This study was conducted to adapt the ‘The Leisure Constraints Scale for Campus Recreation’ developed by Powers et al. (2019) and modified by Goins (2020) for campus recreation to Turkish language and culture. The scale includes a 25-items in which university students evaluate the factors that prevent them from using and participating in sports, social and cultural activity areas on campus including "time", "management", "social support", "self-efficacy", "transportation" and "safe environment". n=195 from one university participated in the pilot study of the scale, and n=418 university students from six different universities voluntarily participated in the main study. In the analysis of the data, frequency, and percent analysis, the validity of the scale was calculated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and its reliability was calculated through the internal consistency method. The Cronbach alpha reliability criterion was used. In conclusion, the six-dimensional scale adapted for the concept of “Campus Recreation Constraints", which is as a new concept for Turkish literature, has been found to be culturally appropriate for Turkish society based on reliable and valid fit index values.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Kampüs Rekreasyonu için Serbest Zaman Engelleri Ölçeğinin Türk Kültürüne Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Öz

Bu araştırma, Powers vd. (2019) tarafından geliştirilen, Goins (2020) tarafından kampüs rekreasyonuna modifiye edilen “Kampüs Rekreasyonu İçin Serbest Zaman Engelleri Ölçeğinin” Türk dili ve kültürüne uyarlanması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçek üniversite öğrencilerinin kampüs içinde yer alan sportif, sosyal ve kültürel etkinlik alanlarını kullanımı ve etkinliklere katılımını engelleyen faktörleri değerlendirdikleri 25 maddelik bir ölçektir ve “zaman”, “yönetim”, “sosyal destek”, “özyeterlik”, “ulaşım” ve “güvenli çevre” şeklinde 6 alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin pilot çalışması için tek üniversiteden n=195, nihai çalışma için ise altı farklı üniversiteden n=418 üniversite öğrencisi çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde frekans ve yüzde analizi, geçerliliği açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile, güvenirliği ise iç tutarlılık yöntemiyle hesaplanmıştır. Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik kriteri kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak; Türkiye literatüründe yeni bir kavram olan ‘kampüs rekreasyonu engelleri’ne yönelik olarak uyarlanan altı boyutlu ölçeğin, güvenilir ve geçerli uyum indeksi değerlerine dayanarak Türk toplumu için kültürel açıdan uygun olduğu görülmüştür.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Rekreasyon, kampüs rekreasyonu, engeller, ölçek uyarlama, geçerlik ve güvenilirlik
