Adaptation of the Psychosocial Support Scale to Turkish: Validity and Reliability Study

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Psychosocial Support Scale, initially developed by Panzeri et al., into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: A methodological research design was used, following standard translation and back-translation procedures. After cultural adaptation, data were collected from adults through an online survey. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to examine whether the original one-dimensional, four-item structure was retained in the Turkish sample. Construct validity and model fit indices served as the primary outcomes. Results: The CFA supported the original factor structure, with all items loading significantly onto a single psychosocial support dimension. The model demonstrated acceptable fit indices (SRMR = .047; CFI = .994; NFI = .982; GFI = .985; TLI = .982; CMIN/DF = 1.447; RMSEA = .067). These findings suggest that the adapted scale accurately reflects the theoretical foundation of the original instrument and is suitable for assessing perceived psychosocial support. The results also demonstrate that the scale offers a concise and practical tool for use in both the general population and research settings. Conclusion: The Turkish adaptation of the Psychosocial Support Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool. Its brevity and conceptual clarity make it suitable for evaluating the extent to which individuals perceive psychosocial support from their environment.
