Abstract

Background: MIND diet is a nutritional model that has positive effects on neurological diseases, cognitive function and mental health, as it contains nutrients with antioxidant properties. The MIND diet scale was developed to evaluate the diet's adherence with the MIND nutritional model principles. Objectives: This study aimed to adapt the MIND Diet Scale into Turkish and assess validity, reliability of the scale in the Turkish population. Method: Language adaptation of the scale was provided and the serving sizes in the scale items were adapted to our country. Then, the scale was applied to volunteer participants aged 18 and over. The data of 150 participants were analyzed. Content, concurrent validity and reliability of the scale was tested. Cronbach’s α (internal consistency) and test-retest reliability were used to assess the reliability. Results: The Cronbach's Alpha value of the 15-item MIND diet scale was 0.626 and the scale was found to have moderate reliability. Test and retest correlation also shows that the MIND diet scale is a reliable scale (r=0.591; p<0.001) The MIND diet scale mean score was 7.17±2.13 points. Finally, it was found that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between MIND total scores, Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale and DASH diet index scores. Conclusion: This study is the first to evaluate the validity and reliability of the MIND diet scale in Turkish population. Study results showed that the scale was valid and moderately reliable tool.

Nörodejenerasyonun Geliştirilmesinde MIND Diyet Ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye Uyarlanması, Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Giriş: MIND diyet, antioksidan özelliklere sahip besinleri içermesi nedeniyle nörolojik hastalıklar, bilişsel işlev ve mental sağlık üzerinde olumlu etkileri olan bir beslenme modelidir. MIND diyet ölçeği, diyetin MIND beslenme modeli ilkelerine uygunluğunu değerlendirmek için geliştirilmiştir. Amaç: Bu çalışmada MIND Diyet Ölçeği'nin Türkçe'ye uyarlanması ve ölçeğin Türk toplumunda geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Ölçeğin dil uyarlaması sağlanmış ve ölçek maddelerindeki porsiyon boyutları ülkemize göre uyarlanmıştır. Türkçe uyarlama ve kapsam geçerliliğinden sonra ölçek 18 yaş ve üzeri gönüllü katılımcılara uygulanmıştır. Çalışma 150 katılımcı ile tamamlanmıştır. Ölçeğin eş zamanlı geçerliliği ve güvenirliği test edilmiştir. Güvenilirliği değerlendirmek için Cronbach α (iç tutarlılık) ve test-tekrar test güvenilirliği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: 15 maddelik MIND diyeti ölçeğinin Cronbach Alpha değeri 0,626 olup ölçeğin orta düzeyde güvenilirliğe sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Test-tekrar test korelasyonu da MIND diyeti ölçeğinin güvenilir bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir (r=0,591; p<0,001). MIND diyeti ölçeği puan ortalaması 7,17±2,13’tür. Son olarak MIND diyet ölçeği toplam puanı, Akdeniz Diyeti Uyum Ölçeği ve DASH diyet indeksi puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışma MIND diyeti ölçeğinin Türk toplumunda geçerlik ve güvenirliğini değerlendiren ilk çalışmadır. Araştırma sonuçları ölçeğin geçerli ve orta derecede güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir.
