Abstract

Psikolojik uyum pozitif ruh sağlığı için gereklidir. Literatürde genel psikolojik uyumu ölçen sınırlı sayıda ölçüm aracı mevcuttur. Kısa Psikolojik Uyum Ölçeği-6 (BASE-6) kişinin genel psikolojik sıkıntısını ve uyumunu değerlendirmek için kullanılan bir ölçektir. Bu kesitsel çalışmanın amacı BASE-6’yı Türkçeye uyarlamak, ölçeğin faktör yapısını ve ölçme değişmezliğini incelemek ve ruh sağlığı ile ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Bu araştırmanın örneklemi 154 lisans öğrencisinden (66 kadın ve 88 erkek) oluşmaktadır. Çalışma grubunu oluşturan kişilerin yaş aralığı 18 ile 44 yaş arasında değişmekte olup yaş ortalaması 21.48’dir (SS = 4.03). Çalışmaya dahil olan katılımcılardan BASE-6, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ve Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stres Ölçeği-21’i doldurmaları istenmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analiz (DFA) sonuçları, ölçeğin tek faktörlü yapısının bu örneklemde doğrulandığını göstermiştir. Çok gruplu DFA analizi sonuçları cinsiyet grupları arasında ölçüm değişmezliği olduğunu göstermiştir. Cronbach alpha ve McDonald’s omega testleri kullanılarak ölçeğin genel faktör yapısı için yeterli düzeyde iç tutarlılık güvenirliği olduğu saptanmıştır. Yakınsak geçerlik kapsamında Pearson moment çarpımı korelasyonu, BASE-6’nın yaşam doyumu ile negatif ve anlamlı; depresyon, kaygı ve stres ile pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre BASE-6’nın yaşam doyumu, depresyon, anksiyete ve stres değişkenlerindeki varyansı anlamlı olarak yordadığı görülmüştür. Mevcut bulgular Türkiye’deki araştırmacıların ve pratisyenlerin, insanların genel psikolojik uyumunu güvenilir ve geçerli bir şekilde ölçmek için BASE-6’yı kullanabileceğini göstermektedir.

Abstract

Psychological adjustment is essential for achieving better mental health. There is a scarcity of available measures in assessing the general psychological adjustment. The Brief Psychological Adjustment Scale-6 (BASE-6) is used to assess one’s general psychological distress and adjustment. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to adapt the BASE-6 into Turkish language, to investigate the factor structure and measurement invariance of the scale and to investigate its relationship with mental health. The sample included 154 undergraduate students (66 females and 88 males) aged between 18 and 44 years, with a mean of 21.48 years (SD = 4.03). All participants were asked to complete the BASE-6, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21. The results showed that confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated that the original one-factor structure was confirmed in this sample. The results of a multi-group CFA demonstrated measurement invariance across gender groups. Using Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega (ω), internal consistency reliability was found to be good for the general factor. Concerning convergent validity, the Pearson product-moment correlation indicated that the BASE-6 had a significant negative relationship with the satisfaction of life and a positive and significant relationship with depression, anxiety and stress. According to multiple regression analysis, the results demonstrated that the BASE-6 was able to predict a significant amount of variance in satisfaction with life, depression, anxiety and stress. The present findings suggest that researchers and practitioners in Turkey can utilise the BASE-6 to reliably and validly measure psychological adjustment based on an overall score.
