Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı Birikimli Travma Ölçeği Kısa-Formu’nun (BTÖ-K) Türkçe formunun güvenirlik ve geçerlik ölçütlerini incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemini 18 yaşından büyük ve en az bir travmatik yaşantıya sahip olan 384 katılımcı oluşturmuştur. Ölçek paketi BTÖ-K’nin hazırlanan Türkçe formu ile BTÖ-K’nin eş zamanlı ve ayırt edici geçerliğini değerlendirmek üzere kullanılan ölçeklerden oluşmuştur. BTÖ-K geçerlik testi için korelasyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Güvenirliğini değerlendirmek için ise, yargıcılar arası güvenirlik ve iç güvenirlik analizleri yürütülmüştür. Yargıcılar arası güvenirlik analizi ile dört alt ölçek tanımlanmıştır ve tanımlanan alt ölçekler için uzlaşma istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı (κ = [.33, .77]) bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin Cronbach alfa katsayısı tüm örneklem için .74 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Eş zamanlı geçerlik analizleri hem BTÖ-K ile Olayların Etkisi Ölçeği arasında hem de BTÖ-K ile Travma Sonrası Gelişim Envanteri arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönde bir ilişkiye işaret ederken, ayırt edici geçerlik için yürütülen korelasyon analizleri BTÖ-K ile Sosyal Uyum Kendini Değerlendirme Ölçeği ve Genel Yetkinlik İnancı Ölçeği puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığını göstermiştir. Sonuçlar, BTÖ-K’nin Türk kültüründe yürütülen travma çalışmalarında kullanılabilecek güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu göstermiştir. Uyarlanan ölçekte tek faktörlü bir yapının ve olumsuz değerlendirme birleşik puanının kullanılmasının uygun olacağı bulunmuştur.

Cumulative Trauma Scale-Short Form: Examination of psychometric properties

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the reliability and the validity of the Turkish form of the Cumulative Trauma Scale-Short Form (CTS-S). The sample consisted of 384 participants who were over 18 years old and had experienced at least one traumatic event. The scale package included the Turkish version of the scale and the scales to be used to measure the concurrent and discriminant validity of CTS-S. Correlation analyses were conducted for testing the validity of the adapted scale. In order to measure the reliability, inter-rater reliability and internal reliability analyses were conducted. Four subscales were identified by inter-rater reliability analysis and the agreement between the raters was found to be statistically significant (κ = [.33, .77]) for the defined subscales. Cronbach’s alpha value for the scale was .74. Concurrent validity analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between CTS-S and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised and a significant positive relationship between CTS-S and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory while correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between CTS-S and the Social Adaptation Self-Evaluation Scale and the General Self-efficacy Scale. Based on the result of the current study, the Turkish version of the CTS-S seemed to be a reliable and valid measurement tool that can be used in trauma studies in the Turkish culture. It is recommended to use the scale with a single-factor structure and to use a negative evaluation composite score.
