MİKROBİYOTA FARKINDALIK ÖLÇEĞİ GEÇERLİLİK VE GÜVENİLİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Amaç Bu çalışmada kişilerin mikrobiyota farkındalık düzeylerini belirlemeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem Metadolojik türde yürütülen bu araştırma Eylül 2019-Eylül 2020 tarihleri arasında Isparta ili Eğirdir ilçesi aile sağlığı merkezine başvuran kişilerde yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 301 kişi katılmış olup çoğunluğu (%61,5) kadındır. Literatür taranarak oluşturulan taslak ölçek formu daha sonra kapsam geçerliliği amacıyla konuyla ilgili uzman görüşüne sunulmuştur. Kapsam geçerliliği sonucunda katılımıcılara uygulanan ölçeğe ait verilere açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular Yapılan açıklayıcı faktör analizi sonucu 4 faktörlü 20 maddeli bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğe daha sonra doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve ölçeğin iyi uyum değerleri gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirlik için hesaplanan Cronbach Alpha katsayısı 0,852 saptanmış olup iyi düzeydedir. Sonuç Çalışma sonucunda mikrobiyota farkındalık ölçeği'nin kapsamı ölçmeyle ilgili geçerli ve uygulanma metadolojisi açısından güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu saptanmıştır. Ölçeğin faktörlere ayrılmadan toplanarak kullanılması tavsiye edilmektedir.

MICROBIOTA AWARENESS SCALE VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Abstract

Objective This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the microbiota awareness levels of individuals. Materials and Methods This methodological study was conducted on people who applied to the family health center of Egirdir District of Isparta Province between September 2019 and September 2020. Three hundred one people participated in the research, and the majority (61.5%) were women. The draft scale form, created by scanning the literature, was then presented to the expert opinion on the subject for content validity. As a result of the content validity, explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis was applied to the data of the scale applied to the participants. Results As a result of the explanatory factor analysis, a structure with 4 factors and 20 items was obtained. Afterward, confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the scale, and it was determined that the scale showed good fit values. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient calculated for the scale's reliability was found to be 0.852 and is at a reasonable level. Conclusion As a result of the study, it has been determined that the microbiota awareness scale is a valid measurement tool for measuring the scope and a reliable measurement tool in terms of application methodology. It is recommended to use the scale without separating it into factors.
