    Cevik, C; Baydur, H; Ozdemir, R; Sonmez, S
    Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Social Health Scale for The Elderly (SHSE) scale. Materials and Methods: This methodological study was conducted with aged >= 60 years living in two urban and semi-urban neighborhoods in Balikesir between September 2020 and November 2020 by holding face-to-face interviews. The data of the study were collected using the SHSE, multidimensional scale of perceived social support, EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) quality of life questionnaire, and WHO-5 Well-Being Index. In the analysis, in addition to descriptive findings, Cronbach's alpha value and confirmatory factor analysis were performed using SPSS 25.0, jasp 0.14, and lisrel 9.1. Results: Cronbach's alpha values for the overall SHSE and its perceived environmental resource (PER), social adjustment (SA), and social support (SS) subdimensions were 0.89, 0.95, 0.63, and 0.54, respectively. The confirmatory factor analysis summary goodness of fit values of the scale were 0.067 for the root mean square error of approximation, 0.968 for the comparative fit index, and 0.087 for the standardized root mean square residual. The test-retest correlation coefficient of the scale was 0.99 for the overall SHSE and 1.00, 1.00, and 0.95 for its PER, SA, and SS subdimensions, Conclusion: The SHSE used in this study is a valid and reliable scale for Turkish society. It contains psychometric features that can be used in the assessment of the social health of the elderly. The SHSE can be used not only to investigate the risks or protective factors of social health but also to comprehensively assess health status in conjunction with other health domains.

    Deveci, S; Cevik, C; Baydur, H; Onsuz, F; Tosun, S; Ergor, A
    Background: The aim of this research is to develop a scale that will evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of employees about COVID-19 and to test its validity and reliability. Methodology: The methodological type of research was used between August-November 2020, under observation in organized industrial zones. Information was collected from a total of 543 employees. Confirmatory factor analysis and correlation analysis were performed for the value, item-total correlations and construct validity. SPSS 25.0 (IBM Inc., Armonk, NY, USA), Jasp 0.14 (University of Amsterdam) and Lisrel 9.1(Scientific Software International, Inc., Chapel Hill, NC, USA) programs were used in the analysis. Results: 83.1% of the participants in the study are male, the average age is 37.4 +/- 8.0, 76.1% are married, and 49.4% are high school graduates. The Cronbach alpha value of the COVID-19 information part is 0.86 in total, the contamination information dimension is 0.71 and the protection information dimension is 0.84. The COVID-19 attitude section consists of four sub-dimensions and 13 items classified within the framework of the health belief model. In summary, the goodness of fit values for the knowledge, attitude and behavior sections, respectively, are: RMSEA values 0.05, 0.03 and 0.04; CFI values 0.98, 0.98 and 0.99; GFI values 0.97, 0.97 and 0.99. Conclusions: It has been determined that the internal consistency of the COVID-19 knowledge, attitude and behavior scale conducted on employees is high and compatible, and its validity findings are sufficient. The scale is recommended as an applicable tool to measure COVID-19 knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.
