Abstract

Bu çalışma ile COVID-19 pandemi sürecine ilişkin stresörleri, bireylerin bu stresörlere maruziyetlerini ve stresörlere ait stres düzeylerini değerlendirmek amacıyla Park ve arkadaşları (2020) tarafından geliştirilen COVID-19 Stresörlerine Maruziyet ve Stres Tepkisi Ölçeğinin (CSÖ) Türkçe uyarlama ve geçerlik-güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Ölçek, COVID-19 pandemi sürecine ilişkin 23 stresör maddesinden ve enfekte olma, aktiviteler ve kaynaklarla ilişkili stres alanları olmak üzere üç alt faktörden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemini yaşları 19-60 aralığında değişen 154 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Ölçeğin geçerlik analizleri için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri kullanılmıştır. Aynı zamanda ölçüt bağlantılı geçerlik analizi için COVID-19 Pandemisi Toplum Ölçeği alt boyutları (pandemi duyarlılığı, pandemiden korunma ve pandemide sosyal güven) ve COVID-19’a ilişkin risk algısı değişkeni kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucu, orijinalinde üç alt faktör ve 23 maddeden oluşan CSÖ Türkçe formunda 20 madde ve enfekte olma, aktiviteler ve finansal ve finansal olmayan kaynaklar ile ilişkili stresörler olmak üzere üç faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Ölçek, COVID-19 Pandemisi Toplum Ölçeği pandemi duyarlılığı ve pandemiden korunma alt boyutlarıyla pozitif korelasyon göstermiştir ve bulgular ölçeğin geçerliğini destekler niteliktedir. Ölçeğin güvenirlik analizi için iç tutarlılık katsayısı, madde-toplam korelasyon değerleri, test yarılama yoluyla elde edilen güvenirlik katsayısı ve test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular, söz konusu uyarlanan ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu göstermektedir. Ölçeğin Türkçe formu, COVID-19 pandemi sürecine ilişkin stresörleri ele alarak Türkiye’de bireylerin ölçekte yer alan her bir stresöre ait maruziyetlerini ve stres düzeylerini değerlendirmede özgün bir katkı sağlayacaktır.

The Turkish Adaptation of COVID-19 Stressors Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

This study aimed to adapt COVID-19 Stressors Scale to Turkish. The scale was originally developed by Park and colleagues (2020) to assess exposure to stressors and stress levels related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The scale includes 23 stressor items related to COVID-19 pandemic with a 3-factor structure. The sample of this study consisted of 154 participants aged between 19 and 60. For validity analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. Also, for the criterion-related validity analysis, sub-dimensions of COVID-19 Pandemic Community Scale (i.e., sensitivity to COVID-19 pandemic, protection against COVID-19 pandemic, and social trust in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic), and COVID-19 risk perception variable were used. As a result of the analysis, 20 items with a 3-factor structure, namely infection-related, activity-related, and financial and nonfinancial resource-related stressors were obtained in the Turkish form of the scale. The scale also showed positive correlations with sensitivity to COVID-19 pandemic and protection against COVID-19 pandemic sub-dimensions of COVID-19 Pandemic Community Scale providing further support for the construct validity of the scale. Also, for reliability analysis, internal consistency, split-half test, test-retest reliability, and item-total correlation analysis were conducted. The psychometric properties of the Turkish form were acceptable, indicating that Turkish form of the scale is reliable and valid. The Turkish version would make an original contribution to the literature by assessing COVID-19 stressors, exposure, and stress levels of those stressors in Turkey.
