Transition to Home: Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the Preterm Parental Scale

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted with the aim of working on the Turkish cultural adaptation of the "Transition to Home: Preterm Parental Scale" (TH: PES) and testing its validity and reliability. Materials and Methods: Ethical approval,written permission from the hospital administration and verbal permission from the parents were obtained after obtaining permission from owner of the scale via e-mail for the validity and reliability of the study in Turkish.The sample of the study included a total of 144 parents who were at home within one day to 12 months after being treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).Within the scope of validity;the Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was calculated for test-retest using internal consistency reliability, Cronbach Alpha coefficient, item discrimination analysis and a sample of 36 people for content validity,exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis,and scale reliability. Results: Scale items were translated from English to Turkish and submitted to expert opinion for language and content validity.In consequence of the Explanatory Factor Analysis,the Kaiser Meyer Olkin value was obtained as 0.826;fit indices obtained as a result of Confirmatory Factor Analysis were obtained as (χ²/sd: 1.405; RMSEA: 0.053; GFI: 0.889; CFI: 0.950).As a result of the applied reliability analysis,the Cronbach Alpha coefficient (α) of all scale and sub-dimensions was found between 0.795-0.850. After the test-retest,the ICC coefficient was determined as 0.712 for the whole scale. Conclusion: It has been determined that it is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be easily used in determining the difficulties experienced by parents in the course of caring their preterm baby during the transition to home after being discharged from the NICU.
