Translation and Validation of the Short Form of the Fear of Dental Pain Questionnaire in China

The short form of the Fear of Dental Pain Questionnaire (s-FDPQ) is a validated measure developed to screen patients for their fear of pain associated with dental procedures. As there is a high prevalence of dental fear/anxiety in Chinese adults, the primary aim of our study was to translate the s-F...

The Chinese s-FDPQ (s-CFDPQ) was internally consistent (alpha = 0.87) and demonstrated convergent validity (r = 0.73 when correlated with the MDAS). Test-retest reliability was good (ICC = 0.86). Individuals who had never attended the dentist (22%) had higher FDP scores than those that had, even if they were not dentally anxious. Also, females reported higher FDP scores (p < 0.001).

The s-CFDPQ could allow quick identification of individuals who are fearful of dental pain who may require specialist attention.Lei WuHeather BuchananArjen J. van WijkFrontiers Media S.A.articleanxietypainquestionnaireChinasurveyPsychologyBF1-990ENFrontiers in Psychology, Vol 12 (2021)
