Adaptation of the Fear of 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Scale to Turkish Culture: A Validity and Reliability Study
Öz: COVID-19 outbreak in the world has caused wide psychological effects and related concerns. Nonetheless, only a few studies have thus far evaluated the degree of fear of COVID-19, partially due to the lack of validated measures. This study was planned and conducted to study of the “Fear of COVID-19 Scale” adapted to Turkish culture which to measure level of fear of adult individuals Coronavirus Disease and developed by Ahorsu et al. (2020). In the study, over 18 years old adults has been achieved through a online questionnaire form who living in Turkey. 839 individuals were analyzed. In the first part of the questionnaire form, demographic features were questioned, and in the second part, Fear of COVID-19 Scale was applied. The scale is five-item Likert type consisting of 7 questions. Whether there is a correlation between the items that is a prerequisite for the study factor analysis was examined by Bartlett Sphericity Test (ꭓ2 = 2770.755, p< 0.001) and the adequacy of the sample size was examined by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO = 0.926). Accordingly, the results show that the sample size is sufficient. The level of internal consistency between items of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale was analyzed with item total correlations (>0.5) and Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients (0.874). As a result of the analyzes, the adaptation of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale to Turkish is robust and can be used in research assessing the psychological impact of COVID-19 among a Turkish adult population.

Öz: Kovid-19 salgını dünyada geniş psikolojik etkilere ve ilişkili sorunlara yol açmıştır. Bununla birlikte bugüne kadar çok az çalışma, kısmen valide edilmiş çalışmaların eksikliği nedeniyle salgının neden olduğu korkuyu değerlendirmiştir. Bu araştırmada yetişkin bireylerin Kovid-19 salgınına bağlı korku düzeyini ölçmek için Ahorsu ve ark. (2020) tarafından geliştirilen “Kovid-19 Korku Ölçeği”nin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılması ve Türk kültürüne uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye’de yaşayan 18 yaş üzeri yetişkin bireylere online anket yoluyla ulaşılmıştır. Toplamda 839 bireyin verileri analiz edilmiştir. Anketin ilk bölümünde demografik özellikler sorgulanmış, ikinci bölümünde Kovid-19 Korku Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Ölçek yedi sorudan oluşan 5’li Likert tiptedir. Çalışma faktör analizinin ön koşulu olan maddeler arası korelasyon olup olmadığı Bartlett Küresellik testi (ꭓ2=2770,755, p<0,001) ile örneklem büyüklüğünün yeterliliği ise Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO=0,926) ile incelenmiştir. Buna göre sonuçlar örneklem büyüklüğünün yeterli olduğunu göstermektedir. Kovid-19 Korku Ölçeğinin maddeler arasında iç tutarlılığının ne düzeyde olduğu madde toplam korelasyonları (>0,5) ve Cronbach alpha iç tutarlılık katsayıları ile (0,874) incelenmiş ve ölçeğin bütünü Kovid-19 salgınına bağlı korku durumunu yansıttığı belirlenmiştir. Yapılmış analizler sonucunda yetişkin bireylerde Kovid-19 nedeniyle gelişen korku düzeyini ölçmek için uygundur ve bu ölçeğin Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu saptanmıştır.
