    (ELSEVIER TAIWAN, 2016-09) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Erol, Saime; Ergun, Ayse; Kadioglu, Hasibe; Gur, Kamer; Albayrak, Sevil; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Sezer, Ayse; Kolac, Nurcan
    Background: This study was conducted to adapt the ageism survey to the Turkish language and culture and to determine the frequency of occurrence of ageism. Methods: The study population consisted of 236 individuals aged 50-95 years. The cultural adaptation of the ageism survey was carried out through the method of translation/back-translation and the validity of the instrument was tested for content and construct validity; its reliability was tested by internal consistency analysis. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 64.44 +/- 9.57. The content validity index for the ageism survey was found to be 0.89 and Cronbach a value was 0.86. Item-total correlation values for all of the items were over 0.31. Of the participants, 82.5% reported being confronted with some kind of discriminatory behavior at least once. Conclusion: It was established that the ageism survey is appropriate to the Turkish language and culture and that it is a valid and reliable instrument.

    Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of Children's Somatization Inventory
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012-03) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kadioglu, Hasibe; Sismari, Fatma Nevin; Ergun, Aye
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Children's Somatization Inventory (CSI) in Turkish schoolchildren and adolescents. Methods: The CSI was translated using translation and back-translation. The participants were 813 schoolchildren, adolescents and their parents (n = 453). Content and construct validity were assessed to test the validity of the CSI-24. Internal consistency reliability, interrater reliability (child-parent agreement) and test-retest reliability were assessed to test the reliability of the CSI-24. Results: Psychometric analyses of the Turkish version of the CSI-24 indicate high reliability and good content and construct validity. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the CSI-24 is a useful instrument for measuring self-reported somatic complaints in Turkish schoolchildren and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 15.
