The Dutch Version of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ-NL):Validation for Cleft Patients

Objective: The aim of this study is to validate the Dutch version of the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ-NL) for cleft patients who received orthognathic surgery. Methods: To compare the OQLQ-NL with the CLEFT-Q, we used a convenience sample of thirty-two cleft patients. Using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for multiple item scales, internal reliabilities of the OQLQ-NL were evaluated. The OQLQ-NL was repeated at a two-week interval and the intraclass correlation coefficient was calculated, to establish of the test-retest reliability. The construct validity of the OQLQ-NL wa...
