This scale development study aimed to identify the level of COVID-19 impact on the psychology of adults during or after the pandemic. The study group consisted of 1604 individuals for the first stage and 597 individuals for the second stage, who were reached online through convenience sampling method. After the exploratory factor analysis performed on the 50-item pilot survey, a three-factor structure was obtained explaining 60.96% of the total variance. The load values of the items in the “Dejection” sub-dimension were between 0.65 and 0.82, in the “Anxiety” sub-dimension between 0.59 and 0.77 and in the “Frustration” sub-dimension between 0.70 and 0.76. In the reliability analysis, the Cronbach Alpha value for the whole scale was found to be 0.93, and the Cronbach Alpha values for the subscales were found to be Dejection = 0.94, Anxiety = 0.81 and Frustration = 0.83. For similar criterion validity, the survey was applied to 597 new participants and the Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient between the “COVID-19 Psychological Impact Scale” and the “Depression Anxiety Stress Scale” was found to be 0.71. A confirmatory factor analysis was carried out with the new data set from 597 participants and the goodness of fit index values obtained showed that the model was acceptable and/or perfect compatible. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that the “COVID-19 Psychological Impact Scale” is a valid and reliable scale applicable to adults aged 18 and over.
Bu araştırmanın amacı, ergenlerin kıskançlık düzeylerini ölçebilmek amacıyla geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Elde edilen veriler üzerinde açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Uygulanan faktör analizi sonucu özdeğeri 1'in üzerinde olan, en az üç maddeye sahip ve toplam varyansın %59,51'ini açıklayan 6 faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Güvenirlik çalışmalarında ise iç tutarlık katsayıları; tüm ölçek için .920, alt ölçekler için ise sırasıyla .904, .833, .634, .711, .709 ve .659 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Test tekrar test sonucuna göre hem tüm ölçeğin hem de ölçeğin alt boyutlarının birinci ve ikinci uygulaması arasında yüksek düzeyde, pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Aynı veri seti üzerinden DFA yapılmış ve uyum indeksi değerlerinin kabul edilebilir derecede uyumlu olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadınlarda alkol ve madde kullanımının altında yatan çevresel, ailesel ve ruhsal etmenleri saptamakla birlikte alkol/madde bağımlılığı tedavisine başvuruda ve tedaviyi sürdürmede kişisel ve çevresel engellerle ilgili faktörleri belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, nitel veri toplama yöntemlerinden odak grup görüşmeleri yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma Erenköy Ruh ve Sinir Hastalıkları Eğitim Araştırma Hastanesi'nde altı bağımlı kadının katılımı ile gerçekleşmiştir. Kadınların alkol/madde kullanımına başlama ve bağımlı olma nedenlerine bakıldığında; aile ve yakın çevre etkisi, travmatik yaşantılar ve eşlik eden ruhsal
This research is a scale development study to determine the level of destruction that COVID-19 has created on the psychology of individuals in the 18-50 age group. Data were collected by convenience sampling method, which allowed us to reach total 1604 participants, aged between 18 and 50 years, from 7 regions in Turkey. At the end of exploratory factor analysis performed on a 60-item pilot form, a two-factor structure was obtained explaining 61.74% of the total variance. The “Collapse” dimension has 14 items and the “Fear” dimension has 4 items. Load values of the items in the “Collapse” dimension are between 0.700 - 0.855 and the load values of items in the "Fear" dimension are between 0.736 - 0.797. While the reliability analysis showed a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.951 for the whole scale, the Cronbach's Alpha values for the dimensions were 0.937 and 0.791, respectively. A survey was implemented with 597 new participants for convergent and discriminant validity, and the Pearson Moments Product Correlation coefficient between the developed “COVID-19 Psychological Destruction Scale” and “Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS)” was found to be 0.748. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the new data set with 597 participants and the goodness of fit index values obtained showed that the model perfectly fit. The result of the research reveals that the “COVID-19 Psychological Destruction Scale” is a valid and reliable scale that can be applied to individuals aged 18-50.
