Validación de contenido de una encuesta sobre el uso o desuso de la resina compuesta vencida en la práctica odontológica

Abstract

Objective: to determine the content validation of a questionnaire to evaluate the use and disuse of expired composite resins in dental practice.

Methodology: descriptive observational validation study. The questionnaire on the use or disuse of expired resin in dental practice was applied to 5 dental judges specializing in biomaterials and dental aesthetics. Using the Delphi method, the questionnaire consists of 14 questions divided into 4 dimensions using the methodology of Hernández Nieto from 2002 which assesses clarity, coherence, relevance and sufficiency of each question asked, rating from 1 to 4 according to its characteristics.

Results: when conducting the first evaluation by the judges, questions 6 and 8 did not comply with the CVC, it presents an initial CVC of 0.57 and 0.62, respectively, which is below the recommended value of 0, 8. It was also evidenced that questions 9 and 14 presented the highest CVC with 1.00, followed with 0.99 questions 4 and 11. The observations of the experts included eliminating some response options (question 2, 8, 10) improving the structure in the question or the answers (3, 4, 6, 7) or leave it as it was initially (1, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14).

Conclusions: the content of a questionnaire with 14 questions was validated by experts where the use and disuse of expired composite resins in dental practice with a CVC> 0.9 is evaluated.
