- Abstract
Background: Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES‐QC) has been developed to assess the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) associated with caries. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the CARIES‐QC in the Turkish‐speaking population following its translation and adaptation into Turkish (CARIES‐QC/T). Design: Two hundred and fifty children between the ages of 5 and 16 years who have active dental caries were included in the study and answered the Turkish‐translated and cross‐culturally adapted final version of CARIES‐QC/T. Test–retest reliability and internal consistency were used to examine the reliability of the CARIES‐QC/T. Factor structure of CARIES‐QC/T was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and convergent validity was determined. Results: Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's ômega values were 0.907 and 0.908, respectively. For the CARIES‐QC/T scale, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value was 0.933, and polychoric correlations ranged from 0.390 to 0.794. The convergent validity of the items revealed a statistically significant correlation with the global question (rs = 0.821, p <.001). The EFA results of CARIES‐QC/T suggested a one‐factor solution and explained 59.7% of the total variance. Conclusion: The findings provided supporting evidence that the CARIES‐QC/T could be used as a tool for measuring OHRQoL in healthy Turkish‐speaking children aged 5–16 years with active caries.
