Kişi Merkezli Ortam Anketi-aile versiyonunun Türkçe geçerlilik güvenilirlik çalışması

Aims: This report aims to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Person-Centered Climate Questionnaire-family version (PCQ-F) and contribute to the literature.Methods: This methodological study included 177 participants who applied to the hospital emergency department (ED). The validated English version of the PCQ-F was translated into Turkish and subsequently translated back into English to assess the alignment between the two versions. Experts then reviewed the Turkish translations, making necessary semantic and grammatical adjustments to finalize the Turkish version. Confirmatory factor analysis was employed to evaluate construct validity. The factorability was evaluated using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure and Bartlett’s test of sphericity. The reliability of the Split Half method was assessed using the Spearman-Brown and Gutman coefficients, alongside the calculation of Cronbach’s alpha. Additionally, the Item Discrimination Index was evaluated using Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The confirmatory factor analysis indicated the presence of three distinct factors within the scale. The Split Half reliability results were found to be 0.980 and 0.976. The internal consistency analysis was determined to be 0.940 and 0.988 based on Cronbach’s alpha. The presence of floor and ceiling effects was deemed absent.Conclusion: The analysis of the PCQ-F Turkish version showed that this is a valid and reliable. The PCQ-F serves as a tool for evaluating the perceived psychosocial environment within healthcare, and can also assess the similarities and differences in experiences between families and patients across various healthcare contexts.
