Amaç: Kriz durumlarında stres düzeyinin değerlendirilmesinin, krize müdahale etmek için önemli bir kaynak sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 Stres Ölçeklerinin Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirliğini test etmekti.
Yöntem: Bu metodolojik çalışma, Aralık 2020 ile Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında 841 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile çevrimiçi olarak yapıldı. Veri toplama formu, katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özelliklerini, COVID-19 Stres Ölçekleri, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği, COVID-19 Korku Ölçeği ve Koronavirüs Fobisi Ölçeği'ni içermektedir. COVID-19 Stres Ölçekleri’nin Türkçe versiyonunda “Çeviriler ve Kültürlerarası Adaptasyon Süreci” kullanıldı. Ölçeğin geçerliği için kapsam, yapı ve ölçüt geçerlik analizleri yapıldı. Ölçeğin güvenirliği için iç tutarlılık ve sınıf içi korelasyon katsayıları hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 23.63±8.5’ti. COVID-19 Stres Ölçeklerinin Kapsam Geçerlilik İndeksi 0.98 olarak hesaplandı. Uzmanların önerileri doğrultusunda “yabancı düşmanlığı” alt ölçeği, ölçekten çıkarıldı. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizinde uyum indekslerinin iyi uyum ve kabul edilebilir uyum düzeyinde olduğu hesaplandı. Orijinal ölçek çalışmasında bildirilen beş faktör, ölçeğin Türkçe versiyonunda doğrulandı. Ölçek toplamı için Cronbach's α değeri 0.94'tür. Ölçeğin toplam test ve tekrar test puanları arasında güçlü ve pozitif yönde korelasyon olduğu bulundu (ICC=0.799; p=0.001).
Sonuç: Türk toplumu için 30 madde ve beş alt ölçekten oluşan COVID-19 Stres Ölçekleri, geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracıdır.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 23.63±8.5. The Content Validity Index of the COVID-19 Stress Scales was calculated as 0.98. According to suggestions of the experts, the subscale of "xenophobia" was excluded from the scale. In Confirmatory Factor Analysis, fit indices were calculated at acceptable levels and good fits. The five factors were reported in the original study of the scale, was confirmed in the Turkish version. The Cronbach's α value was 0.94 for the scale total. Strong and positive correlations was found between the test and retest scores of the total scale (ICC=0.799; p=0.001).
