Adaptation of The Short Form of Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Scale to Turkish

Abstract

The present study aimed to adapt the short form of Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index-Toddler Scale (SEPTI-TS), developed by Van Rijen, Gasanova, Boonstra, and Huijding (2014), to the Turkish culture. A total of 214 mothers with 24–48 months-old children participated in the study. In the adaptation process, the scale was first translated from the source language to the target language. Later, in light of the expert opinions and pilot study results, the Turkish form that secured the linguistic equivalence was finalized before the primary implementation. Confirmatory factor analysis was made to determine the scale's construct validity, and the results showed that the Turkish form consisted of four sub-dimensions. In addition to factor load values, the study also used specific fit indices that indicate the model-data fit. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was calculated for each of the four sub-dimensions of the scale. Then, the reliability coefficient was .91 for the overall scale using the stratified Cronbach Alpha function. The study's findings revealed that the Short Form of Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index-Toddler Scale was adapted to the Turkish culture as 24 items in four sub-dimensions and that the Turkish form is a valid and reliable instrument to determine parents' self-efficacy.

Ebeveynlik Görevlerinde Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği Kısa Formu’nun Türkçeye Uyarlanması

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı Van Rijen, Gasanova, Boonstra ve Huijding (2014) tarafından geliştirilen Ebeveynlik Görevlerinde Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği Kısa Formu’nun Türk kültürüne uyarlanmasıdır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubuna, 24-48 aylık çocuğa sahip 214 anne katılmıştır. Uyarlama çalışmasına ölçeğin kaynak dilden hedef dile çevrilmesiyle başlamış olup, uzman görüşü alma, dilsel eşdeğerlik ve ön pilot çalışmalarıyla esas uygulama öncesi ölçeğin Türkçe formuna son hali verilmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini belirlemek amacıyla yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, Türkçeye uyarlanmış ölçeğin dört alt boyuttan oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Çalışmada, faktör yük değerlerinin yanı sıra model-veri uyumuna işaret eden bir takım uyum indekslerinden de faydalanılmıştır. Ölçeğin dört alt boyutunun her biri için öncelikle Cronbach Alpha katsayısı hesaplanmış ve sonrasında tabakalı Cronbach Alpha formülü kullanılarak ölçeğin geneline ilişkin güvenirlik katsayısı 0,91 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, Ebeveynlik Görevlerinde Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği Kısa Formu’nun 4 alt boyut ve 24 madde olarak Türk kültürüne uyarlandığı ve ebeveynlerin öz yeterliklerini belirlemede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
