Self-Identified Stage of Recovery (SISR) Scale Turkish Form: Validity and Reliability Study

This study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Stage of Recovery Self-Identified (SISR) scale to assess whether it is appropriate for Turkish culture. The research population consisted of patients undergoing treatment in the mental unit of a Training and Research Hospital. The study's data was gathered in 2024 between February and April. Five items make up the initial version of the scale used in the study, which is thought to be adequate to reach 25–50 patients. As a result, 86 people made up the study's population. The self-identified recovery stage scale created by Andresen et al. in 2003 and the personal information form were used throughout the data-collecting phase. For the analysis, SPSS 22 and Jasp 0.18.3 were used. Additionally, exploration factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to evaluate the construct validity of the measure. The KMO value and the data set's Bartlett's test of sphericity results were reviewed before the factor analysis. The analysis's KMO value was 0.80, and the results of Bartlett's test of sphericity showed that it was significant (ꭕ=194.181, sd=10, p<0.001). These findings demonstrate that factor analysis can be performed on the data set. An analysis of the scale's reliability revealed that Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.85. The scale, which has a 5-item and single-factor structure like the source, is valid and reliable in Turkish form.
