Psychometric Properties of the Body Image Scale in Turkish Ostomy Patients

Abstract

Purpose

To investigate the validity and reliability of the Body Image Scale in Turkish ostomy patients.

Methods

This study has a methodological and cross-sectional design. A hundred patients with ostomy lasting for at least 2 months were recruited from an ostomy and wound care unit.

Findings

Confirmatory factor analyses showed that goodness-of-fit indexes were acceptable. Exploratory factor analyses showed that factor loadings of the scale items varied between 0.74 and 0.91, and a single factor was determined. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.94. Item-to-total correlation coefficients ranged from 0.75 to 0.91.

Conclusion

The Turkish version of the Body Image Scale is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating body image in Turkish ostomy patients.

Amaç

Ostomisi olan Türk hastalarında Beden İmajı Ölçeğinin geçerliğini ve güvenirliğini incelemektir.

Methot

Bu çalışma metodolojik ve kesitsel tipde yapılmıştır. Ostomi ve yara bakım ünitesinden alınan, en az iki aydır ostomisi olan 100 hasta örneklemi oluşturmuştur.

Bulgular

Doğrulayıcı Faktör analizinde elde edilen iyilik uyum İndeksleri kabul edilebilir düzeydedir. Açıklayıcı faktör Analizinde faktör yükleri 0.74 ile 0.91 arasında değişmekte olup tek faktör elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alpha değeri 0.94'dür. Madde- Toplam Puan Korelasyon Katsayıları 0.75 ile 0.91 arasınsında değişmektedir.
