Abstract

AIM: This study was conducted using methodological approaches for the adaption of the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) developed in USA to the type 2 diabetic patients in the Turkish society. METHOD: The sample of this research, the validity and reliability study, consisted of 80 type 2 diabetic patients who had applied to the diabetes polyclinics of two training hospitals. During the data collection process of the study the following instruments were used: Acceptance of Illness Scale and Socio-Demographic and Diabetes Questionnaire. Validity and reliability analyses were used for the assessment of the study data. RESULTS: The validity and reliability of Acceptance of Illness Scale in the diabetic patients in the Turkish society were found to be high (Cronbach�s Alpha=0,79; test-retest r=0,71). Scale item mean scores between the 2,53 and 4,38, the item-total correlations ranged 0,45 to 0,77 and was found to be significant. CONCLUSION: The validity and reliability of Acceptance of Illness Scale has been determined. Establishing the factors that determine the acceptance levels and assessing the acceptance level in our country will enable individulas to receive holistic treatment and psychosocial adaptation.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışma, Felton ve Revenson tarafından 1984 yılında Amerika�da geliştirilen Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS)-Hastalığı Kabul Ölçeğinin, Türk toplumundaki diyabetik (tip 2) bireylere uyarlanması amacıyla metodolojik olarak yapılmıştır. YÖNTEM: Araştırmanın örneklemini iki üniversite hastanesinin diyabet polikliniklerine başvuran 80 tip 2 diyabetli birey oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın veri toplama sürecinde Hastalığı Kabul Ölçeği (Acceptance of Illness Scale) ile Sosyo-Demografik ve Diyabete İlişkin Soru Formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Hastalığı Kabul Ölçeği�nin (Acceptance of Illness Scale) Türk toplumundaki diyabetik bireyler için geçerlik ve güvenirliği yüksek bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin iç ölçüt geçerliliğini sağladığı (t=22,139, p= ,000), zamana karşı değişmezliğinin (r=0,71, p= ,000) ve iç tutarlılığının yüksek (Cronbach Alfa= 0,79) olduğu saptanmıştır. Ölçek maddelerinin puan ortalamasının 2,53 ile 4,38 arasında, madde toplam puan korelasyonlarının ise 0,45-0,77 arasında değiştiği ve anlamlı olduğu saptanmıştır. SONUÇ: Felton ve Revenson tarafından 1984 yılında Amerika�da geliştirilen Acceptance of Illness Scale-Hastalığı Kabul Ölçeği�nin Türk toplumu için geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu saptanmıştır. Ülkemizde de diyabetli bireylerin hastalığı kabul düzeyinin ölçülmesi ve kabul düzeyini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi, bireylere bütüncül bakım verilmesine ve psikososyal uyuma olanak sağlayacaktır.
