Minnettarlık duygusunun yaşam ve iş alanında bilişsel, psikolojik ve sosyal birçok etkilerinin olduğu ifade edilmektedir. Bu noktadan hareketle sağlık hizmetleri alanında minnettarlık kavramının önemli etkilerinin olabileceği değerlendirilmektedir. Bu düşünceyle bu çalışmanın amacı Youssef-Morgan, van Zyl, vd. Ahrens (2022) tarafından geliştirilen iş minnettarlık ölçeğinin Türkçe diline adaptasyonunun yapılmasıdır. Bu çalışma bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde tabakalı örneklem metodu kullanılarak elde edilen 343 sağlık çalışanına uygulanmıştır. Veri toplamada anket metodu kullanılmıştır. Youssef-Morgan vd. (2022) tarafından geliştirilen ölçeğin geçerliliği değerlendirilirken kapsam geçerlilik indeksi, açıklayıcı faktör ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri kullanılırken, güvenilirlik analizinde bileşik güvenilirlik katsayısı ve Cronbach Alfa katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Analizler SPSS 26 ve AMOS 24 yazılımı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Youssef-Morgan vd. (2022) tarafından geliştirilen İş Minnettarlık Ölçeğinin Türkçe adaptasyonunun sağlık çalışanlarında geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Türkçe İş Minnettarlık Ölçeğinin sağlık çalışanlarına yönelik çalışmalarda kullanılabileceği değerlendirilmektedir. Ayrıca ölçeğin kapsamı göz önüne alındığında diğer iş alanlarında da kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Öz

The feeling of gratitude is stated to have many cognitive, psychological, and social effects in life and business. From this point, gratitude can have important effects in healthcare. This study aims to adapt the work gratitude scale developed by Youssef-Morgan et al. (2022) into Turkish. This study was applied to 343 healthcare professionals recruited in a training and research hospital with the stratified sampling method. The survey method was used to collect data. While the content validity index, explanatory factor, and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the scale's validity developed by Youssef-Morgan et al. (2022), the composite reliability coefficient and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient were used in the reliability analysis. Analyzes were performed using SPSS 26 and AMOS 24 software. The Turkish adaptation of the Work Gratitude Scale developed by Youssef-Morgan et al. (2022) was determined to be a valid and reliable measurement tool for healthcare workers. Turkish The Work Gratitude Scale is evaluated to be used in studies on healthcare professionals. Considering the scope of the scale, it is thought to be used in other business areas.
