    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, Hasibe
    Purpose: 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. All rights reserved.

    Development of an Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly (ASADE) and Its Psychometric Properties
    (KARE PUBL, 2016) ŞİŞMAN, FATMA NEVİN; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Kutlu, Yasemin
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop The Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly and determine its reliability and validity. Methods: The study sample was composed of 309 elderly participants aged 65 and older living in two nursing homes. The theoretical framework for the scale was the Roy Adaptation Model. The construct validity of the scale was tested using exploratory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed using internal consistency and split half reliability. Results: The content validity index of the scale was 98.54%. Factor analysis yielded 4 factors with eigenvalues of 1 and above, which explained 65.57% of the total variance. The alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.93. The Cronbach's Alpha values were 0.88 for the first half and 0.89 for the second half; the Guttman Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.83. Conclusion: The final scale consists of 24 items answered on a 4-point Likert-type scale. The scale is evaluated on the basis of a mean score; the lowest score possible is 0 and the highest is 3. The closer the individual's score is to 0, the higher the level of adaptation. The current study found good reliability and validity for the scale. It is recommended for use in determining the extent of adaptation difficulties of the elderly.
