Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the validity and
reliability of the study quality of life scale. The research data was obtained
from 209 health personnel working in a public hospital in the province of
Gaziantep. 58% of the participants were female and 42% were male. 47% of
participants is single and 42% of them are married. 37% of health care workers
are between 21-30 years of age and 45% of them have an ungraduate degree. As of
working status, 46% are nurses. SPSS 21 package program and AMOS programs were
used to analyze the data. The validity and reliability scale was designed by
Cacioppe (1980, 1984) to measure the quality of life. In this study, the
cronbach alpha of the scale was found to be 0.92. Scale items were subjected to
confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of the analysis; It is seen that the
reliability value related to the development dimension is 0.70 and the mean
variance value is below 0.50 and there is no discrimination and convergent
validity about this dimension. It is seen that the data obtained related to
other dimensions have discriminant and convergent validity of the scale.As a
result, it is seen that the propositions about development dimension should be
reviewed.

Key Words: Health Workers, Work Quality of Life, Validity and

Abstract

Bu araştırma
çalışma yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin geçerlilik ve güvenirliğini belirlemek
amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma Gaziantep ilinde bir kamu hastanesinde
çalışmakta olan 209 sağlık personeli dâhilinde yürütülmüştür. Katılımcıların
%58’i kadın % 42’si erkektir. Medeni durumlarında %47’si bekâr %42’si evlidir.
Sağlık çalışanlarının %37’si 21-30 yaş aralığında iken, %45’i lisans mezunudur.
Statü olarak %46’sı hemşiredir. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 21 paket programı ve
AMOS programlarından yararlanılmıştır. Geçerlik, güvenirlik çalışması yapılan
ölçek Cacioppe (1980, 1984) tarafından çalışma yaşam kalitesini ölçmek amacıyla
tasarlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada ölçeğin Cronbach Alpha değerinin 0,92 olduğu
saptanmıştır. Ölçek maddeleri doğrulayıcı faktör analizine tabi tutulmuştur.  Yapılan analizler soncunda; gelişim boyutu ile
ilgili güvenirlik değerinin 0,70’in ve açıklanan ortalama varyans değerinin de
0,50’nin altında olduğu ve bu boyut ile ilgili ayrışım ve benzeşim geçerliğinin
olmadığı görülmektedir. Diğer boyutlarla ilgili elde edilen veriler dikkate
alındığında ölçeğin ayrışım ve benzeşim geçerliği olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç
olarak gelişim boyutu ile ilgili önermelerin gözden geçirilmesi gerektiği
görülmektedir.
