Highlights
- •Psychological discomfort and social disadvantage differed between the methods.
- •The total score should be considered when evaluating Oral Health Impact Profile-14 consistency.
- •The telephone is reliable for the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 questionnaire in orthosurgical patients.
Abstract
Background
The influence of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14 administration method through
telephone or face-to-face interviews in orthosurgical patients is unknown. The study
aims to assess the reliability of the OHIP-14 questionnaire through its stability
and internal consistency when applied through a telephone interview compared with
a face-to-face interview.
Methods
A total of 21 orthosurgical patients were selected to compare the scores obtained
in OHIP-14. The interview was carried out by telephone, and 2 weeks later, the patient
was invited to attend a face-to-face interview. Stability was verified by Cohen's
kappa coefficient with quadratic weighting for individual items and intraclass correlation
coefficient for the total OHIP-14 score. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's
alpha coefficient for the total scale and its seven subscales.
Results
Items 5 and 6 showed reasonable agreement in the two modes of administration; 4 and
14 moderate; 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, and 13 substantial; and items 2, 8, 10, and 12 showed
almost perfect agreement, according to the Cohen's kappa coefficient test. The instrument's
internal consistency was better in the face-to-face interview (0.89) than it was in
the telephone interview (0.85). For the evaluation of the seven OHIP-14 subscales,
differences were found in functional limitations, psychological discomfort, and social
disadvantage subscales.
Conclusions
Although there were some differences in OHIP-14 subscales between the interview methods,
the total score of the questionnaire showed good stability and internal consistency.
The telephone method can be a reliable alternative for the application of the OHIP-14
questionnaire in orthosurgical patients.
