Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı yetişkinlerde Yaşam Alanı Değerlendirme (LSA) Türkçe versiyonunun güvenilirliğini ve geçerliliğini belirlemekti.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya ortalama yaşı 72.81±7.63 olan yüz elli iki yaşlı birey alındı. İleri-geri çeviri işlemini takiben, LSA skorlarının eşzamanlı geçerliliğini test etmek için Yaşlılar İçin Fiziksel Aktivite Ölçeği (PASE) ve 36 Maddeli Kısa Form Sağlık Anketi (SF-36) dâhil olmak üzere bir dizi hareketlilik ve genel sağlıkla ilgili değişkenler ile karşılaştırıldı.
Sonuçlar: LSA'daki maddelerin hiçbiri değiştirilmedi. İlk değerlendirme için Cronbach α katsayısı 0,714 idi. Test-tekrar test güvenilirliği için sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı 0,991 ve % 95 güven aralığı 0,986-0,994 idi. En yüksek tutarlılığın ekipman puanlarında elde edildiği gözlendi. LSA'nın tüm alt puanlarının PASE puanları ve SF-36 alt puanları ile anlamlı bir ilişkisi olduğu bulundu. LSA ve PASE’in toplam puanları arasında çok güçlü bir pozitif korelasyon bulundu (r = 0.896). Benzer şekilde, SF-36'nın alt fiziksel fonksiyon ile LSA kompozit puanı arasında çok güçlü bir korelasyon gözlendi (r = 0.841).
Tartışma: Çalışmanın sonuçları, LSA'nın Türkçe versiyonunun güçlü ölçüm özelliklerine sahip olduğunu ve LSA'nın yaşlı bireylerin genel sağlık ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ile ilgili yaşam alanlarını değerlendirmek için hassas bir araç olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu nedenle LSA Türkçe versiyonu yaşlı bireylerle ilgili araştırma ve uygulama alanları için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olarak kullanılabilir.

THE CULTURAL ADAPTATION, VALIDATION, AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE LIFE SPACE ASSESSMENT

Öz

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Life Space Assessment (LSA) in older adults.
Methods: A hundred fifty-two elderly people with a mean age was 72.81±7.63 years recruited to the study. Following the forward-backward translation procedure, the LSA scores were compared with a number of mobility and general health related variables, including the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to test the concurrent validity.
Results: None of the items in the LSA were changed. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.714 for the initial evaluation. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the test-retest reliability was 0.991 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.986–0.994. It found that the highest consistence was obtained in the equipment scores. All the subscores of LSA found to have a significant relationship with PASE scores and SF-36 subscores. A very strong positive correlation found between the total score of LSA and PASE (r = 0.896). Similarly, a very strong correlation observed between SF-36's subscore physical function, and LSA composite score (r = 0.841). Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the Turkish version of LSA has strong measurement features and that the LSA is a sensitive tool for assessing the life domains of elderly individuals related to their general health and physical activity level. Therefore, the Turkish version of the LSA could be used as a reliable and valid scale in research and practice areas related to elderly people.
