VÜCUT FARKINDALIĞI ANKETİ’NİN TÜRKÇE UYARLAMASI: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Amaç: Vücut Farkındalığı Anketi (VFA), vücut farkındalığı kavramını tam olarak değerlendiren psikometrik özelliklere sahip bir araç olarak tanımlanmıştır. Ölçeğin Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik versiyonu bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, VFA'nın Türkçe versiyonunun geçerliliğini ve güvenilirliğini göstermektir. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini 180 öğrenci oluşturdu. Katılımcılara VFA, Öz-Bilinç Ölçeği (ÖBÖ) ve Vücut Algısı Ölçeği (VAÖ) uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar: VFA ile ÖBÖ ve VAÖ'den elde edilen toplam puanlar arasındaki korelasyon analizi sonucunda korelasyon katsayıları sırasıyla 0,802 ve -0,753 olarak belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Açıklayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda toplam varyansın% 66'sını açıklayan 18 maddeden ve 4 alt gruptan oluşan bir ölçüm aracı elde edilmiştir. Test-tekrar test güvenilirlik katsayısı, 3 günlük aralıklarla 0.83 idi. İç tutarlılığı belirlemek için Cronbach's Alpha 0.91 olarak hesaplandı. Tartışma: Çalışmadaki bulgular VFA'nın Türkçe versiyonunun geçerli ve güvenilir olduğunu göstermektedir.

TURKISH VERSION OF BODY AWARENESS QUESTIONNAIRE: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Abstract

Purpose: The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) was described as a tool with psychometric properties that thoroughly assessed the concept of body awareness. There is no Turkish version of the scale with validity and reliability. The study aimed to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the BAQ.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 180 university students (age=21.87±2.36 years, 99 M, 81 F). The BAQ, Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS), and Body Cathexis Scale (BCS) were applied to the participants.
Results: Result of the correlation analysis between the BAQ and the total scores obtained from the SCS and BCS, and the correlation coefficients were determined as 0.802 (p=0.007) and
-0.753 (p=0.009), respectively. As a result of the explanatory factor analysis, a measurement tool consisting of 18 items and four sub-groups explaining 66% of the variance was obtained. The test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.830 at 3-day intervals. Cronbach's alpha was calculated as 0.917 to determine internal consistency.
Conclusion: Findings in the study show that the Turkish version of BAQ is valid and reliable.
