questionnaires were tested on 173 five years old children and their parents for reliability and validity. A single dentist examined the caries experience of the children (Kappa:0.90). The structural validity was assessed through confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability (1–2 weeks) were evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), respectively. The association between SOHO-5 scores and additional global rating questions for child oral health status (convergent validity) and the differences between the total SOHO-5 score of children with caries and children without caries (discriminant validity) were investigated. <h4>Results</h4> A confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the one-factor structure of the SOHO-5. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient values for internal consistency were 0.82 for the children’s report and 0.79 for the parental report. The ICCs were 0.90 and 0.89 for the total scores of the children and parental versions in the test-retest reliability analysis. The total SOHO-5 scores for both reports were significantly associated with the global rating questions except for the ’impact on children’s general health’ question in the parental report. Furthermore, the Myanmar version discriminated between the children with and without caries experiences (p < 0.001). <h4>Conclusion</h4> This study provided evidence that both children and parental reports of the Myanmar SOHO-5 version have good reliability and validity to assess the OHRQoL of 5-year-old children in a Burmese-speaking population.
