Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı iki yönlüdür: 1 “Fiziksel Aktivite Egzersiz Davranışı Değişim Basamakları” anketinin 6-8. sınıf öğrencilerinde uyum geçerliği ve güvenirliğini belirlemek, 2 6-8. sınıf öğrencilerinin egzersiz davranışı değişim basamaklarını cinsiyet değişkeni incelemektir. Katılımcılar n=334 Fiziksel Aktivite Egzersiz Davranışı Değişim Basamakları ve Haftalık Fiziksel Aktivite anketini doldurmuşlardır. Uyum geçerliği için Pearson ki-kare analizi uygulanırken güvenirlik için test-tekrar testi yapılmıştır. Ki-kare sonuçlarına göre fiziksel aktivite FA değerleri ile egzersiz davranışı değişim basamakları arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, test-tekrar testi analizi sonucu kabul edilebilir çıkmıştır. Diğer araştırma sonucuna göre ise cinsiyet ile egzersiz davranışı değişim basamakları arasında anlamlı fark belirlenmiştir. İleri analiz bulguları kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre daha düşük oranda devamlılık basamağında yer aldığını göstermiştir. Kız öğrencilerin FA davranışını devam ettirmekte sorun yaşadıkları görülmektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkçe Fiziksel Aktivite Egzersiz Davranışı Değişim Basamakları anketi 6-8.sınıflar için uyum geçerliği ve güvenirliği sağlanmıştır. İleride yapılacak deneysel çalışmalarda kız öğrencilerin FA davranışlarını geliştirmede egzersiz davranışı değişim basamakları temel alınmalı ve daha fazla FA olanakları sağlanmalıdır.

PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES AND INITIAL FINDINGS OF THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STAGES OF CHANGE QUESTIONNAIRE AMONG TURKISH

Abstract

The purpose of this study is twofold: 1 to determine the concurrent validity and reliability of the Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire among Turkish 6th to 8th grade students, and 2 to examine 6th to 8th grade students’ stages of change for physical activity PA by sex. Participants n=334 completed the Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire and One-Week Physical Activity Recall questionnaire. The Pearson chi-square distribution was used to evaluate concurrent validity, and the test-retest calculation was used for reliability. The chi-square findings revealed a significant difference in PA scores at different stages of change. The test-retest value was also calculated as acceptable. Regarding the second research question, results indicated a significant difference by sex in stages of change. Further analysis revealed that a lower percentage of girls were in the maintenance stage than boys. Girls had a problem maintaining PA behavior compared to boys. It can be stated that the Turkish Physical Activity Stages of Change Questionnaire has indicated concurrent validity and reliability of evidence among Turkish 6th to 8th graders. Future intervention studies on girls’ PA behaviors should be structured using the stages of change levels, and more PA opportunities should be made available to them
