The Turkish Version of the Munich Eating and Feeding Disorder Questionnaire: factor structure, validity, and reliability

Objective: This research aims to examine the factor structure, validity, and reliability of the Munich Eating and Feeding Disorder Questionnaire (Munich ED-Quest) in Turkish, which is a new detailed self-rating scale developed for the assessment of eating and feeding disorders. Methods: The English version of the Munich ED-Quest was translated into Turkish using the back-translation technique. Five hundred thirty-four (461 females, 73 males) students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences in a Turkish university whose age average was 23.0±3.0 years completed the Munich ED-Quest and the Eating Attitude Test (EAT). One hundred seventy-four of the participants completed the questionnaire again for the test-retest reliability within one week following the first conduct. Results: Factor analysis supported the three-factor structure of the Munich ED-Quest. The total Cronbach's alpha value was 0.940 (95% CI: 0.753-0.936 for the three subscales), and the test-retest reliability was 0.923 (95% CI: 0.755-0.906 for the three subscales) (all p

Amaç: Bu araştırma, yeme ve beslenme bozukluklarının değerlendirilmesi için geliştirilen yeni bir detaylı öz değerlendirme ölçeği olan Münih Yeme ve Beslenme Bozuklukları Anketi’nin (Münih YB Anketi) Türkçe faktör yapısını, geçerliliğini ve güvenilirliğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Münih YB Anketinin İngilizce sürümü geri çeviri tekniği kullanılarak Türkçeye çevrildi. Türkiye’de bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi’nde öğrenim gören, yaş ortalaması 23.0±3.0 yıl olan 534 katılımcı (461 kadın, 73 erkek) Münih YB Anketi’ni ve Yeme Tutum Testini (YTT) tamamladı. Test-tekrar test güvenilirliği için katılımcıların 174’ü ilk uygulamadan sonraki bir hafta içinde Münih YB Anketi’ni tekrar doldurdu. Bulgular: Faktör analizi Münih YB Anketinin üç faktörlü yapısını doğruladı. Şimdiki zaman için toplam Cronbach alfa değeri 0,940 (üç alt ölçek için %95 CI: 0.753-0.936) ve test-tekrar test güvenilirliği 0.923 (üç alt ölçek için %95 CI: 0.755-0.906) bulunmuştur (tümü için p
