Advance Nursing Practice
Aim:
The aim of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of the
Turkish version of the students´ attitudes towards addressing sexual health
questionnaire (SA-SH).
Method:
This methodological study was conducted in two stages. In the first
stage, the language adaptation of the scale to Turkish was performed via back-
translation. To evaluate content validity, the scale was reviewed by nursing
faculty members who were experts in sexual health. The content validity index
was calculated based on these experts’ opinions. In the second stage, the
reliability of the scale was evaluated. From January 2018 to March 2018, 292
nursing students who volunteered to participate in the study. At this stage, test-
retest reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and item-total correlations were
evaluated. The construct validity of the scale was done using confirmatory
factor analysis.
Results:
The content validity index of the Turkish version of the questionnaire
ranged from 0.76 to 1.00 and was found to be high. Cronbach’s Alpha
coefficient was 0.89. Removal of item 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 22 would
have improved alpha to 0.91. It was observed that the item-total correlation
values of the items changed between 0.24 and 0.75. As a result of the factor
analysis, the questionnaire was collected under 3 factors. Test-retest intraclass
correlation coefficient was 0.83.
Conclusion:
The results of this study determined that the Turkish adaptation
of the students´ attitudes towards addressing sexual health questionnaire was
valid and reliable and could be used in nursing research and practice in Turkey
The Turkish adaptation of the students attitudes towards
