Abstract
Sexuality, which can be the cause or result of health problems, changes dimension in old age and continues until the 80s. The fact that healthcare professionals have information about the sexual lives of the elderly can give an important clue about their general health status. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Aging Sexual Knowledge and Attitudes Scale (ASKAS) in Turkish. The sample of the study, which was carried out with a methodological research design, consisted of a total of 616 students studying at different departments of a state university's health sciences faculty. The data of the study were collected between April and May 2020 using the Internet-based data collection technique, the Personal Information Form, and ASKAS. As a result of the factor analysis made for ASKAS, a single factor structure that explains 34.31% of the total variance was obtained. The mean score obtained from the scale is 40.18 ± .20.14; internal consistency coefficient 0.905; The item-total correlation coefficient was found to vary between 0.316 and 0.676. In addition, the Spearman-Brown, Guttman split-half and Cronbach α reliability coefficients, which were performed to calculate the two-half test reliability coefficient of the scale, were found to be sufficient. Turkish adaptation of ASKAS which is a tool that can be used to determine sexual attitudes in old age, can be applied easily, has sufficient internal reliability and validity.
