Abstract

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) which is used to evaluate the neglect syndrome in daily life, by adapting it into Turkish. Material and Methods: A total of 30 volunteer patients aged 18 years and over with a right hemisphere lesion were included in the study. The National Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Rankin Scale (MRS), Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Line Bisection Test (LBT), Star Cancellation Test (SCT), CBS and CBS's anosognosia questionnaire were used as assessment tools. Results: In the exploratory factor analysis, it was observed that the factor loads for the scale items varied between 0.693 and 0.914. As a result of the reliability analysis, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.998 and the intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.996, and the scale was found to be highly reliable. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool. The Turkish version of the CBS can be used in clinical and scientific research to evaluate neglect syndrome.

Catherine Bergego Skalasının Türkçe Standardizasyon, Geçerlik ve Güvenilirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, ihmal sendromunu günlük yaşamda değerlendirmek için kullanılan Catherine Bergego Skalasının (CBS) Türkçe’ye uyarlama çalışması yapılarak skalanın psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya sağ hemisfer lezyonuna bağlı 18 yaş ve üzeri 30 gönüllü hasta dahil edildi. Ulusal Sağlık İnme Ölçeği (NIHSS), Modifiye Rankin Skalası (MRS), Saat Çizim (SÇT), Çizgi Bölme (ÇBT), Yıldız Silme Testi (YST), CBS ve CBS’nin anosognozi anketi değerlendirme aracı olarak kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Açımlayıcı faktör analizinde ölçek maddeleri için faktör yüklerinin 0,693-0,914 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Güvenirlik analizleri sonucunda Cronbach Alpha Katsayısı 0,998 ve sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı 0,996 hesaplanarak ölçek, yüksek derecede güvenilir bulundu. Tartışma: Skalanın Türkçe versiyonu geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracıdır. İhmal sendromunu değerlendirmek için CBS'nin Türkçe versiyonu klinik ve bilimsel araştırmalarda kullanılabilir.
