Publication Metadata only Validity and Reliability of the Child Feeding Questionnaire in School-Aged Children(AVES PRESS LTD, 2017) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Erdim, Leyla; Ergun, Ayse; Kuguoglu, SemaObjective: The aim of this study was to test the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ), which was revised by Birch et al. in 2001. Methods: The study sample included parents of 495 students who were studying in the third, fourth, and fifth grades of three public elementary schools located in Fatih district of Istanbul. Data were collected using CFQ, which was developed for measuring families' beliefs, approaches, and practice regarding child nutrition. The questionnaire includes seven sub-dimensions and 31 items. For reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficients of the CFQ sub-dimensions, test-retest coefficient, and the item-total correlation coefficient were calculated. Content and construct validity were also tested. Results: The internal consistency of sub-dimensions was between 0.59 and 0.81, while the test-retest reliability was between 0.41 and 0.64 and item-total correlation coefficients were between 0.39 and 0.70. It was determined that expert opinions regarding the items were consistent. Construct validity of the 30-item CFQ, which included seven sub-dimensions, was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Fit indices obtained from the initial CFA were not satisfactory. After modifying the error variance between items 8-9, 21-22, and 23-24, CFA was repeated, and satisfactory fit indices were found. Factor loadings of all items were between 0.31 and 0.84. Conclusion: The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, item analysis, content validity, and DFA results indicated that CFQ is valid and reliable and can be used for measuring parents' perceptions and worries regarding their children's obesity predisposition and nutrition practices.Publication Metadata only The Family Management of Childhood Chronic Conditions: Measurement in a Turkish Sample(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Ergun, Ayse; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Erol, Saime; Gur, Kamer; Kolac, Nurcan; Kadioglu, HasibePurpose: The principal aim of this study was to adapt the FaMM into the Turkish language and test its validity and reliability. Design and methods: Data were collected from a total of 395 parents of children with chronic disease. The FaMM was translated using the translation and back-translation method. The reliability analysis of the FaMM was performed using Cronbach alpha coefficients, item-total correlations and test-retest correlations. Construct validity for the scale was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Results: The overall content validity index was 95%, signifying that the FaMM has good content validity. The CFA of the Turkish version of the FaMM did not confirm the original factorial structure. The model of three subscales for the Turkish FaMM was validated using EFA. The values of >= 0.70 for the Cronbach alpha coefficient, >0.25 for the item-total correlations and >0.40 for the test-retest application correlations for 2 weeks were found to be acceptable levels for the instruments and its subscales. Conclusions: The FaMM was found to be valid, reliable and appropriate for Turkish culture and psychometric characteristics were satisfactory. Practice implications: The FaMM can be used in evaluating the management of illness in families with children with chronic disease. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Method: This descriptive research was conducted with 525 university students. The data were collected with an identifier form, eating attitude test (EAT-40) and self-efficacy scale. In order to evaluate data, descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The mean score of the EAT-40 was 17.91 +/- 11.10. There was a statistically significant difference (z=-2.39, p=0.01) between the mean EAT-40 score of female students (18.67 +/- 11.30) and male students (16.79 +/- 10.73). The rate of students with EAT-40 score over 30 were found as 7.1% in the 18-19 age group, 10.9% in the 20-21 age group and 17.6%in the 22-24 age group (x(2) = 7.732; p<0.05). The eating disorder risk of the over weight and obese students was two times more than the students with normal weight, while the eating disorder risk of the weak students was 2.9 times lower than the students with normal weight. There was no difference between the mean self-efficacy score of the ones whose EAT40 score was over 30 and under 30. Conclusions: The students being overweight and obese, being not happy about their weights, being on a diet and stating that their nutrition would be affected in case of stress were found at risk in terms of the eating disorder.
