    Objective: To identify the factors associated with Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in preschool children of Concepción, Chile. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of enrolled preschoolers who attend public schools in Concepción, Chile. To measure OHRQoL, the chilean version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) was used; sociodemographic variables of the children and their parents were also recorded, as well as variables regarding the last visit to the dentist. To determine differences in the ECOHIS score for categorical variables, ANOVA and t-test were used, while Pearson's r was used to correlate ECOHIS with quantitative variables (p<0.05). Results: A total of 175 children were surveyed, with a distribution of 89 boys and 86 girls aged 56-to-79 months. The total score of the ECOHIS had a mean of 4.48 ±5.96, with a score between 0-38. Statistically significant associations were with parent's educational attainment (r=-0.159), dmft (r=0.380), OHI-S debris (r=0.174) and reason for the last visit to the dentist, the highest average in the ECOHIS scores was registered in the urgency reason. Conclusion: Oral health status, dental service utilization and educational level are associated with the OHRQoL of preschoolers of Concepción. © 2022, Association of Support to Oral Health Research (APESB).

    VALIDATION OF FAMILY IMPACT SCALE TO ASSESS ORAL HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN PARENTS OF CHILEAN PRESCHOOLERS
    (Journal of Stomatology, Volume 76, Issue 1, Pages 26 - 302023, 2023) Cartes-Velásquez, Ricardo Andrés; Altamirano-Valdivia, Diego; Bizama-Vásquez, Rodrigo; Campos, Valeria; León-Manco, Roberto Antonio; Luengo, Luis
    Introduction: Health-related quality of life results from the perspective that well-being of patients is an important point considered in their treatment. From the 1960s, research and data collection with surveys began with the creation of multiple measurement tools for estimation of subjective opinions in a population. However, these tools must be translated into native language of a country of interest, and it also requires a correct validation by obtaining appropriate psychometric properties. Objectives: To assess the validity of Family Impact Scale (FIS) in parents of Chilean preschoolers living in the province of Concepción, Chile. Material and methods: Target group was parents of preschoolers in the province of Concepción. Variables included oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) measured using Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and FIS, oral hygiene, caries history, dental service utilization, sex, children's age, parent's age, and parent's education level. Moreover, psychometric properties with internal consistency, temporal stability, criterion, and discriminative validity were evaluated. Cronbach's α was estimated for internal consistency, and the following statistics were generated: intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for temporal stability, and Pearson's r correlation coefficient for criterion and discriminative validity (p < 0.05). Results: Regarding internal consistency, FIS presented a global Cronbach's α of 0.765, being acceptable. For the temporal stability, an ICC of 0.99 (p < 0.001) was found, which indicated excellent temporal stability. For the criterion validity, moderate correlations (0.6 < Pearson's r > 0.3) were found between FIS and ECOHIS as well as for most of the dimensions. Conclusions: The Chilean version of the family impact scale exhibits questionable reliability and validity, despite its' excellent temporal stability. Therefore, it is not recommended to use FIS in parents of Chilean preschoolers. © 2023 Polish Dental Association
