Abstract

The aim of this study is to adapt the Parental Stress Scale developed by Berry and Jones (1995) to Turkish parents. The study was carried out with 534 parents. The scale’s validity was examined with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The discrimination, difficulty, and informativeness of the items were examined using the Item Response Theory. Independent samples t-test between the lower and upper 27% scores was performed to test the discrimination of the scale. It has been found that there was a negative relationship between the Parental Stress Scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale scores, and a positive relationship between the Parental Stress Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale scores. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale and subscales were found to be between .70 and .81 respectively. The results showed that Parental Stress Scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring parental stress level of Turkish parents.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Berry ve Jones (1995) tarafından geliştirilen Ebeveyn Stres Ölçeği'nin Türk ebeveynlere uyarlanmasıdır. Çalışma 534 ebeveyn ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçeğin geçerliliği, açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmiştir. Maddelerin ayırt ediciliği, güçlüğü ve bilgilendiriciliği Madde Cevap Kuramı kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin ayırt ediciliği, ayrıca alt ve üst % 27 puanları arasındaki fark bağımsız gruplar t-testi yapılarak sınanmıştır. Ebeveyn Stres Ölçeği ile Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği puanları arasında negatif, Ebeveyn Stres Ölçeği ile Algılanan Stres Ölçeği puanları arasında pozitif yönde ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. İç tutarlılık katsayısının ölçeğin tamamı ve alt ölçekler için .70-.81 arasında olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu bulgular, Ebeveyn Stres Ölçeği'nin Türk ebeveynlerin stres düzeyini ölçmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir.
