Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in Patient with Temporomandibular Disorders

Validity, Reliability and Responsiveness of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach Biopsychosocial Questionnaire in Individuals with Temporomandibular Disorder

The aim of this study is to investigate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach-Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) in individuals with temporomandibular disorder. The following are alternative hypotheses of the study:

• BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 measuring depression.
• BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 measuring physical symptoms.
• BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 measuring anxiety.
• BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Short Form-36 measuring quality of life.
• BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Craniomandibular Pain and Disability Inventory measuring disability.
• BETY-BQ has significant convergence with the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire measuring function.
• BETY-BQ has significant stability.
• BETY-BQ has significant internal consistency.

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (Depression), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (Physical Symptoms), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (Anxiety), Short Form-36 (Quality of Life), Craniomandibular Pain and Disability Inventory (Disability), and Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (Function) will be administered to participants. For reliability analysis, test-retest stability evaluations will be repeated with the same questionnaire on 30 individuals with a 2-week interval. To determine responsiveness, the same questionnaire will be reapplied to the same 30 individuals at 3-month intervals.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Having received a diagnosis of temporomandibular disorder

Exclusion Criteria:

• Experiencing difficulty in cooperating to fill out the questionnaires
• Being unwilling to participate in the study
