This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) (Williams et al., 2012), among a Turkish sample. The study was conducted with 127 (97 women, 30 men) university students. Participants are in the 19-29 age range (Mage = 20.97, SD = 1.67). 81 of the participants (59.6%) reported that they were licenced athletes before. The questionnaire that consists of three subscales (internal-visual imagery, external-visual imagery, kinesthetic imagery), was developed to assess the imagery ability of individuals towards certain basic movements. The participants were asked to rate the level of ease/difficulty of the imagery task of these movements on a 7-point scale (1 = very hard to see/feel; 7 = very easy to see/feel). The results showed that the goodness of fit indices was satisfactory, (χ2(48) = 72.10 p = .01, CMIN/DF = 1.50, CFI = .94, TLI = .92, SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .06 (90 % CI = 0.06-0.07). 0.75 CR and 0.43 AVE values for the internal-visual imagery subscale, 0.76 CR and 0.46 AVE values for the external-visual imagery subscale, and 0.84 CR and 0.57 AVE values for the kinesthetic imagery subscale was obtained. In conclusion, we suggest that the Turkish version of the "MIQ-3" has good psychometric properties in measuring individuals' imagery ability.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a deadly, never-before-seen epidemic that is spreading rapidly around the world. This epidemic affected the whole society, especially health workers, both physiologically and psychologically. In this context, our study aimed to examine the difficulties faced by our healthcare professionals working under difficult conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose, a semi-structured questionnaire was created and qualitative interviews were conducted with 8 health personnel. As a result of the study, it was determined that the factor that the participants experienced the most difficulty during the Covid-19 period was related to the changes in working conditions. It was revealed that these factors were followed by the psychological problems experienced by the participants in this period and the excessive workload.
