Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Trauma-Informed Climate Scale–10 (TICS-10) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties among healthcare professionals in Türkiye. Methods: This methodological, cross-sectional study included 410 healthcare professionals working in various healthcare institutions in Türkiye. The Turkish adaptation followed translation, back-translation, and expert review procedures. Structural validity was examined using principal component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, McDonald’s omega, and Guttman’s lambda. Test–retest reliability was evaluated in 49 participants using Pearson’s correlation and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Convergent validity was assessed through correlations with the Moral Injury Symptom Scale–Healthcare Professionals (MISS-HP). Results: PCA supported a unidimensional structure explaining 50.52% of the variance. CFA confirmed this structure with acceptable fit (χ²(32) = 203.36, CFI = .915, TLI = .89, SRMR = .056). Internal consistency was high (α = .89, ω = .89, λ = .89), with CR = .91 and AVE = .51. Corrected item–total correlations ranged from .50 to .72. Test–retest reliability was good (ICC = .72, 95% CI [.20, .89]; r = .83, p < .001). Convergent validity was supported by a moderate negative correlation with MISS-HP scores. Conclusion: The Turkish TICS-10 demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity and may be useful for assessing trauma-informed organizational climate in Turkish healthcare settings.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Travma Bilgili İklim Ölçeği–10 (TICS-10)'un Türkçeye uyarlanması ve Türkiye'deki sağlık profesyonellerinden oluşan bir örneklemde psikometrik özelliklerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Bu metodolojik ve kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye'nin çeşitli sağlık kurumlarında görev yapan 410 sağlık profesyoneli ile yürütülmüştür. TICS-10'un Türkçe uyarlama süreci çeviri, geri çeviri ve uzman değerlendirmesi aşamalarını içermiştir. Yapısal geçerlik, temel bileşenler analizi (PCA) ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile incelenmiştir. İç tutarlılık Cronbach alfa, McDonald omega ve Guttman lambda katsayıları ile değerlendirilmiştir. Test-tekrar test güvenirliği, 49 katılımcıdan oluşan bir alt örneklemde Pearson korelasyonu ve sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı (ICC) kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Yakınsak geçerlik ise Ahlaki Yaralanma Semptom Ölçeği: Sağlık Bakım Profesyonelleri Versiyonu (AYSÖ-SBP; MISS-HP) ile olan korelasyonlar aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: PCA, toplam varyansın %50,52’sini açıklayan tek faktörlü bir yapı ortaya koymuştur. DFA, kabul edilebilir uyum gösteren tek boyutlu yapıyı desteklemiştir (χ²(32) = 203,36, p < .001, CFI = .915, TLI = .89, SRMR = .056). İç tutarlılık yüksektir (α = .89, ω = .89, λ = .89). Birleşik güvenirlik .91, açıklanan ortalama varyans .51 olarak bulunmuştur. Düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonları .50–.72 arasında değişmiştir. Test-tekrar test güvenirliği kabul edilebilir düzeydedir (ICC = .72; r = .83, p < .001). Yakınsak geçerlilik, MISS-HP puanlarıyla orta düzeyde negatif korelasyon ile desteklenmiştir. Sonuç: TICS-10'un Türkçe formu, sağlık profesyonellerinden oluşan bir örneklemde kabul edilebilir psikometrik özellikler göstermiştir ve Türkiye'deki sağlık kurumlarında travma bilgili örgütsel iklim üzerine yapılacak araştırmalarda kullanılabilecek uygun bir ölçme aracı olabilir.
