Abstract

Background/aim: The child oral and motor proficiency scale (ChOMPS) is a parent-reported assessment that evaluates a child’s eating and drinking skills within the framework of all related motor functions. It has been found to be useful in research studies and recommended in reviews. The purpose of this study was to perform the translation and cultural adaptation of the English version of the ChOMPS to Turkish and conduct psychometric testing of the ChOMPS–Turkish version, including reliability and validity.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted with 185 children. Cronbach’s α, corrected item-to-total correlations, coefficient of variation, and Cronbach’s α when one item was deleted were used to assess internal consistency. In addition, test–retest reliability was assessed. The functional oral intake scale (FOIS) and pediatric eating assessment tool-10 (Pedi-EAT-10) scales were used for convergent validity. Moreover, Pedi-EAT-10 score was used to perform the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the sensitivity and specificity of ChOMPS–Turkish version were calculated.

Results: It was found that the ChOMPS–Turkish version demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability. Cronbach’s α levels were excellent (0.969 and 0.973), and test–retest reliability demonstrated very high agreement (0.997–0.999; p < 0.001). Significant good-to-excellent correlations were found between the validation scales. In addition, the total ChOMPS–Turkish version score for dysphagia risk as estimated using Pedi-EAT-10 had 94.74% sensitivity and 80.28% specificity.

Conclusion: The ChOMPS–Turkish version demonstrates strong evidence of validity and reliability for use in clinical practice and research.
