TI  - The Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Adaptation of the Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire
AB  - Objective: To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire. Material and methods: This study was conducted with 314 parents of preschool children aged 2-5 years. The Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire, the Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire were applied to the parents. The anthropometric characteristics of the parents were evaluated using body mass index, and the z-score values of the children were evaluated with the WHO Anthro Plus program. While examining the validity and reliability of the adapted questionnaire, content validity, internal validity, external validity, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient, and test-retest reliability were analyzed. Item-person separation and item-person mean square fit statistics were assessed with the Rasch analysis. The protocol of the study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Marmara University Health Sciences Institute with the number of 2019-36 dated February 18, 2019. Results: The content validity index of the questionnaire was over 0.80 for all items, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.74. A significant difference was found for all items in the test-retest analysis (p<0.01). According to the Rasch analysis, the person separation index was 1.57 and the item separation index was 11.93; the data showed very high item reliability (0.99), while individual reliability (0.71) was very low. Conclusion: This study showed that the Feeding Practices and Structure Questionnaire was reliable but not valid due to the characteristics of the sample.
