Validation of the Turkish adaptation of FACETS-OF-PPC: a multidimensional outcome measure for pediatric palliative care
The study analyzed 102 responses (51 parents, 51 healthcare professionals), revealing suboptimal model fit (X<sup>2</sup>/df = 2.29; CFI=0.805; TLI=0.757; SRMR=0.109; RMSEA = 0.114). Internal consistency was adequate for the "normalcy" (w = 0.87) and "caregiver competencies" (w = 0.86) scales, but insufficient for "child's social participation" (w = 0.51), "social support" (w = 0.20), and "coping with the disease" (w = 0.50). While the Turkish version of FACETS-OF-PPC showed reliable results for certain dimensions, cultural differences and the small sample size likely affected the overall validity, suggesting the need for further refinement.
