    Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the self-perceived food literacy scale
    Selçuk, KT; Çevik, C; Baydur, H; Meseri, R
    Purpose: The present study was aimed at adapting the Self-Perceived Food Literacy Scale into Turkish and investigating its psychometric properties. Methods: This study was conducted with 391 adults aged >= 18 years living in a provincial center. This five-point likert scale consists of 29 items and 8 sub-scales. In the analysis of the study data, cronbach's alpha values, intraclass correlation coefficient and item-total and inter-scale correlation coefficients were calculated, and the confirmatory factor analysis and linear regression analysis were performed. Results: The cronbach's alpha value was 0.84, 0.70, 0.76, 0.61, 0.89, 0.69, 0.90, 0.92 for the subscales respectively (food preparation skills, resilience and resistance, healthy snack styles, social and conscious eating, examining food labels, daily food planning, healthy budgeting, healthy food stockpiling) and 0.83 for the overall scale. The test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient is between 0.80 and 0.96. The goodness of fit values of the confirmatory factor analysis are between 0.062-0.93. Conclusion: The Self-Perceived Food Literacy Scale adapted to Turkish society is a valid and reliable scale.

    Psychometric Characteristics of Turkish Version of Parental Attitudes towards Childhood Vaccines (PACV) Scale
    Çevik, C; Gunes, S; Eser, S; Eser, E
    INTRODUCTION: Vaccination hesitation is an important public health problem that has increased in recent years. The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Parenting Attitudes towards Childhood Vaccines Scale (PACV). MATERIALS and METHODS: This methodological study was conducted between January-May 2019 with parents of 0-59 months old children (n = 211) who applied to Balikesir University Health Application and Research Hospital Children's Polyclinic. PACV scale consists of 15 items in four dimensions: behavior, attitude, safety and effectiveness dimensions. Internal consistency (using Cronbach's alpha value) was used in reliability analyzes, structural validity (known groups and confirmatory factor analysis) and discriminant validity were used in validity analyzes. In the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the Comparative Compliance Index (BSI-CFI) and RMSEA were used. In the analysis, SS SPSS version 21.0 for Windows program and Lisrel 8.54 statistical package programs were used. RESULTS: 68.2% of the parents were women, 85.3% had sufficient income perception and 68.7% had only one child. The mean age was 30.84+5.15 for parents and 3.24+1.63 for children. Floor and ceiling effects of the scale are within the desired limits. Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.676. Test-retest results are good (ICC: 0.93, p: 0.001). In the explanatory factor analysis, KMO was 0.77 and the total explained variance was 57.41%. In the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, compliance indicators are good (X2 / sd: 1.87, RMSEA: 0.0652, CFI: 0.949, NFI: 0.90). The scale was found to be discriminant according to the validity of known groups. CONCLUSIONS: The PACV scale is a valid and reliable scale adapted to the Turkish population. Parents' Attitudes towards Childhood Vaccines Scale is sufficient and satisfactory in terms of distribution, measurement ability, internal consistency and model fit. Total correlation after overlap correction was found below 30 in questions 7 and 14 and the results must be interpreted with caution.

    Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the WHO-5, in adults and older adults for its use in primary care settings
    Eser, E; Çevik, C; Baydur, H; Günes, S; Esgin, TA; Öztekin, ÇS; Eker, E; Gümüssoy, U; Eser, GB; Özyurt, B
    Background: This study aims to determine the psychometric properties of the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) Turkish version in Turkish adults and older adults. Methods: This is a multicenter cultural adaptation study carried out with 1752 participants. Internal consistency (by Cronbach's alpha); Construct validity (by known groups and confirmatory factor analysis-CFI) and discriminant validity are evaluated stratified by adults and older adults. Cohen's Effect Size is used in known groups and discriminant validity analyses. Results: Distribution properties of the WHO-5 Turkish version are in acceptable limits. Alpha values are 0.81 for adults and 0.86 for older adults. The variances of the 58.5% of the adults sample and 63.9% of the older adults sample are explained in Exploratory FA. Model fits (CFI) are satisfactory ( > 0.95) in both samples; but RMSEA is poor in the older adults sample (0.166) whereas it is acceptable (0.073) in the adults sample. Known groups validity and discriminant analyses are satisfactory in both adults and older adults. Conclusion: The WHO-5 Turkish version has a good measurement capacity, internal consistency and good model fits in both samples. The error values in the older adults group suggest that the results when testing older adults should be interpreted with caution.
