Arama Kurtarmada Etik Davranış: Bir Ölçek Geliştirme Çalışması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı arama kurtarmada etik davranışı ölçebilecek geçerliliği ve güvenirliliği ispatlanmış bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada keşfedici ardışık karma yöntem tercih edilmiştir. İlk aşama madde havuzunun oluşturulması için nitel çalışma ile başlatılmıştır. 16 arama kurtarma personeli ile yarı yapılandırılmış formlar aracılığı ile mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. 38 madde oluşturulmuştur. Madde havuzunun kapsam geçerliliği uzman görüşü ile değerlendirilmiştir. Uzman yanıtlarını değerlendirmede Lawshe tekniği kullanılmıştır. Daha sonra dil ve yazım kontrolüne tabi tutulan madde havuzu 10 katılımcıya pilot olarak uygulanmıştır. Gerekli düzenlemeler yapılan taslak ölçek 330 personele uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Yapılan analizler neticesinde ölçek 10 maddeden oluşan tek boyutlu bir yapı göstermiştir. Elde edilen ölçek doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile doğrulanmıştır. Arama kurtarmada etik davranış ölçeğinin güvenirliliğini Cronbach's Alpha değerlendirilmiş ve 0.95 ile ölçeğin yüksek güvenirliğe ve iç tutarlılığa sahip olduğunu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Geliştirilen “Arama Kurtarmada Etik Davranış Ölçeği” arama kurtarma alanında faaliyet gösteren bütün bireylere uygulanabilir.

Ethical Behaviour in Search and Rescue: A Scale Development Research

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a measurement tool with proven validity and reliability to measure ethical behavior in search and rescue. Materials and Methods: The exploratory sequential mixed method was preferred in the study. The first stage started with a qualitative study to create the item pool. Interviews with 16 search and rescue personnel were conducted through semi-structured forms. 38 Items were created. The content validity of the item pool was evaluated through expert opinion. The Lawshe technique was used to evaluate expert responses. Afterwards, the item pool, which was subjected to language and spelling checks, was piloted with 10 participants. After necessary adjustments were made, the draft scale was administered to 330 personnel. Results: As a result of the analysis, the scale showed a unidimensional structure consisting of 10 items. The obtained scale was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the scale of ethical behavior in search and rescue was evaluated by Cronbach's Alpha and it was determined that the scale had high reliability and internal consistency with 0.95. Conclusion: The developed “Ethical Behavior in Search and Rescue Scale” can be applied to all individuals operating in the field of search and rescue.
