Annelerin Nesne İlişkileri Ölçeğinin Türkçe Versiyonunun Psikometrik Özellikleri

Abstract

Amaç: Ebeveynlerin bebeklerine ilişkin algılarının değerlendirilmesi ve bu değerlendirme sonrasında ebeveynlere destek sağlanması, bebeğin gelişimi açısından önemli sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Annelerin Nesne İlişkileri Ölçeği Kısa Formu (MORS-SF), anne ve babaların bebeklerine ilişkin algılarını incelemek, geçerlik ve güvenirliğini belirlemek amacıyla Türkçe'ye uyarlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Katılımcı grup 0-2 yaş arası çocuğu olan 528 anne ve babadan oluşmaktadır. Veriler, Eylül ve Ekim 2024 tarihleri arasında Anadolu bölgesindeki bir ilde bulunan aile sağlığı merkezlerinde yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği AFA testi olan DFA ile test edilmiştir. MORS-SF'nin test eş zamanlı geçerliliğini kontrol etmek için MaaP ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği AFA testi ile test edilmiş ve DFA gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Açıklayıcı faktör analizi, özdeğeri 1'den büyük 2 boyut ortaya koymuştur. Eşzamanlı geçerlilik çalışması, Spearman korelasyon katsayısına göre MaaP'ın MORS-SF'nin duygusal sıcaklık alt ölçeği ile .01 düzeyinde anlamlı pozitif korelasyona (r=.384) ve algılanan müdahale alt ölçeği ile .01 düzeyinde anlamlı negatif korelasyona (r=-.187) sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı duygusal sıcaklık için .799 ve algılanan müdahale için .704'tür. Sonuç: Faktör analizi ve Cronbach alfa sonuçları, MORS-SF'nin tüm maddelerinin Türk toplumunda iyi bir güvenilirliğe ve geçerliliğe sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, ölçekten hiçbir maddenin çıkarılmamış olması, tüm maddelerin Türk kültürüne uygun olduğunu doğrulamaktadır.

The Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Mothers’ Object Relations Scale

Abstract

Objective: Assessing parents' perceptions of their babies and providing support to parents following this assessment have important implications for the development of the baby. In this study, the Mothers' Object Relations Scales Short-Form (MORS-SF) is adapted to Turkish in order to examine mothers' and fathers' perceptions of their babies and to determine its validity and reliability. Methods: The participant group consisted of 528 mothers and fathers with children aged 0-2 years. The data was collected through face-to-face interviews in family health centres in a province in the Anatolian region between September and October 2024. the construct validity of the scale was tested with the EFA, CFA. The MaaP scale was used to check the test concurrent validity of the MORS-SF. The construct validity of the scale was tested with the EFA and the CFA was carried out. Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed 2 dimensions with eigenvalues greater than 1. The concurrent validity study showed that MaaP had a significant positive correlation with the warmth subdimension of the MORS-SF at the .01 level (r=.384) and a significant negative correlation with the invasion subdimension at the .01 level (r=-.187) according to the Spearman correlation coefficient. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was .799 for warmth and .704 for invasion. Conclusion: Factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha results showed that all items of the MORS-SF have good reliability and validity in Turkish society. The Turkish MORS-SF is recommended for use in early screenings to support parent-infant relationships.
