Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale (OAS) developed to assess people’s osteoporosis awareness. Materials and Methods: This methodological study was designed to investigate the validity and reliability of the “OAS” in Turkish society. This study included healthcare workers who worked in Community Health and Family Health Centers (n=346). Numbers, percentages, t-test, correlation analysis, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient, and factor analysis methods were used to analyze the data. Results: The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was 0.94 for the overall OAS and 0.86, 0.82, 0.88, 0.88, 0.85 for its bone physiology, preventive behaviors, risk factors, exercise, and characteristics of osteoporosis sub-dimensions, respectively. The exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that the scale explained 66.16% of the total variance. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, factor loadings of the scale ranged between 0.64 and 0.82, and CMIN(x2)/df was 3.384, goodness-of-fit index was 0.85, normed fit index was 0.83, comparative fit index was 0.88, and RMSEA was 0.08. Conclusion: Results indicate that the Turkish version of the OAS highly valid and reliable, which can be administered in future studies.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma ile osteoporoza yönelik farkındalığı değerlendirmek üzere geliştirilen Osteoporoz Farkındalık Ölçeği (OAS) Türkçe Formu’nun geçerlik ve güvenirliğini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma, “OAS”nin Türk toplumundaki geçerlik ve güvenirliğini değerlendirmek üzere planlanmış metodolojik tipte bir çalışmadır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemini İzmir İl Sağlık Müdürlüğü bünyesinde yer alan İzmir ili Karşıyaka ilçesine bağlı birinci basamak sağlık hizmeti veren birimlerde, (Toplum Sağlığı ve Aile Sağlığı Merkezleri), görevli olan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden sağlık çalışanları oluşturmuştur (n=346). Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzde, t-testi, korelasyon analizi, Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı ve faktör analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Ölçeğin tamamının Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı 0,94; beş alt boyutun Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı sırasıyla 0,86, 0,82, 0,88, 0,88, 0,85’tir. Madde-toplam puan korelasyonları ise 0,497 ile 0,739 arasında değer almaktadırlar (p0,05). Açıklayıcı faktör analizi ile ölçeğin, toplam varyansın %66,16’sını açıkladığı saptanmıştır. Maddelerin faktör yükleri 0,50 ile 0,82 arasında olup, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile ölçeğin faktör yüklerinin 0,64 ile 0,82 arasında ve CMIN(x2)/df =3,384, uyum iyiliği indeksi =0,85, normlu uyum indeksi =0,83, karşılaştırmalı uyum indeksi =0,88, RMSEA’nın 0,08 olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sonuçlar, OAS’nin Türkçe geçerliği ve güvenirliğinin yüksek olduğunu ve yapılacak araştırmalarda kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir
