Bu çalışmanın amacı Burckhardt’ın
geliştirdiği yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin
geçerlik-güvenirliğini test etmek ve Türk
toplumuna adapte etmektir. İlaveten
örneklem grubunun yaşam kalitesini
değerlendirmektir.
Araştırma metodolojik ve
tanımlayıcı türde tasarlandı. Erzurum’daki
bir sağlık ocağına çocukları veya kendileri
için bakım amacıyla gelen 138 kişi
araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturdu. Veriler
araştırmacı tarafından 1 Mart – 30 Mayıs
2004 tarihleri arasında toplandı.
Araştırmaya katılanlar soruları okuyarak
cevaplarını veri toplama formuna
işaretlediler.
Principle component analizi ve
varimax rotasyonu sonucunda ölçek tek
faktörde yapılandı. Ölçeğin bütün soruları
faktör yükü kriterini sağladı ve ölçeğin alfa
değeri 0.92 olarak bulundu. Ölçeğin
varyansı %59.1 ve geçerliliği 0.80 olarak
saptandı. Toplam madde korelasyonunun da
0.64-0.78 arasında değiştiği saptandı.
Ölçeğin Türkçe versiyonunun geçerli ve
güvenilir olduğu bulundu.
