Bu çalışma, gençlerin pandemi sonrası sağlık davranışlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla Heo ve ark. (2023) tarafından geliştirilen “Dijital Çağda Gençlerin Pandemi Sonrası Sağlık Davranışı Ölçeği”nin Türkçe formunun geçerlik ve güvenirliğini incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçek; bireysel sağlık yönetimi, dijital sağlık bilgisi kullanımı, sosyal etkileşim, fiziksel aktivite ve psikolojik iyilik hâli gibi boyutlar altında gençlerin pandemi sonrası sağlıkla ilişkili davranışlarını ölçmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma metodolojik türdedir. . Çalışmaya 18-25 yaş arası 300 genç gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Google Forms üzerinden oluşturulan anket kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 25.0 ve AMOS 22.0 programlarıyla analiz edilmiştir. Uzman görüşlerine dayalı olarak hesaplanan kapsam geçerlik katsayısı en düşük 0.60, kapsam geçerlik indeksi ise 0.87 olarak bulunmuştur. Açımlayıcı faktör analizine uygunluğu test etmek amacıyla yapılan KMO değeri 0.84 ve Bartlett testi sonucu x²=2210.926 (p<0.001) olarak belirlenmiştir. Açımlayıcı faktör analizinde, standart faktör yükü 0.30’un altında kalan üç madde çıkarılmış; kalan 24 madde beş alt boyutta toplanmış ve toplam varyansın %55.16’sını açıklamıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda elde edilen model uyum indeksleri anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0.001). Ölçeğin iç tutarlılığı Cronbach alfa değeriyle değerlendirilmiş ve toplam ölçek için 0.85 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, “Dijital Çağda Gençlerin Pandemi Sonrası Sağlık Davranışı Ölçeği”nin Türkçe formunun Türk gençleri için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Scoping Review of Gamification Strategies to Support Occupational Performance in Children with Motor Disabilities

Öz

This scoping review examines the use of gamified interventions in motor rehabilitation for children with developmental disabilities, linking outcomes to ICF-CY and OTPF frameworks. A total of 30 studies were included, investigating various technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, motion sensors, and mobile applications. These studies targeted different motor disabilities and applied game-based interventions to enhance patient engagement during therapy and improve occupational outcomes. The most frequently addressed ICF-CY domains were d920 (recreation and leisure), d450 (walking), d440/d445 (fine and gross hand use), and d820 (school education), reflecting a strong emphasis on functional mobility and meaningful participation. Interventions incorporated adaptive feedback systems, real-time monitoring, and individualized difficulty adjustments. Outcomes were assessed using motor performance metrics as well as measures of user engagement and participation, with improvements observed in occupational domains including mobility, fine motor skills, and leisure activities. The review highlights that gamified interventions in pediatric rehabilitation support functional development through play-based, learning-oriented, and socially interactive tasks. Mapping ICF-CY domains to occupational performance areas provides valuable insights for guiding the development of future interventions grounded in occupational therapy principles and child-centered care.
