Abstract Objectives. The OHIP-EDENT (the OHIP-EDENT B&H) translated from the original English language version was assessed in complete denture wearers before and after new denture manufacture and adjustments.Materials and Methods. A total of 117 acrylic complete denture wearers participated. The convergent validity was assessed by calculating point bi-serial correlations between the OHIP-EDENT Summary scores and the quality old dentures. Responsiveness was assessed by comparison of Summary score before (old dentures) and after adjustments of new dentures. Results. Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.80 in the patients with their old dentures and 0.76 in same patients after receiving new dentures and all adjustments provided. Convergent validity coefficients varied between 0.491 and 0.548. Responsiveness was confirmed by significantly lower scores of the OHIP-EDENT B&H after new denture delivery and adjustments, both for Summary scores (p=0.027), as well as for the domains of functional limitation (p=0.02), psychological discomfort (p=0.01), physical pain (p=0.003), and handicap (p=0.04). Conclusions. The translated version of the OHIP-EDENT B&H showed good psychometric properties. Clinical Relevance. Clinical significance of the application of the OHIP-EDENT B&H questionnaire is in the reflection of the achieved success in the therapy by acrylic complete dentures after corrections of teeth and denture surfaces at recalls.

Adherence to lifestyle changes - beginning to exercise, for example - is assumed to be mediated by self-referent thoughts. This paper describes a pilot study and three studies conducted to develop and validate a questionnaire for adults to determine their self-perceptions related to health-oriented exercise. The pilot study identified items pertinent to the domains considered important in this context, and began the process of selecting items. Study 2 examined the factor structure, reduced the number of items, determined the internal consistency of the factors, and explored the discriminative validity of the questionnaire as to physical activity level and gender. Four factors with a total of 24 items were accepted, measuring mastery of exercise, body perception, social comfort/discomfort in the exercise setting, and perception of fitness. All subscales had acceptable internal consistencies. Preliminary validity was demonstrated by confirming hypothesized differences in scores as to gender, age, and physical activity level. The third study examined and demonstrated convergent validity with similar existing subscales. The fourth study examined an English-language version of the questionnaire, confirming the existence of the factors and providing preliminary psychometric evidence of the viability of the questionnaire.

This study has two purposes. First, we assessed the reliability and factor structure of the English-language version of the Entrepreneurial Behavior Scale. Second, we measured its convergent validity. We used two data sets from previous studies exploring entrepreneurial behavior among public school teachers in the United States. Data set #1 consisted of 311 participants and data set #2 had 367. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate fit indexes. Results indicated a good Cronbach’s alpha score (0.84). Results also showed evidence of convergent validity between Entrepreneurial Behavior and Career Adaptability.

Myth Acceptance

Traditional measures of rape myth acceptance (RMA) have been found to yield low means and skewed distributions, potentially due to containing outdated beliefs and too blatantly phrased items. The Acceptance of Modern Myths About Sexual Aggression Scale (AMMSA; Gerger et al., 2007) is a contemporary RMA measure which was developed to contain more subtly worded items and less severe forms of sexual aggression than traditional RMA scales. In this study, the English language AMMSA was translated into Swedish and the psychometric properties of the Swedish language AMMSA were assessed. The Swedish language AMMSA had desirable statistical properties and correlated positively with other relevant measures (e.g., hostile sexism, social dominance orientation) which supported its concurrent and convergent validity. However, inconsistent with previous research, which has found the AMMSA to be a unidimensional instrument, the Swedish language AMMSA may consist of multiple factors.

OBJECTIVE: To assess user satisfaction with complete dentures made and delivered in 2010 by the public health care network of a city in the south of Santa Catarina. METHODS: This cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study used the Oral Health Impact Profile - 14 questionnaire to collect data. The questionnaire contains 14 questions on functional limitation, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, physical pain, and disability. The survey was done in a city in the south of Santa Catarina. The participants were chosen randomly and kept anonymous. The sample consisted of 247 complete dentures made by the public health network of the city in 2010 for patients aged more than 50 years. RESULTS: Based on the social and psychological questions, the upper complete denture have a small effect on the patient's quality of life, while the lower complete denture causes stress, self-consciousness, physical pain, and mastication problems. Therefore, the most severe problems were caused by lower complete dentures. CONCLUSION: Denture follow-up protocols should be created to minimize the damages they cause to patients' health and to reduce treatment loss.

Introduction/Objective. Dental patient-reported outcome measures are very important in a disease specific population such as edentulous subjects. The aim of the study was to adapt the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Subjects (OHIP-EDENT) in the cultural environment of North Macedonia. Methods. This study adapted the original 19-item version of the OHIP-EDENT. After the forward-backward translation according to international standards, the OHIP-EDENT-MAC was psychometrically tested in 109 complete denture wearers. Results. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.892 confirmed good internal consistency. Test-retest reliability was confirmed by high intraclass correlation coefficient of the summary scores (0.986; 95% confidence interval 0.968-0.993). The concurrent validity was confirmed by the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r = -0.654) between the OHIP-EDENT-MAC summary scores and a single question which rated satisfaction with the existing removable dentures using a 1-5 point scale (1 = unsatisfied, 5 = completely satisfied). Construct validity was confirmed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). All item loadings were above 0.4. Items grouped in four factors (dimensions), which explained 66.25 % of the variance, in both non-rotated and rotated matrices. Good responsiveness was confirmed in 33 participants after complete denture relining. Their OHIP Summary score (33.09 ? 11.61) decreased significantly (t = 7.68; df = 32; p < 0.001) after treatment (24.39 ? 8.0). The standardized effect size was 0.75, representing moderate to large effect. Conclusion. The OHIP-EDENT-MAC showed satisfactory psychometric properties providing evidence for its use in edentulous population of North Macedonia.

Objective: Identify suicidal ideation and behavior screening instruments with the strongest psychometric properties, using the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicidal Behavior. Methods: Information databases PsycINFO and PubMed were systematically searched, and articles evaluating the psychometric properties of instruments assessing suicidal ideation and behavior ( n = 2,238) were reviewed. International populations and articles with diverse methodologies were integrated. Results: Review of records resulted in the inclusion of 51 articles that assessed 16 instruments. The majority of studies used the English language version (68.6%) and included U.S. populations (65.7%). However, global populations and non-English language versions were also represented. Conclusion: More diverse population representation, and non-English versions of instruments, is required to improve generalizability of assessment measures. Including underrepresented groups and non-English instruments will promote culturally and linguistically sensitive instruments that may better assess suicide risk in diverse populations.

Three studies sought to translate the Relationship Disillusionment Scale (RDS-English Version) into Polish, evaluate the new scale’s psychometric properties, and extend previous validation work on the instrument. After translation and back-translation of the RDS-English Version, Study 1 administered the RDS-English Version to 20 bilingual university students in Poland, followed two months later by the Polish-language version RDS-PL. Cross-language test-retest reliability was .59. Study 2 administered the RDS-PL to 318 individuals in an online survey, who completed additional Polish-language measures to examine convergent and discriminant validity. Confirmatory factor analyses generally supported a one-factor solution for the RDS-PL. Significant correlations in the expected direction with variables such as relationship commitment, relationship depth, forgiveness-benevolence, and resentment-avoidance supported the convergent validity of the RDS-PL. Study 3, which surveyed 280 bilingual individuals online, documented invariance of RDS-PL factor loadings between ever-married and non-married participants. In addition, several Polish- and English-language variables (e.g., satisfaction, conflict intensity/reactivity, commitment, intimacy) correlated with the RDS-PL (more strongly in married than unmarried participants), further supporting the convergent validity of the RDS-PL. Studies 2 and 3 also provided modest support for its discriminant validity.

Test Retest Reliability

The psychometric properties of the English-language NIH Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIH Toolbox) have been examined in numerous populations. This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Spanish-language NIH Toolbox. Participants were children aged 3 to 7 years and adults aged 18 to 85 years who took part in the NIH Toolbox norming study in Spanish. Results supported the internal consistency reliability of included measures. Test–retest reliability was strong for most tests, though it was weaker for the test of olfaction among children and the test of locomotion among adults. Spearman’s correlations and general linear models showed Spanish tests were often associated with age, sex, and education. Convergent validity for the two language measures that underwent more intensive development, evaluated via Spearman’s correlations with legacy measures, was strong. Results support using the Spanish-language NIH Toolbox to measure neurological and behavioral functioning among Spanish-speaking individuals in the United States.

Working Alliance Inventory

The working alliance is one of the most widely studied constructs in psychotherapy process research. The purpose of our study was to adapt the patient and therapist forms of the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI-P and WAI-T) into Spanish. Both measurement instruments were translated into Spanish through a systematic translation process. The psychometric properties of the instruments were evaluated in both a pilot study and a clinical study involving Spanish outpatients with depressive disorders and their therapists. In the clinical study, patients completed the Spanish-language Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) prior to initiating therapy and after the third and tenth psychotherapy sessions. High average scores were obtained with the Spanish-language WAI-P and WAI-T. A large number of individual items correlated satisfactorily with the overall score for the corresponding subscale. Both measures demonstrated excellent reliability (internal consistency) and convergent validity. There were some limitations in the discriminant validity of the measures vs. measures of empathy. Regarding predictive validity, the overall WAI-P and the Task subscale of the WAI-T separately explained a moderate percentage of the variance in patient change in the BDI after the tenth psychotherapy session. These results were satisfactory and consistent with those obtained in studies using the English-language WAI.
