Development Step

This study aimed to develop an instrument for measuring the attitudes that reflect the characteristics of the pandemic (Adult Pandemic Attitude Scale (A-PAS)) and verifying its validity and reliability. This study used a methodological research design and was conducted with a development step and an evaluation step. The development step included development of preliminary items, content validity, face validity, and preliminary investigation. The evaluation step included item analysis, construct validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, criterion validity, factor naming, reliability, and completion of the final instrument. The A-PAS developed in this study consisted of a total of 20 items in five dimensions. The internal consistency of 20 items of the A-PAS, Cronbach’s α was 0.92 for 20 items, Cronbach’s α for each factor, a subscale of instrument, was 0.61~0.87 and Raykov’s p coefficient of each factor, which is a subscale of the tool, was found to be 0.60 to 0.88. Analysis of construct validity showed the results as follows: χ2 (p) = 134.05 (p < 0.001), RMSEA = 0.02, RMR = 0.02, GFI = 0.94, CFI = 0.99. The study findings suggest that the developed instrument can be utilized to measure the attitudes of adults toward pandemics, and reflect the reality of the pandemic situation. The outcomes can be used as valuable data for intervention, prevention activities, and policy preparation. The instrument will be applied in the event of a pandemic, such as COVID-19, and will be helpful in promoting the health of the people.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Beliefs Toward Mental Illness Scale (BMI) across women from the United States, Japan, and South Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. The sample was 564 women aged 21–64 years old who were recruited in the United States and Korea (American = 127, Japanese immigrants in the United States = 204, and Korean = 233). We carried out item analysis, construct validity by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and internal consistency using SPSS Version 22 and AMOS Version 22. Results: An acceptable model fit for a 20-item BMI (Beliefs Toward Mental Illness Scale–Revised [BMI-R]) with 3 factors was confirmed using CFA. Construct validity of the BMI-R showed to be all acceptable; convergent validity (average variance extracted [AVE] ≥0.5, construct reliability [CR] ≥0.7) and discriminant validity (r = .65–.89, AVE >.79). The Cronbach’s alpha of the BMI-R was .92. Conclusion: These results showed that the BMI was a reliable tool to study beliefs about mental illness across cultures. Our findings also suggested that continued efforts to reduce stigma in culturally specific contexts within and between countries are necessary to promote help-seeking for those suffering from psychological distress.

This study was conducted to determine the construct validity and reliability of the Caregiving Difficulty Scale, a tool developed to measure difficulties experienced by parents of children with cerebral palsy. To this end, a survey was conducted with 215 mothers of children with cerebral palsy, and the resultant data were analyzed. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to verify the construct validity of this scale, and the intra-item fit value was calculated for reliability analysis. Validity analysis confirmed that a bi-factor model comprising four sub-factors, Concern for the Child, Impact on Self, Support for Caregiving, and Social and Economic Strain, was suitable for the Caregiving Difficulty Scale. In addition, the reliability analysis results showed that the reliability coefficients of three of these areas, excluding Social and Economic Strain, and the reliability of the entire scale were acceptable. Therefore, the Caregiving Difficulty Scale is an appropriate tool to measure the burden of caregiving for children with cerebral palsy, and the findings emphasize the need to improve its reliability by comparing sub-factors’ reliability.

The aim of this research was to adapt the scale “Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure” developed by Gould et al. (2008) and perform its validity and reliability analyses. The research was carried out on 3 different study groups consisting a total of 474 students from various faculties of Gazi University, Turkey during the fall term of 2015-2016. Throughout the adaptation process, primarily the linguistic equivalence of the scale was investigated, and when it was seen that the scale was linguistically equivalent, the validity and reliability analyses were performed. The construct validity of the adapted scale was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis, and it was seen that the scale was consistent with the original. As a result of reliability analysis, internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found as .97, and test-retest reliability coefficient as .93. As a result of item analysis, it was determined that the corrected item-total correlation of the sub-dimensions ranged from .42 to .73. These results show that the scale is valid and reliable to measure forms of Serious Leisure. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, Gould ve diğerleri (2008) tarafından geliştirilen Ciddi Boş Zaman Envanteri ve Ölçümü’nü (Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure / SLIM) Türkçeye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerini gerçekleştirmektir.
