Öğe ADAPTATION OF THE LOCKDOWN FATIGUE SCALE INTO TURKISH AND EXAMINATION OF ITS PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES(Nobel Ilac, 2022) Genc, Fatma Zehra; Yildiz, Suzan; Bilgili, NaileObjective: It was aimed to adapt the Lockdown Fatigue Scale into Turkish and to analyze the psychometric properties of the scale. Material and Method: The research was carried out with 368 people aged 18 and over, whose consent was taken. Personal information form, Lockdown Fatigue Scale and Chalder Fatigue Scale were used to collect data. In the evaluation of the data, explaratory and confirmatory factor analysis for structure validity, Cronbach alpha and item test-retest were used to ensure reliability. Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the scores obtained in the scale according to psychometric properties. Results: The Cronbach's alpha value of the 5-point Likert-type, single-factor, 10-item scale was found to be 0.91. The total variance explained by the factor regarding the scale is 56.36%, the content validity index is 0.90, and the test-retest reliability value is 0.85. The correlation between the adapted scale and the Chalder Fatigue Scale was 0.75. Item factor loads varied between 0.493 and 0.884. The participants' mean scores on the scale were 30.91 +/- 9.48, and they had high fatigue. In addition, 1.3% of the participants had low, 29.6% moderate, 39.9% high, 29.2% severe fatigue. The scale score differed according to the participants' gender (p < 0.001), marital status (p < 0.001), having COVID-19 (p=0.006), place of residence (p=0.031), educational status (p=0.007), and usual compared with the current state of fatigue (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Lockdown Fatigue Scale is a valid and reliable for measuring the fatigue caused by the pandemic-related closure in individuals aged eighteen and older.Öğe Attitudes towards vaccination among parents of children aged 0-5?years: A scale development study(Wiley, 2024) Dogan, Emel; Genc, Fatma Zehra; Kaya, Emine; Bilgili, Naile; Kitis, Yeter; Kan, AdnanBackgroundVaccination is the most important public health practice for preventing infectious diseases and maintaining health. However, some parents are hesitant to vaccinate their children.DesignThis study was designed as an instrument development study.MethodsThis study aimed to develop a scale to measure the attitudes of parents with children aged 0-5 years towards vaccination and to evaluate the validity and reliability of this scale. The data were collected from 691 participants between November 2020 and January 2021. During the development of the scale, experts provided feedback on its technical, content and language dimensions. The data were analysed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for conceptual validity and Cronbach's & alpha; and item-level test-retest analyses for reliability.ResultsThe developed scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring attitudes towards vaccination among parents (Cronbach's & alpha; = 0.97, variance explained by these 28-item two factors = 62.47%).ConclusionThis scale can be used as a guide in measuring the attitudes of parents towards vaccination and determining the direction of primary health-care services based on the results of the measurement. What is already known about this topic?Vaccination plays an important role in health practice.Parents' attitudes towards vaccination affect their children's vaccination status.Increasing vaccination rates in children will contribute to the reduction of infectious diseases and mortality.What this paper adds?A new valid and reliable measurement tool for determining vaccine hesitancy has been developed.The validity and reliability of the scale of attitudes towards vaccination among parents of children aged 0-5 years were tested.The tool could be used to determine the attitudes of parents of children aged 0-5 years towards vaccination.The implications of this paperThe scale may help in determining factors affecting parents' attitudes on vaccination.The scale can generate data to guide nursing practices to increase vaccination rates.The scale can be used to influence nursing practices to increase vaccination rates and promote vaccine awareness, trust and acceptance.Öğe Development of the Turkish version of the oral health assessment tool: Methodological study(Wiley, 2023) Genc, Fatma Zehra; Cingil, Dilek; Hisar, FilizAim: This research aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Oral Health Assessment Tool for the Elderly Turkish form. Methods: A total of 262 elderly individuals > 65 years of age were included in the study. These individuals were selected from community-dwelling elderly and nursing home residents in the Konya province of Turkey. A data form containing sociodemographic information and oral health behavior was used to collect the data. In addition, the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index and the Oral Health Assessment Tool for the Elderly were used. To create the Turkish version of the tool, the form was translated and back-translated for content validity. Expert opinion was obtained for criterion validity. Last, confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed to evaluate construct validity. Test-retest reliability, interobserver reliability, and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were calculated. Results: The Tool Turkish form consisted of 10 items and two factors. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.86. The total variance explained by the items was 60.19%, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.95. The content validity index was 0.90, and Kendall's coefficient of concordance was 0.97. The correlation coefficient between the scales is 0.719. The mean Oral Health Assessment Tool for the Elderly score obtained by the participants was 5.4 +/- 4.32 (median 5, min-max: 0-17). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the tool is a valid and reliable tool to assess oral health in community-dwelling elderly individuals and those living in nursing homes.Öğe Disaster literacy levels of individuals aged 18-60 years and factors affecting these levels: A web-based cross-sectional study(Elsevier, 2022) Genc, Fatma Zehra; Yildiz, Suzan; Kaya, Emine; Bilgili, NaileTurkey is a high-risk country in terms of disasters. The knowledge and attitudes of citizens are important in reducing the impact of disasters. This study aims to determine the disaster literacy levels of individuals aged 18-60 years and factors affecting these levels. A total of 2134 individuals participated in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected using the disaster literacy scale via Google Forms. Kolmogorov Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman correlation, and linear regression tests were used for data analysis. The average disaster literacy score of participants was 35.00; 28.4% received an insufficient score, 24.3% a mediocre score, 24.5% a sufficient score, and 22.8% an excellent score. In the regression model created on disaster management, contrarily, the score differed depending on varied factors, such as residing in the Southeastern Anatolia region, having received disaster training, following disaster-related news, having a survival kit, and having earthquake insurance. Over 50% of the participants were found to have insufficient/mediocre levels of disaster literacy. It is concluded that the number of initiatives should increase to enhance awareness and readiness for disaster reduction and management.Öğe The effect of Otago exercises on fear of falling, balance, empowerment and functional mobility in the older people: Randomized controlled trial(Wiley, 2023) Genc, Fatma Zehra; Bilgili, NaileAim: This study aimed to test the effect of Otago exercises on fear of falling, balance, empowerment and functional mobility in older people living in nursing homes.Methods: This study is a parallel-group randomized controlled trial. In total, 56 individuals were stratified randomized according to age-gender. Participants were recruited from September 2021 to August 2022. Data were collected at baseline, in the 8th and 12th weeks. The researcher gave Otago exercise training to the intervention group three times per week for the first 4 weeks and applied it to the individuals, and in the next 8 weeks, the researcher visited the institution to ensure the continuity of the exercises and contacted the individuals by phone. Friedman test and generalized linear model were used in the analysis of data.Results: In the study, group and time interaction were found to be significant in terms of the Berg balance scale, 30-second sit-and-stand test, elderly empowerment scale and timed up-and-go test. It was determined that the intervention did not improve fear of falling, upper extremity strength and 6-min walk test results.Conclusion: Health personnel and administrators should have increased awareness about Otago exercises and can recommend implementation of the programme.Öğe Turkish adaptation and psychometric testing of the Awareness of Age-Related Change Scale(Springer, 2023) Genc, Fatma Zehra; Yildiz, Suzan; Bilgili, NaileAwareness of age-related change (AARC) is a multidimensional concept that evaluates the experiences of aging. Accordingly, this study aimed to adapt the long (AARC-50) and short (AARC-10) forms of the AARC scale for the Turkish population and evaluate their psychometric testing. This study included 570 individuals aged 40-92 years. The data of this study were obtained online by the snowball method. Data for this study were collected using the personal information form, AARC scale, and SF-12 quality of life scale. The form was translated and back-translated, expert opinions were obtained, and criterion-related validity, factor, test-retest, and reliability coefficient analyses were performed. Notably, the Cronbach's alpha values of the two-factor 50- and 10-item scales were 0.923 and 0.717, respectively. The correlation of AARC with SF-12 varies between 0.035 and 0.528. In addition, the test-retest reliability score and content validity index were 0.90. Regarding the results of the factor analyses for the long and short forms, the long form demonstrated good results in terms of the chi-square divided by degrees of freedom and root mean square error of approximation, whereas the short form demonstrated good results in terms of goodness (comparative, normal, and adjustment goodness-of-fit index) and standardized root mean square residual. This study found that the AARC-50 and AARC-10 scales are valid and reliable tools for evaluation in the Turkish population. In the future studies, researchers can choose the appropriate form based on the conditions of their studies.
