ERKEN TRAVMA ENVANTERİ: ÖLÇEĞİN ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİLERİNE UYARLANMASI VE PSİKOMETRİK ÖZELLİKLERİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Erken Travma Envanteri'ni Türkçe'ye uyarlamak ve üniversite öğrencileri için geçerlik ve güvenirliğini test etmektir. Envanterin tercümesi yapılarak Türkçe forma son şekli verilmiştir. Geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri için uygulamanın yapıldığı ilk çalışma grubu 350 lisans ve yüksek lisans öğrencisi; ikinci çalışma grubunu 46 lisans öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veri analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler hesaplanmış; doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, genel travma alt ölçeğinin model veri uyumunun “iyi” olduğunu ve fiziksel, duygusal ve cinsel istismar alt ölçekleri için “mükemmel” olduğunu göstermiştir. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayıları ve test-tekrar test korelasyonları tatmin edici bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar, erken travma envanterinin erken çocukluk çağı travmasını belirlemede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir.

EARLY TRAUMA INVENTORY-SELF REPORT SHORT FORM: TURKISH ADAPTATION AND PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSIS FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The aim of this study is to adapt the Early Trauma Inventory-Self Report Short Form to Turkish and test its validity and reliability for university students. The inventory was translated, and the Turkish form was finalised. The first study group, whose data were used to conduct the confirmatory factor analysis regarding the scale, consisted of 350 undergraduate, and graduate students from 14 different universities in the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year; 270 of whom were female and 80 of whom were male. In data analysis, descriptive statistics were calculated; confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analyses were performed. Since Early Trauma Inventory Short Form is an inventory consisting of sub-scales, a separate confirmatory factor analysis was performed for each sub-scale of Turkish version. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model data fit of the general trauma subscale was “good,” and it was “perfect” for the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse subscales. Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients and test-re-test correlations were found to be satisfactory. Results show that the Early Trauma Inventory-Self Report Short Form is a valid and reliable tool to use in determining early childhood trauma.
