Adaptation of The Dysmorphic Disorder-Body Image Anxiety Scale (Dd-Bias) to the Turkish Language: A Validity And Reliability Study

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this study was to adapt the Body Image Anxiety Scale for Dysmorphic Disorder into Turkish, to ensure linguistic equivalence, and to examine its factor structure. Method: The sample of the study consisted of 300 volunteer participants with a mean age of 31.40 ± 1.58 years. Data were collected using the Body Image Anxiety Scale for Dysmorphic Disorder. The construct validity of the scale was examined through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability analysis was calculated using the internal consistency coefficient and the test-retest method. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 and LISREL 8.70 software packages. Results: The results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the original two-factor structure of the scale was preserved in the Turkish version. Reliability analyses revealed internal consistency coefficients of 0.92 and 0.96 for the subscales. The adapted scale consists of 19 items and is rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that the adapted Body Image Anxiety Scale for Dysmorphic Disorder is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used within the Turkish cultural context.

Dismorfik Bozukluk-Beden İmajı Kaygısı Ölçeğinin (Db-Bikö) Türk Diline Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Dismorfik Bozukluk–Beden İmajı Kaygısı Ölçeğinin Türk diline uyarlanması, dil eşdeğerliğinin sağlanması ve faktör yapısının sınanması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini yaş ortalaması 31.40 ± 1.58 olan toplam 300 gönüllü birey oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, Dismorfik Bozukluk–Beden İmajı Kaygısı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile test edilmiş, güvenirlik analizi iç tutarlık katsayısı ve test tekrar test yöntemiyle hesaplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlerde SPSS 23.0 ve LISREL 8.70 paket programları kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, özgün ölçekte yer alan iki alt boyutlu yapının Türkçe formda da korunduğunu göstermiştir. Güvenirlik analizleri sonucunda ölçeğin alt boyutlarına ait iç tutarlık katsayıları sırasıyla 0.92 ve 0.96 olarak belirlenmiştir. Uyarlanan ölçeğin 19 maddeden oluştuğu ve 5’li Likert tipinde olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Elde edilen geçerlik ve güvenirlik bulguları, Dismorfik Bozukluk–Beden İmajı Kaygısı Ölçeğinin Türk kültüründe kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
