Abstract

Objective: To translate, to adapt and to validate ECOHIS, in order to evaluate the quality of life related to the oral health of Ecuadorian preschoolers. Equipment and methods: Fifty three-to-five-year-old-child parents and/or caregivers participated in two experimental tests for getting the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of ECOHIS. Its validation was obtained through face-to-face interviews applied on 212 parents and/or caregivers with their respective children, who were clinically examined in order to detect dental cavities, malocclusions, or any other trauma. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was evaluated using Cronbach’s alfa, the stability of the instrument was determined with the intra-class correlation coefficient (CCI). The validity of the construct and discriminant was evaluated after correlating the clinical variables with the scores obtained from the Ec-ECOHIS. Results: The internal consistency obtained was 0744. Its stability was confirmed by the intra-class correlation coefficient (CCI=0,919). The validity of the construct was proved by with the statistically significant relations between the total score from Ec-ECOHIS, and sections EIN and EIF, with the CEOD and its components. The validity of the discriminant was confirmed after finding important differences between the groups that presented and that did not present dental cavities, malocclusions, or other trauma (p = 0,009; p = 0,028; p = 0,001, respectively) Conclusion: Ec-ECOHIS is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating the quality of life related to oral health of Ecuadorian preschoolers.
