Abstract

Aim: Focusing, researching, identifying and producing solutions for the social health needs of university students is an important step in terms of individual and public health. The main purpose of this study is to make the Turkish adaptation of the social determinants of health scale and psychometric analyses to identify university students who are at risk for their social health needs and to solve their problems.
Method: The social determinants of health scale for university students was administered to 322 students. For the validity of the scale, content validity index, confirmatory factor analysis, similarity, and discriminant validity coefficients were used, while for reliability, item-total correlations, internal consistency coefficient, and test-retest analysis were utilized.
Results: The content validity index of the Turkish form of the social determinants of health scale for university students was found to be 0.89, and it was decided that there was a consensus among experts. The test-retest reliability correlation was 0.81 and the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was 0.71, which was found to be a reliable scale. The scale, which consists of three sub-dimensions measuring general social health needs, social health needs of university students, and promotive social health factors, was compatible with its original form.
Conclusion: The social determinants of the health scale for university students were found to be valid and reliable for Turkish culture. It is thought that it will be useful in determining the social health needs of university students.

Abstract

Amaç: Üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçlarına odaklanmak, araştırmak, belirlemek ve çözüm üretmek, birey ve toplum sağlığı açısından önemli bir adımdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçları açısından risk altında olan üniversite öğrencilerini saptamak ve sorunlarını çözmek için sağlığın sosyal belirleyicileri ölçeğinin Türkçe uyarlamasını ve psikometrik analizlerini yapmaktır.
Yöntem: Üniversite öğrencileri için sağlığın sosyal belirleyicileri ölçeği 322 öğrenciye uygulandı. Ölçeğin geçerliği için kapsam geçerlik indeksi, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, benzerlik ve ayırt edici geçerlik katsayıları ve güvenirlik, madde-toplam korelasyon, iç tutarlılık katsayısı ve test-tekrar test analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Üniversite öğrencileri için sağlığın sosyal belirleyicileri ölçeğinin Türkçe formunun kapsam geçerliği indeksi 0,89 bulunarak uzmanlar arası görüş birliği olduğu belirlendi. Test-tekrar test güvenirlik korelasyonu 0,81 ve Cronbach alpha güvenirlik katsayısı 0,71 bulunarak güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu bulundu. Genel sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçları, üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçları ve destekleyici sosyal sağlık faktörlerini ölçen üç alt boyutlu 18 maddeden oluşan ölçek orijinal hali ile uyum sağladı.
Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencileri için sağlığın sosyal belirleyicileri ölçeği Türk kültürüne uygun, geçerli ve güvenilir bulundu. Üniversite öğrencilerinin sosyal sağlık ihtiyaçlarının saptanmasında yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
