    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.

    Internet addiction and physical and psychosocial behavior problems among rural secondary school students
    (WILEY, 2015) GÜR, KAMER; Gur, Kamer; Yurt, Seher; Bulduk, Serap; Atagoz, Sinem
    The aim of this study was to determine secondary school students' levels of Internet addiction and the physical and psychosocial behavior problems they face while using the Internet. This descriptive study was conducted in three state secondary schools in a rural area in the western part of Turkey. This study's sample consisted of 549 students who agreed to participate, with the consent of their families, and who had an Internet connection at home. The data were evaluated using t-tests and variance analyses. In this study the students' score of Internet addiction was at medium level (mean addiction score 44.51 +/- 17.90). There were significant differences between the students' Internet addiction scores and the presence of physical behavior problems (going to bed late, skipping meals, eating meals in front of the computer) and psychosocial behavior problems (suffering from conditions such as restlessness, anger, heart palpitations, or tremors when they could not connect to the Internet, decreased relationships with family and friends, feelings of anger, arguing with parents, and finding life boring and empty without an Internet connection).
