Adaptation of Teacher Retention Scale into Turkish Culture: A sudy of validity and reliability

This study involves the adaptation of Teacher Retention Scale designed by Joyce Marie Brydson Alexander (2010) into Turkish via teachers. To ensure the language validity of the scale during the adaptation into Turkish culture, translation, back-translation and expert opinion methods have primarily been used. A linguistic equivalency form has then been used to ensure the linguistic equivalency of the scale. To test the linguistic equivalency of the scale, English Language Teachers have been used at certain intervals (English-Turkish; Turkish-English) and it has been found that there are positive and meaningful correlations between English and Turkish form scores. It has been demonstrated that the scale owns a unidimensional structure with 6 sections as a result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis conducted in order to determine the factor structure of the scale. The total item correlation coefficients of Teacher Retention Scale varies from ,584 to ,769. It has been concluded that these coefficients are as expected. Besides, factor load values have been found around ,671 and ,835. For instance, Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficient has been measured (α=.889). The variation between Upper and Lower groups measured as 27% has been found meaningful. The factor structure obtained via Exploratory Factor Analysis has been verified by the outcomes of Confirmatory Factor Analysis in terms of item statistics except for item no 2 and item no 5. Confirmatory Factor Analysis suggests that the factor load values vary from ,37 to ,91. These values have been interpreted as medium and high factor loads. In addition, the values regarding multiple correlation (R2) vary from 14 to ,83. Thus, it has been found that R2 value is at high and mediocre levels. It has also been demonstrated that X2/df, RMSEA and NNFI values were not at desired levels prior to modification and that the values of goodness of fit (items 4-6) have been pulled up to desired levels following the modification. It has also been found that retention views levels correspond to “I agree” level. In conclusion, Teacher Retention Scale is a unidimensional scale of 6 items as well as a valid and reliable testing instrument. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özet Bu araştırma ile Joyce Marie Brydson Alexander (2010) tarafından geliştirilen Öğretmenin Okulda Kalma Tutumu Ölçeği’nin öğretmenler üzerinde Türkçe’ye uyarlanması çalışması yapılmıştır. Dil geçerliği aşamasında ölçeğin Türk kültürüne uyarlanmasında öncelikle çeviri, geri-çeviri ve uzman görüşü yöntemlerine başvurulmuştur. Daha sonra ölçeğin dil eşdeğerliği için dilsel eşdeğer form uygulaması yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin dilsel eşdeğerliğinin test edilmesinde İngilizce öğretmenlerine belirli aralıklarla (İngilizce-Türkçe; Türkçe-İngilizce) uygulama yapılmış; İngilizce ve Türkçe formların puanları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı korelasyonlar olduğu saptanmıştır. Ölçeğin faktör yapısının belirlenmesi amacıyla uygulanan açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri sonucunda ölçeğin 6 maddeden oluşan tek boyutlu bir yapı gösterdiği ortaya konulmuştur. Öğretmenin Okulda Kalma Tutumu Ölçeği için yapılan madde toplam korelasyon katsayılarının ,584-,769 arasında değiştiği ve bu katsayıların istenen düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca faktör yük değerlerinin ,671 ile ,835 arasında olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlılık katsayısı (α=.889) hesaplanmıştır. Alt-Üst %27’lik gruplar arasındaki fark anlamlı bulunmuştur. AFA sonucunda elde edilen faktör yapısı madde 2 ve madde 5 haricinde madde istatistikleri açısından DFA bulguları ile doğrulanmıştır. DFA sonucunda maddelerin faktör yük değerlerinin ,37 ile ,91 arasında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Söz konusu değerler orta ve yüksek faktör yükü olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Öte yandan çoklu korelasyon karesine ilişkin değerler (R2), 14 ile ,83 arasında değişmektedir. Bu nedenle R2 değerinin yüksek ve orta düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca modifikasyon öncesi X2/df, RMSEA ve NNFI değerlerinin istenilen ölçütte olmadığı; ancak yapılan modifikasyonlardan sonra (Madde 4-6) uyum iyiliği değerlerinin istenilen seviyeye çıktığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin okulda kalma tutumları görüşlerinin “katılıyorum” düzeyine karşılık geldiği görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, Öğretmenin Okulda Kalma Tutumu Ölçeği’nin toplam 6 maddeden oluşan tek boyutlu geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The Worry Domains Questionnaire was proposed as a measure of both pathological and nonpathological worry, and assesses the frequency of worrying about five different domains: relationships, lack of confidence, aimless future, work, and financial. The present study analyzed the factor structure of the long and short forms of the WDQ (WDQ and WDQ-SF, respectively) through confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 262 students (M age = 21.8; SD = 2.6; 86.3% females). While the goodness-of-fit indices did not provide support for the WDQ, good fit indices were found for the WDQ-SF. Furthermore, no source of misspecification was identified, thus, supporting the factorial validity of the WDQ-SF scale. Significant positive correlations between the WDQ-SF and its subscales with worry (PSWQ), anxiety (STAI-T), and depression (BDI) were found. The internal consistency was good for the total scale and for the subscales. This work provides support for the use of the WDQ-SF, and potential uses for research and clinical purposes are discussed.

This study aims to adapt the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire for Muslims inIndonesia. Adaptation of the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire is carried out throughthe stages: translation, providing evidence of construct validity and reliability. Evidence of construct validity was carried out by exploratory factor analysis followed by MGCFA (Multi-Group Confirmatory factor Analysis). In this study, we used a composite reliability. Subjects to reveal the factor structure of sanctification of marriage were 160 married individuals, while the subjects to test the stability of factor structure consisted of 102 husbands and 111 wives. The result of exploratory factor analysis shows that the construct of sanctification of marriage has three factors / dimensions, namely: belief, perceived sacred qualities and manifestation of God. The structure stability of sanctification of marriage was then empirically tested by MGCFA. The results of MGCFA showed that the three factors / dimensions of sanctification of marriage proved stable. The composite reliability coefficient of the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire was in a good category. Further research can be carried out to provide evidence of construct validity with predictive validity and concurrent validity of the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire. Limitations in this study are discussed further.Keywords: exploratory factor analysis, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, muslim,sanctification of marriage, scale adaptation

Qualitative Phase

Introduction Resilience has been proposed as a suitable solution to better deal with nursing students in cases of challenges but the complex and multidimensional nature of resilience has made its measurement challenging. This study aimed to develop and validate a new inventory theory-driven labeled Nursing Student Academic Resilience Inventory. Methods This study was performed with an exploratory sequential mixed-method design. In the qualitative phase of the study, individual interviews were conducted by including 15 participants to elicit the concept of resilience through purposive sampling. In the quantitative phase, psychometric analysis of the extracted items was performed using face, content, and construct validities (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses) on a sample size of 405 nursing students. Besides, reliability has been tested using internal consistency and test-retest methods. According to the COSMIN standards, beside two important indicators of validity and reliability, responsiveness and interpretability were also considered. Results A 6-factor structure (optimism, communication, self-esteem/evaluation, self-awareness, trustworthiness, and self-regulation) with 24 items were extracted in terms of the derived categories from the qualitative phase. In confirmatory factor analysis, the χ2/df ratio was calculated as 2.11 for the NSARI six-factor structure. Suitable values were obtained for the goodness of fit indices (CFI = 0.904, AGFI = 0.885, IFI = 0.906, PCFI = 0.767, and RMSEA = 0.053). In the second-order factor analysis, AVE = 0.70 indicated the existence of both convergent and divergent validities. The Cronbach’s alpha and omega coefficients were investigated as (0.66–0.78) and (0.66–0.80), respectively. The AIC was between 0.33 and 0.45 for all factors, which is an acceptable rate. Additionally, an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was obtained as .903 for the whole instrument (CI .846- .946, P <0.0001). Conclusion Multidimensional nature of resilience was supported through exploring its 6-factor structures in the nursing students’ field. This tool also showed an acceptable validity and reliability for measuring resilience in the population of nursing students.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to carry out the validity and reliability study for the adaptation of the Competencies for Disaster Nursing Management Questionnaire (CDNMQ), which was developed by Al Thobaity and others in 2016, (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26778698/) to Turkish, and to be able to use in the nursing literature. Method: This study was conducted in a methodological approach. The scale used in this study was a 10-point Likert scale with 43 items and 3 subfactors. The questionnaire was applied to 450 nurses. The validity and reliability of the scale were evaluated using the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The content validity index was measured within the scope of the internal consistency measurements, and the Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was examined for the test-retest. Results: The content validity index score was found to be 0.98. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis of the CDNMQ, it was found that the 3-factor structure of the scale was valid and the goodness of fit tests was appropriate. Conclusion: The findings have shown that the CDNMQ study is similar to the original scale and an adequate measurement tool in determining competencies in disaster nursing management.

ABSTRACT Objective: analyze and assess the psychometric properties of the subscales in the Spanish version of the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale in an elderly population in the Northeast of Mexico. Method: methodological study. The sample consisted of 329 elderly associated with one of the five public centers for senior citizens in the metropolitan area of Northeast Mexico. The psychometric properties included the assessment of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the Kaiser Meyer Olkin coefficient, the inter-item correlation, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: in the principal components analysis, two components were identified based on the 43 items in the scale. The item-total correlation coefficient of the exercise benefits subscale was good. Nevertheless, the coefficient for the exercise barriers subscale revealed inconsistencies. The reliability and validity were acceptable. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the elimination of items improved the goodness of fit of the baseline scale, without affecting its validity or reliability. Conclusion: the Exercise Benefits/Barriers subscale presented satisfactory psychometric properties for the Mexican context. A 15-item short version is presented with factorial structure, validity and reliability similar to the complete scale.

Confirmatory Factor

Inequalities between men and women in the workplace are reflected in professional sports, specifically in football refereeing. This phenomenon sometimes becomes sexual harassment, since it is a stereotypically considered male profession, in which women are a minority. In order to measure that behaviour, it is necessary to count on valid and reliable tools. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the factorial structure and the discriminant and convergent validity of the ‘sexual experiences questionnaire’, version of the Department of Defence (SEQ-DoD). Eighty-nine male football referees and ninety-four female football referees, with a mean age of 23.30 ± 4.85 years, participated in this studio conducted in Andalusia, Spain. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed using the robust maximum-likelihood estimation method. Goodness of fit was assessed and the factorial invariance was calculated to determine the stability of the model. Subsequently, the validity was confirmed. The results corroborated the validity and reliability of the questionnaire adapted to the population studied. Therefore it can be used as a research instrument.
