- Abstract
Background: The Child Oral Health Impact Profile – Preschool version (COHIP‐PS) is the first validated questionnaire designed to assess the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschool children with varying oral health‐related conditions. Aim: To cross‐culturally adapt the original version of COHIP‐PS into Chinese and to assess the psychometric properties of a web‐based version of the COHIP‐PS (eCOHIP‐PS/C). Design: The eCOHIP‐PS/C was first created using current guidelines. Then, the eCOHIP‐PS/C was administered to caregivers having children 2‐5 years old. The reliability of the eCOHIP‐PS/C was estimated using Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Cross‐cultural validity and convergent validity were also investigated. Results: The study included 260 children (mean age 4.3 years). Cronbach's alpha of eCOHIP‐PS/C was 0.903 and the ICC of the scale was 0.862. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated that a four‐component model was the best solution for the eCOHIP‐PS/C. The fit indices were as follows: χ2/df = 2.176, TLI = 0.942, CFI = 0.946, GFI = 0.927, and RMSEA = 0.075. In addition, a good relationship was found between the eCOHIP‐PS/C and the global oral health question. Conclusion: The eCOHIP‐PS/C is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the OHRQoL among Chinese preschool children.
