TURKISH VERSION OF THE ZOOM EXHAUSTION AND FATIGUE SCALE: VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Öz

Face-to-face education activities were transferred to online environments for the last two years. It is important to determine the exhaustion and fatigue levels of students in the education performed with video conferencing systems. The validity and reliability study was conducted to measure screen fatigue of students in the risk group of “Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue Scale”. This methodological and descriptive study were conducted with 317 students. Psychometric analyses of the scale and its adaptation to Turkish were carried out. A total of 317 students, 82.3% (n=261) female participated in the research. The mean age was 20.02±1.52. The validity and reliability analyzes of the scale were determined to consist of 15 items and 5 subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated acceptable goodness-of-fit indices. The Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.89. Turkish version of the scale is an appropriate tool which can be used to measure the zoom fatigue that may occur because of the video conferencing systems used in courses in the education of students.

ZOOM TÜKENMİŞLİK VE YORGUNLUK ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYONU: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Yüz yüze eğitim faaliyetleri son iki yıldır çevrimiçi ortamlara taşınmıştır. Video konferans sistemleri ile gerçekleştirilen eğitimde öğrencilerin tükenmişlik ve yorgunluk düzeylerinin belirlenmesi önemlidir. Risk grubunda yer alan öğrencilerin ekran yorgunluğunu ölçmek amacıyla “Zoom Tükenmişlik ve Yorgunluk Ölçeği” nin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu metodolojik ve tanımlayıcı araştırma 317 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçeğin psikometrik analizleri ve Türkçe'ye uyarlanması yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya %82.3'ü (n=261) kız olmak üzere toplam 317 öğrenci katılmıştır. Yaşlarının ortalaması 20.02±1.52’dir. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri sonucunda ölçek 15 madde ve 5 alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları kabul edilebilir uyum iyiliği indekslerini göstermiştir. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa Katsayısı 0.89 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin uyarlanmış halinin güvenirlik ve geçerlik açısından iyi sonuçlar vermesi, öğrencilerin eğitiminde derslerde kullanılan video konferans sistemlerine bağlı oluşabilecek zoom yorgunluğunu ölçmek için kullanılabilecek uygun bir araç olduğunu kanıtlamaktadır.
