Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to adapt the Scale on Factors Affecting Family Engagement in Acute Care Environments to Turkish culture and to conduct a validity-reliability study in Turkish. Materials and Methods: This methodological study included a sample of 282 nurses working in acute care environments. Data were collected between March-June, 2024. The Descriptive Data Form and TheScale on Factors Affecting Family Participation in Acute Care Environments were used for data collection. Language, content validity were assessed, and Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were conducted. Cronbach’s alpha and item-total score correlation values were checked for reliability. Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin(KMO) value was 0.732 and the Bartlett Sphericity Test result was significant (χ2 =1225.920 p<0.001), indicating that the data were suitable for EFA. In repeated factor analysis, the explained total variance was 58.467%. After Split-Half Reliability Coefficient Analysis, the Spearman-Brown Correlation (r = 0.520) and the Guttmann Split-Half Coefficient value (r = 0.589), and the Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficients were adequate. CFA fit indices were at an acceptable level (CMIN/DF=3.162, RMSEA= 0.067, CFI= 0.90, TLI= 0.87, NFI=0.95, AGFI=0.94). The selected fit indices showed a good fit of the factor model and confirmed the results of the EFA. Conclusion: It was concluded that the scale on Factors Affecting Family Engagement in Acute Care Environments is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı Akut Bakım Ortamlarında Aile Katılımını Etkileyen Faktörler Ölçeği'ni Türk kültürüne uyarlamak ve Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma metodolojik bir tasarım kullanılarak yürütüldü. Örneklem, akut bakım ortamlarında çalışan 282 hemşireden oluşturdu. Çalışmanın verileri Mart-Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında toplandı. Veri toplamada Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu ve Akut Bakım Ortamlarında Aile Katılımını Etkileyen Faktörler Ölçeği kullanıldı. Ölçeğin dil eşdeğerliği, içerik geçerliği, Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapıldı. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini belirlemek için Cronbach α Katsayısı ve madde-toplam puan korelasyon değerleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ölçeğin Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin değeri 0,732, Bartlett Küresellik Testi sonucu ise anlamlı bulunmuş (χ2=1225,920 p<0,001), bu da verilerin AFA için uygun olduğunu göstermektedir. Tekrarlanan faktör analizi sonucunda açıklanan toplam varyans %58,467 olarak bulundu. Yarı-Bölmeli Güvenirlik Katsayısı Analizi sonucunda Spearman-Brown Korelasyon değeri (r=0,520) ve Guttmann Yarı-Bölmeli Güvenirlik Katsayısı değeri (r=0,589) ile iki yarının Cronbach Alfa Güvenirlik Katsayıları yeterli bulundu. DFA uyum indekslerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu bulundu (CMIN/DF=3.162, RMSEA= 0,067, CFI= 0,90, TLI= 0,87, NFI=0,95, AGFI=0,94). Seçilen uyum indeksleri faktör modelinin iyi bir uyumunu gösterdi ve AFA sonuçlarını doğruladı. Sonuç: Akut Bakım Ortamlarında Aile Katılımını Etkileyen Faktörler ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu saptandı.
