Geçmişe Yolculuk, Anımsama Fonksiyonu: Sağlık Hizmeti Alan Grupta Bir Ölçek Uyarlama Çalışması

Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, Anımsama Fonksiyon Ölçeği’nin Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılmasıdır. Yöntem: Metodolojik tasarımlı araştırma, 18 yaş üstü 642 birey ile Ocak-Eylül 2023 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Veriler “Bireysel Bilgi Formu” ve “Anımsama Fonksiyon Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde dil, yüzey, kapsam geçerliği, yapı geçerliği ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı, birleşik güvenirlik ve yakınsak geçerlik değerleri analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 47,33±19,96 (min-maks=19-89) olup, %58,3’ü kadın, %61,5’i evli ve %31,0’ı lisans mezunudur. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeğin 43 madde ve sekiz faktörlü yapısının uyum indeksleri χ2/df=2,00, GFI=0,90, CFI=0,95, RMSEA=0,03 değerleri ile iyi uyum düzeyindedir. Ölçeğin toplam Cronbach Alfa değeri 0,966 ve sınıf içi korelasyon katsayı değeri r=0,963’tür. Ölçeğin birleşik güvenirlik değeri ölçek toplamı için 0,71 ve yakınsak geçerlik değeri 0,54’tür. Sonuç: Anımsama Fonksiyon Ölçeği’nin Türk toplumu için geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu belirlenmiştir. Yetişkin bireylerin geçmiş deneyimlerini yeniden değerlendirmelerine ve anlamlandırmalarına destek sağlayabilir. Bu yönüyle bilimsel çalışmalar ve klinik uygulamalarda kullanılabilir bir ölçüm aracıdır.

Journey to the Past, Reminiscence Function: A Scale Adaptation Study in a Group of Healthcare Users

Öz

Aim: The aim of this study was to conduct the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Reminiscence Function Scale. Methods: This methodological study was conducted between January and September 2023 with 642 individuals aged 18 years and over. Data were collected using the “Personal Information Form” and the “Reminiscence Function Scale.” Language validity, face validity, content validity, construct validity, and reliability analyses were performed. The intraclass correlation coefficient, composite reliability, and convergent validity values of the scale were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the participants was 47.33±19.96 years (min–max=19–89); 58.3% were female, 61.5% were married, and 31.0% were university graduates. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the 43-item, eight-factor structure of the scale demonstrated good model fit, with χ²/df=2.00, GFI=0.90, CFI=0.95, and RMSEA=0.03. The total Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.966, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was r=0.963. The composite reliability value for the total scale was 0.71, and the convergent validity value was 0.54. Conclusion: The Reminiscence Function Scale was found to be valid and reliable for the Turkish population. It can support adult individuals in re-evaluating and making sense of their past experiences. In this respect, it is a measurement tool that can be used in scientific studies and clinical applications
