Validity and Reliability of Turkish Version of Physiotherapy Mobile Acceptance Questionnaire

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Physiotherapy Mobile Acceptance Questionnaire (PTMAQ). Method: Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data collected by convenience sampling from a total of 421 physiotherapists actively working in health institutions in Turkey. Results: The reliability will increase when the reverse coded questions in the scale related to PEOU are revised and converted into positive statements. In addition, since the "Gait speed", "Gait Quality and balance" and "Pain/cognitive status" dimensions that make up the Likelihood of Recommending an mHealth Tool for Specific Clinical Purposes (LRMH) scale measure the same structure, it was seen that they should be collected in one dimension. In addition, it is thought that it would be appropriate to remove the ACTIV1, GAITQUAL3, BALANCE1, PAIN3 expressions, which are among the dimensions that make up the LRMH scale in the third part of the questionnaire, because they distort the factor structure, and the SPEED1, GAITQUAL1, PAIN1 expressions are expressions that measure similar situations within the same structure. Conclusions: It is predicted that a more valid and reliable measurement tool will be obtained as a result of the revisions to be made in the PTMAQ.
