Temel Yas Unsurları Ölçeği Türkçe Formunun Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric features of the Turkish version of The Nurses' Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients (NOSGER), to expose its factor structure and to evaluate its validity and reliability. Methods:The study was carried out among 273 residents (180 women, 93 men; aged 60-96) in a nursing home in Izmir. In the study, the NOSGER, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Standardized Mini-Mental Test (SMMT) were used as data collection tools. Internal consistency, item-total score correlations and reliability correlation between the interviewers were calculated to assess the reliability of the scale. Its validity was examined by correlation between the scales. Results: Reliability coefficient between the interviewers of the scale, which had a high internal consistency (0.89), was found to be 0.90. A strong relationship was observed between the NOSGER memory subscale and the SMMT. In factor analysis of the scale, two factors were acquired and it was confirmed that those two factors were related to SMMT and GDS. Conclusion: IIt was determined that the Turkish version of the NOSGER was a valid and reliable tool that could be used in the area. (Archives of Neuropsychiatry 2011; 48: 135-9)

Evaluation of the Relationship between Major Depressive Disorder and Bereavement Symptoms in Elderly Patients Who Present Either to Psychiatry or Family Medicine

“…The original of the scale was administered to 158 adults with experience of loss, and the Cronbach α coefficient was found to be 0.91. A Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Selvi et al (22), and the internal consistency Cronbach α value was found to be 0.94.…”

Turkish Version of the Traumatic Grief Inventory-Self Report (TGI-SR): Validity and reliability

“…The scale evaluates the physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms experienced by bereaved people. Another widely used scales adapted into Turkish are the 70-item TTBQ (Ayaz et al, 2014), 21-item TRIG (Yildiz & Cimete, 2011), and the 17-item Core Bereavement Items (Selvi et al, 2011). However, none of these tools has been included in the recent diagnostic criteria of PCBD.…”
