Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHIP-14; Slade, 1997)

  The oral health related quality of life scale is a 14-item measurement of individuals' perceptions of the social impact of oral conditions on their well-being. This scale evaluates the consequences of oral conditions across dimensions of functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. Items are rated on a 5- point Likert type scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often), regarding how frequently impact has been experienced. The total score ranges from 0 to 56; higher OHIP-14 scores indicate greater impact, hence poorer oral-health-related quality of life.

• Change in Oral Health Self Efficacy (Modified Version of Finlayson, 2007).

  Oral health self efficacy uses a 6 item scale and is a measurement of how confident seniors feel about their ability to perform oral hygiene tasks (1) under a lot of stress; (2) being depressed; (3) feeling anxious; (4) feeling that they were too busy; (5) being tired or; (6) being worried about other things in their life. The four response options range from 'very confident' to 'not at all confident'. The possible score range is 0 to 24,with high scores indicating high self-efficacy.
