Abstract Objective: In this study, the aim of the present study was to validate the Turkish version of the C-PFS after translation of the original version. Design: The data were collected via face-to-face interviews using the Turkish version of C-PFS (C-PFS-T) and a sociodemographic information form. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing body weight by the square of the height. After the adaptation of the scale to Turkish language, validity and reliability analysis were conducted for the C-PFS-T. Setting: Gülhane Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases Nutrition and Diet Unit in Ankara Participants: This research was conducted with volunteer children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 16 (n 268) Results: It was concluded that the 15-item C-PFS-T was collected under 3 factors as in the original version of the child version. Cronbach α coefficient was found to be 0.878 for the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed the acceptability and applicability of adapting the version of the C-PFS-T in terms of χ2/df(=3.816), AGFI(=0.931), RMSEA(=0.082) and GFI(=0.852) fit indices. C-PFS-T total score’s median value of obese group wasn’t substantially different from normal weight group. Conclusions: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the C-PFS, which provides an assessment of the hedonic hunger status of children and adolescents with 15 items and 3 subdimensions, has sufficient reliability and validity to be applied to these subjects.

The aim of this study was to describe the validity and reliability of a Turkish language version of the CoI survey developed by Arbaugh et al. (2008). Adaptation of the survey into Turkish is described. Data was obtained from 1150 students who study in different departments and take courses through online learning. The data were randomly divided into two parts: the first part was subjected to exploratory factor analysis; the second part underwent confirmatory factor analysis. Three-factor structures of the CoI framework explained 75.28% of the variance in the pattern of relationships among the items using the first split-half sample. All three presences had high reliabilities (teaching presence = .965, social presence = .953, and cognitive presence = .972). The three-factor structure of the CoI framework with teaching, social, and cognitive presences confirmed the validity of the Turkish version of the CoI survey.

Abstract Background: This study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brunel Lifestyle Physical Activity Questionnaire (BLPAQ) and examine the cultural adaptation of the questionnaire.Methods: After the translation process, the test-retest reliability of the Turkish version of the questionnaire was analyzed with 24 (31.20±5.0 years old; 50% female) participants (2nd test was done 15 days after the first test). In addition, the validity of the scale was evaluated by the correlation between the BLPAQ and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) completed by 113 (30.59±5.40 years old; 63.7% Female) participants.Results: A powerful positive and significant correlation was found between the correlation coefficients of the BLPAQ's PPA and UPA subscales between both tests (respectively r=0.96, p<0.01; r=0.87, p<0.01). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.77 (quite reliable). The PPA subscale of the BLPAQ was positive with the IPAQ-SF's high-intensity physical activity subscale (r=0.47 p=0.00) and total IPAQ-SF excluding sitting (r=0.50 p=0.00) medium in the direction and low positive correlation with the walking activity subscale (r=0.25 p=0.024). No significant correlation was found between the UPA subdivision of BLPAQ and IPAQ-SF (p>0.05).Conclusion: BLPAQ, adapted into Turkish, is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to determine lifestyle according to physical activity level.

Teachers’ teaching approaches have become an important issue in the search of quality in education and teaching because of their effect on students’ learning. Improvements in teachers’ knowledge and awareness of their own teaching approaches enable them to adopt teaching process in accordance with their students’ learning styles. The Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI-R), which has been developed and revised in this framework, is a scale which is effectively used to define teaching approaches in different cultures. Originally written in English, the ATI-R’s validity and reliability results were very positive. The scale’s validity and reliability analyses in different languages and cultures have produced a wide range of different results. The aim of this paper is to adapt the scale in the Turkish language. Firstly, in order to handle linguistic equivalence, data collected from 40 teachers were analyzed, and then for confirmatory and reliability analyses data were collected from 485 teachers. According to the analyses, the scale has two dimensions, and under these two dimensions there are four sub-factors. Reliability and validity results in Turkish culture are also acceptable. As a result, the scale can be administered to define teachers’ teaching approaches in Turkish samples.

Aim: This paper aims to develop the Turkish version of the dental environmental stress (DES) scale that can evaluate perceived DES in Turkish dental students. Materials and Methods: A methodological study was conducted to adapt the DES scale to Turkish language in Gaziantep University, Faculty of Dentistry. The study group consisted of 392 students in the academic year 2018/19. The students were surveyed using the DES scale, translated into Turkish language. The demographic characteristics were analyzed by using descriptive statistical analyses. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity were employed to evaluate the suitability of the dataset. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to assess construct validity. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was used to predict the power of the scale. In reliability analysis, the instrument’s internal consistency and corrected item-total correlation, Cronbach’s α reliability were studied. Results: Content Validity Index of the scale items was found to have a high validity range of 0.97. Two items with an estimate value less than 0.4 were excluded and 30 items yielded five factor. Five factors having eigenvalues greater than 1.0 explained 52.299% of the total variance. Each factor showed adequate internal consistency. Factor loadings ranged from 0.46 to 0.77. In the concurrent validity, significant positive relationship was found between DASS-21 and Turkish DES. Conclusion: According to psychometric properties, the Turkish version of the DES presented good results, thus it could be a valid instrument to assess the perceived stress in Turkish dental students.

Abstract The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the school-based asthma and allergy screening questionnaireBackground: Asthma is an important public health problem affecting children, causing school absenteeism and hospitalization. The aim of this study is to assess the validity and reliability for diagnostic accuracy of the Turkish version of the asthma and allergy screening questionnaire.Methods: This study included primary and secondary school students from grades 2 to 7, and their parents or caregivers. For validity, 40 children with asthma and 39 children with allergy diagnosed by the questionnaire were used to determine the sensitivity, and specificity was calculated by using the data of 100 children without asthma and allergies. For reliability, the Spearman correlation was used for dependent groups, for validity, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was used. Results: When the questionnaire cut-off point was 2/3 for asthma, according to the student and parent form, the sensitivity was 80.0% and 82.5%, and the specificity was 56.6% and 76.8%, respectively. When the questionnaire cut-off point was 0/1 for allergies, according to the student and parent questionnaire, the sensitivity was 74.4% and 84.6%, and the specificity was 66.3% and 54.2%, respectively. The reliability of the asthma and allergy questionnaires test-retest correlation values (≥0.68) of both questionnaires were found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: According to the Turkish questionnaire of the students and their parents, questionnaire sensitivity for asthma and allergy was similar in proportion to the original questionnaire. The Turkish version of the questionnaire can be used for asthma and allergy screening in schools.
