Psychometric Evaluation of the Turkish Version of the Housewives Burnout Questionnaire (CUBAC)

Abstract

Considering burnout experience among different individuals, investigating and evaluating burnout are continuing concerns within the literature. In recent years, housewives’ burnout has been examined in the literature. The present aim is to examine the psychometric properties of the Housewives Burnout Questionnaire (CUBAC) with Turkish housewives. By collecting two different data set from Turkish housewives, the study is designed in two phases; pilot study (n= 139) to identify factorial structure, and reliability and validation study (n= 509) to examine factorial structure and validity of the CUBAC. First, in addition to satisfactory internal consistency and item-total correlation coefficients, the factorial structure of the scale was two-dimensional based on Velicer’s minimum average partial correlation, Horn’s parallel analysis, and factor analyses. Second, the two-factor model of the CUBAC (boring and tiring home environment and lack of support) was corroborated by confirmatory factor analysis. Also, the CUBAC statistically significant correlation with conceptually related constructs (perceived stress and satisfaction with life) was significant that demonstrated concurrent validity. Validity and reliability findings were discussed in relevant literature.

Ev Hanımlarında Tükenmişlik Ölçeğinin (EHTÖ) Türkçe Versiyonunun Psikometrik Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Farklı bireyler arasında tükenmişlik deneyimi göz önüne alındığında, tükenmişliğin araştırılması ve değerlendirilmesi literatürde endişe konusudur. Son yıllarda, literatürde ev hanımlarında tükenmişlik incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada amaç, Ev Hanımlarında Tükenmişlik Ölçeği'nin (EHTÖ) psikometrik özelliklerini, Türk ev kadınlarında incelemektir. Türk ev hanımlarından iki farklı veri seti toplayarak, çalışma iki aşamada düzenlenmiştir; EHTÖ’nün faktör yapısı ve güvenirliğini incelemek için kalibrasyon çalışması (n = 139), ölçeğin faktör yapısı ve geçerliğini incelemek için geçerlik çalışması (n = 509). İlk olarak, tatmin edici iç tutarlılık ve madde-toplam korelasyon katsayılarının yanı sıra, ölçeğin faktör yapısı Velicer’ın minimum ortalama kısmi korelasyonuna, Horn’un paralel analizine ve faktör analizine bağlı olarak iki faktörlü çıktı. İkinci olarak, EHTÖ'nün iki faktörlü modeli (sıkıcı ve yorucu ev ortamı ve destek eksikliği) doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile desteklendi. Ayrıca, kavramsal olarak ilişkili yapılar ile EHTÖ’nün istatistiki olarak anlamlı korelasyonu (algılanan stres ve yaşamdan memnuniyet) eşzamanlı geçerliğini ortaya koydu. Geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik bulguları ilgili literatürde tartışıldı.
