Irrational Procrastination Scale is a 9-item questionnaire to assess one's level of procrastination. Respondents rate how often each statement is true of them on a 5-point scale. Items 2, 5, and 8 are reverse scored. Higher total scores indicate greater tendencies toward procrastination
Oral Health Self Efficacy Scale (OHSES)Other
An Oral Health Self-Efficacy Scale (OHSES) is a tool used to measure a person's confidence in their ability to maintain good oral health. Participants rate their confidence on a scale, for example, from "Not at all confident" to "Strongly confident" or "Strongly disagree" to "Strongly agree". Responses are summed to get a total score, with a higher score indicating greater self-efficacy in oral health.
