Este estudo verificou a consistência interna e a confiabilidade de um instrumento para avaliar os serviços odontológicos na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Metodologia: Para verificar a validade dos fatores, foi utilizada uma análise fatorial com extração de componentes principais e método de rotação ortogonal varimax. Foram selecionados fatores com três ou mais itens com cargas fatoriais maiores que 0,35. A confiabilidade deste instrumento foi verificada usando consistência interna (correlação total de itens> 0,30 e alfa de Cronbach = ou> 0,70)). Resultados: 562 dentistas participaram do estudo. Na análise fatorial, foram mantidos dez fatores, o que explica 40,95% da variação total. Quanto à consistência interna, apenas 3 itens apresentaram correlação insuficiente. Ainda na consistência interna, utilizando o alfa de Cronbach, foram identificados os seguintes valores dos coeficientes: Acesso (0,55), Continuidade (0,74), Coordenação de Atenção (0,55), Coordenação - Sistema de Informação (0,21), Abrangência dos Serviços Disponíveis (0,91), Abrangência dos serviços prestados (0,79), Orientação familiar (0,66), Orientação comunitária (0,87), Competência cultural (0,81). Para a taxa de sucesso da escala, todos os resultados foram superiores a 88%, menos o componente “Sistemas de Informação” (21%). Conclusão: O instrumento possui propriedades psicométricas adequadas e foi adequado pa

Abstract:
This study verified the internal consistency and reliability of an instrument to evaluate dental services in Primary Health Care (PHC). Methodology: In order to verify the factor validity, a factor analysis with principal component extraction and varimax orthogonal rotation method was used. Factors with three or more items with factor loadings greater than 0,35 were ed. This instrument’s reliability was verified using internal consistency (total item correlation >0,30 and Cronbach alpha = or > 0,70)). Results: 562 dentists participated in the study. In the factor analysis, ten factors were kept, which explain 40,95% of the total variation. Regarding the internal consistency, only 3 items presented insufficient correlation. Also on internal consistency, using Cronbach’s alpha, the following values of the coefficients were identified: Access (0.55), Continuity (0,74), Care Coordination (0,55), Coordination – Information System (0.21), Comprehensiveness of Services Available (0,91), Comprehensiveness of Services Provided (0,79), Family Orientation (0.66), Community Orientation (0,87), Cultural Competence (0,81). For the success ratio of the scale, all results were higher than 88%, less the “Information Systems” component (21%). Conclusion: The instrument has adequate psychometric properties and was appropriate for use in the evaluation of dental services in PHC.
