Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study will assess linguistic accuracy, applicability, and reliability/validity of the German, Spanish and Portuguese version of the instrument.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The translation and cultural adaptation process will include forward and backward translations of the original UCMT (English) to German, Spanish and Portuguese. Two independent forward translations will be performed for each language, followed by reconciliation into a single version, based on semantic equivalence, clarity and cultural appropriatness. Blinded backward translations into English will then be conducted to ensure conceptual consistency with the original instrument.
A panel of experts, composed of dental experts and linguistic professionals fluent in both languages will review all trnaslated versions using a Delphi approach.Later, the adapted instruments will be reviewed by the original UCMT developers for the final approval. Concent Validity Index (CVI) of the translated UCMT will be evaluated through expert ratings and cognitive interviews with dental professionals experienced in special care dentistry.
Following the experts' validation, a pilot reliability phase will be conducted using standarised online clinical cases developed for the original versions of the UCMT. Participating raters will complete a online questionnaire using the translated UCMT. Intra and interrater agreement will be assessed to evaluate consistency of the translated instrument in a simulated clinical scenario.
This study does not involve real patients of the collection of sensitive personal data.
