The Schizophrenia Oral Health Profile questionnaire was developed to assess the oral health-related quality of life among individuals with schizophrenia based on their perceptions rather than from caregivers. A 5-point Likert scale was used to self-report on 42 items. In the present study, different analyses were conducted to determine the dimensional structure of the final scale: (1) inter-item correlation analysis and Cronbach’s α coefficient, (2) Rasch model analysis, (3) exploratory factor analysis and (4) confirmatory factor analysis. The final version of the Schizophrenia Oral Health Profile questionnaire consisted of 20 items and an internal structure composed of three dimensions: (1) emotions related to oral health, (2) oral pain and discomfort and (3) self-image, others’ views and the need for care. We showed that the difficulty and discrimination indices of each of the 20 selected items were acceptable according to the Rasch model, as well as their inter-item and inter-score correlations (α = 0.875). The psychometric study of the Schizophrenia Oral Health Profile questionnaire is still in progress to investigate reproducibility, sensitivity to change and external structure.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to present the different stages of development of the Schizophrenia Oral Health Profile (SOHP) questionnaire, aimed at assessing oral disorders and their impacts on functioning and psychosocial wellbeing for patients with schizophrenia (PWS) and to give the results of a feasibility study conducted in France Materials and methods The first step of this qualitative study was semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 PWS and 6 health professionals (HP). A focus group integrating 4 PWS and 4 HP was also organised to identify the items of the SOHP. The data were analysed using a thematic analysis. Second, a feasibility study was conducted in a sample of 30 PWS who answered the SOHP questionnaire. The acceptability and understanding of the SOHP were evaluated, using a specific questionnaire. Results The semi-structured interviews and focus groups included 34 individuals in total. Items’ selection was done with several stages and led to a SOHP scale with 53 final items related to oral disorders and their impacts on functioning and psychosocial well-being. These items were classified in 13 preselected dimensions including one additional module related to the side effects of medications (11 items). The feasibility study showed good acceptability and understanding of the items of the SOHP scale. Conclusions The psychometric validation of the SOHP scale, involving a large sample of PWS, is currently in progress. The SOHP is important to evaluate PWS oral health needs and to offer appropriate strategies to improve oral health of this persons. Trial registration Clinical Trials Gov NCT02730832.

Objetivo: Analisar a ocorrência de casos COVID-19 na Região de Saúde Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia. Método: Levantamento epidemiológico dos casos confirmados da infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 de 6 de abril a 7 de outubro de 2020, utilizando dados secundários do Portal GeoCovid-19. Foram analisadas medidas de frequência absoluta e relativas, indicadores de incidência, letalidade e projeção dos casos. Resultados: A região passou pelas fases de epidemia localizada e de aceleração. Pindobaçu e Filadélfia apresentaram incidência com valores maiores que o registrado no país. Três municípios concentraram 70,6% dos óbitos registrados. Sem implementação da supressão de fluxo, 5 dos 9 municípios da região, em janeiro de 2021, apresentarão uma curva ascendente do número de casos em curto espaço de tempo. Conclusão: Observou-se, que durante o período analisado, houve um constante crescimento da morbimortalidade por COVID-19 na região. Entretanto, o maior crescimento da incidência e a manutenção da letalidade em comparação aos indicadores nacionais aponta para a necessidade de melhorias no planejamento e implementação das estratégias de prevenção adotadas pelos municípios. ABSTRACTObjective: To analyze the epidemiology of COVID-19 in the Health Region of Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia. Method: Epidemiological survey of confirmed cases of the SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 6 to October 7, 2020, using secondary data from the ‘Portal GeoCovid-19’. Measurements of absolute and relative frequency, indicators of incidence, lethality and projection of cases were analyzed. Results: The region went through the phases of localized and accelerating epidemics. Pindobaçu and Filadélfia presented higher incidence values than the one registered in the country. Three municipalities concentrate 70.6% of the registered deaths. Without implementing the suppression of flow, in January 2021 five of the nine municipalities from the region will present an upward curve of the number of cases in a short period of time. Conclusion: It was observed that during the analyzed period, there was a constant increase in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality in the region. However, the greater growth in incidence and the maintenance of lethality compared to national indicators points to the need for improvements in the planning and implementation of prevention strategies adopted by the municipalities.Keywords: Health Profile; Coronavirus Infections; Incidence; Lethality; Epidemiology; Pandemics. RESUMENObjetivo: Analizar la epidemiología de COVID-19 en la Región Sanitaria Senhor do Bonfim, Bahia.
