Resumen:
Background Oral health of the mother-infant dyad is important to
preserve general health. However, there are few instruments in Spanish
for the evaluation of knowledge, attitudes and practices that determine
this construct. Therefore, this research aimed to develop and evaluate
the psychometric properties of the Maternal Oral Health Knowledge,
Attitudes and Practices Questionnaire (CAPSOM in Spanish). Methods In
this instrument development study that carried out in 2018-2019,
involving pregnant women between the ages of 18 and 45 in the city of
Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. The sample size was calculated based on 10
women per questionnaire item (n = 10 k). The study used Cronbach's
alpha, the modified Lawshe test of validity criteria, factor analysis,
and the level of difficulty and discrimination of the items. Results 207
women took part with their signed, informed consent (25 +/- 6 years).
The internal consistency of the instrument, both total and by dimension
was alpha = 0.70, alpha = 0.66 knowledge, alpha = 0.74 attitudes, and
alpha = 0.66 practices. Values of Content Validity Ratio' >= 0.60 were
obtained for the final 10 items and Content Validity Index' = 0.90. The
average difficulty index of items was 0.40, and there were significant
differences (Kruskall-Wallis, p < 0.001) in the discrimination test.
Factor analysis demonstrated three main components. Conclusions A valid
and reliable 10-item Spanish questionnaire was designed to measure
pregnant women's oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
