A Turkish adaptation of the student version of the jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy

Öz:

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı Jefferson Doktor Empati Ölçeği öğrenci versiyonunun güvenirlik ve geçerliliğinin değerlendirilmesi, cinsiyet ve eğitim yıllarına göre farklılıklarının analiz edilmesi için tıp fakültesi öğrencilerine adaptasyonunun yapılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Jefferson Doktor Empati Ölçeği öğrenci versiyonu iki yönlü çeviri yapılarak Türkçe'ye çevrilmiş ve 1.-5. sınıf düzeylerindeki 752 tıp fakültesi öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin boyutluluk yapısının değerlendirilmesinde kategorik verilerde doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) kullanılmıştır. İç tutarlılık Cronbach alfa katsayısı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Alt ölçek puanları eğitim yıllarına göre farklılıkları karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular: DFA, bir madde hariç ölçeğin mevcut üç boyutlu yapısını doğrulamıştır. Alt ölçekler için iç tutarlılık katsayıları sırasıyla 0,83, 0,70, ve 0,60 olarak bulunmuştur. "Perspektif alma" ve "şevkatli bakım" puanları açısından cinsiyet ve eğitim yılları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Türkçe'ye adaptasyonu başarılı biçimde yapılan Jefferson Doktor Empati Ölçeği öğrenci versiyonu, Türkiye'de tıp fakültelerinde öğrenciler üzerinde kullanılabilir.

Jefferson Doktor Empati ölçeği öğrenci versiyonunun Türkçe adaptasyonu

Objective: The aim of this study was to adapt the student version of the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy (JSPE) to Turkish medical students in order to assess its reliability and validity, and to analyze the gender and year differences. Materials and Methods: The student version of the JSPE was translated into Turkish using back-translation procedures, and was administered to 752 medical school students from the first to fifth years of study. To assess the dimensionality of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for categorical data was carried out. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha. Subscale scores were compared in terms of gender and year. Results: The three-dimensional structure of the JSPE was confirmed by CFA except item 18. The internal consistencies of the subscales were 0.83, 0.70 and 0.60, respectively. There were statistically significant gender and medical school year differences in terms of “perspective taking” and “compassionate care” scores. Conclusion: The student version of JSPE was successfully adapted, and the adapted scale can be used in Turkey.
