Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Subjective Health Complaints (SHC) inventory, which can be used to monitor health complaints experienced by the hospital support staff.
Materials and Methods: In this methodological study, data were collected from 240 hospital support staff working in five different hospitals in Turkey. Participants were asked demographic questions and administered a Turkish translated SHC inventory. Construct validity was confirmed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was assessed by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha and split-half reliability coefficients.
Results: The Turkish SHC inventory with 29 items showed acceptable content validity, construct validity, and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.905). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original five-dimensional structure of the scale. Model fit indices implied a good model-data fit: the normed chi-square value of 1.488 (χ2 = 513.423, df=345); error of root mean square approximation of 0.045; comparative fit index of 0.939 and standardized root mean square residuals of 0.060.
Conclusion: The findings assert the reliability and validity of the Turkish SHC inventory, and recommend its use as a suitable tool for monitoring health complaints experienced by health service workers.

Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hastane destek personelinin yaşadığı sağlık şikayetlerini izlemek için kullanılabilecek subjektif sağlık şikayetleri (SHC) envanterinin Türkçe versiyonunun güvenilirliğini ve geçerliliğini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu metodolojik çalışmada, Türkiye'de beş farklı hastanede görev yapan 240 hastane destek personelinden veri toplanmıştır. Katılımcılara demografik sorular ve Türkçe'ye çevrilmiş SHC envanteri uygulanmıştır. Yapı geçerliliği, açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile doğrulanmıştır. İç tutarlılık, Cronbach alfa ve iki yarı güvenirlik katsayıları hesaplanarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: 29 maddeden oluşan Türkçe SHC envanteri kabul edilebilir içerik geçerliliği, yapı geçerliliği ve iç tutarlılık güvenilirliği göstermiştir (Cronbach alfa = 0.905). Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, ölçeğin orijinal beş boyutlu yapısını doğrulamıştır. Model uyum indeksleri, iyi bir model-veri uyumunu göstermiştir: normlu ki-kare değeri 1.488 (χ2 = 513.423, df=345); yaklaşık hataların ortalama karekökü 0.045; karşılaştırmalı uyum indeksi 0.939 ve standartlaştırılmış kök ortalama kare hatası 0.060 olarak elde edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bulgular, Türkçe SHC envanterinin güvenilirliğini ve geçerliliğini ortaya koymaktadır ve sağlık hizmeti çalışanlarının yaşadığı sağlık şikayetlerinin izlenmesi için uygun bir araç olarak kullanılmasını önerilmektedir
