Abstract

Amaç: Menopozal dönemdeki kadınlarda eş, kapsamlı ve sürdürülebilir desteği sağlayan kişidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Menopoz Eş Desteği Ölçeği’nin geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerinin yapılarak, ölçeğin Türkçeye uyarlanmasıdır.
Yöntem: Araştırma grubunu 45-60 yaş arasında olan, eşiyle birlikte yaşayan ve hormon replasman tedavisi almayan 384 kadın oluşturmuştur. Veriler “Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu” ve “Menopoz Eş Desteği Ölçeği” kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin dil, içerik ve yapı geçerlikleri, iç tutarlılık, test-tekrar test güvenirlikleri analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Açıklayıcı faktör analizine göre ölçeğin toplam varyansını %60.2 açıklayan dört faktörlü yapı elde edildi. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeğin uyumlu olduğu saptandı. Ölçeğin Cronbach’s Alfa katsayısı 0.96 olarak belirlendi. Madde-toplam puan korelasyonu ve test-tekrar test analizi sonuçlarının pozitif yönlü, yüksek düzeyde ve anlamlı olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuçlar: Menopoz Eş Desteği Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanan formunun yüksek düzeyde geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu saptandı.

Abstract

Aim: This study focused on the pivotal role of spouses in providing comprehensive and enduring support for menopausal women. The primary objectives were to assess the validity and reliability of the Menopause Spousal Support Scale and to adapt it for use in the Turkish context.
Methods: The research involved a cohort of 384 women aged 45-60, living with their husbands and not undergoing hormone replacement therapy. Data were gathered through face-to-face interviews utilizing an "Introductory Information Form" and the "Menopausal Spousal Support Questionnaire." The scale's validity was assessed through examinations of language, content, and construct, while its internal consistency and test-retest reliability were also evaluated.
Results: Exploratory factor analysis unveiled a four-factor structure, accounting for 60.2% of the total variance in the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the compatibility of the scale. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.96. Furthermore, item-total score correlations and test-retest analysis outcomes demonstrated strong, positive, and statistically significant results.
Conclusion: The Turkish adaptation of the Menopause Spousal Support Scale has been proven to be a highly valid and reliable instrument for assessing the support received by menopausal women from their spouses.
