Barkley Çocuk Dikkat Ölçeği’nin geçerlilik güvenilirlik çalışması
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Barkley Çocuk Dikkat Ölçeği (BÇDÖ)’nin, 6-12 yaş aralığındaki çocuklar için psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. Yöntem: Araştırmaya 6-12 yaş aralığında, klinik olarak zekası normal, Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB) olan 291 çocuk katılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği, açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin ölçüt bağlantılı geçerliliğini saptamak için 6-18 yaş arası Çocuklar için Davranış Değerlendirme Ölçeği (ÇDDÖ) ve Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Ölçeği -IV (SNAP-IV) ebeveyn ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenilirliğine bakmak için Cronbach alfa katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, ölçek özgün formunda olduğu gibi “hayallere dalma” ve “yavaşlık” şeklinde isimlendirilen iki faktörden oluşmaktadır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizine göre ölçeğin uyum indekslerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ölçeğin ölçüt bağlantılı geçerliliği çalışması için yapılan korelasyon analizi sonucunda Yavaş Bilişsel Tempo, Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu/Dikkat dağınıklığı (DEHB/D) ile pozitif yönde, Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu/Hiperaktivite-Dürtüsellik (DEHB/ HD) negatif yönde, içselleştirme sorunları ile pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu, dışsallaştırma sorunları ile ilişkisinin olmadığı saptanmıştır. BÇDÖ’nin Cronbach alfa katsayısı 0.86’dır ve ölçeğin güvenilir olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç: BÇDÖ’nin 6-12 yaş aralığındaki grupta yavaş bilişsel tempo belirtilerini geçerli ve güvenilir bir şekilde ölçtüğü söylenebilir.
Barkley Child Attention Scale Validity and Reliability Study
Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Barkley ChildAttention Scale (BCAS) for 6- to 12-year-old children.Method: This study was conducted with 291 children (of an age of 6-12 years) with a clinically normal levelof intelligence and a diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The structure validity ofthe scale was studied by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. In order to evaluate the measure-dependent validity of the scale, Child Behavior Checklist for ages 6-18 and Swanson, Nolan and PelhamQuestionnaire (SNAP-IV) parental form were used. Reliability of the scale was measured by Cronbach’salpha coefficient.Results: As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, the scale consists of two factors called “daydreaming”and “sluggish,” as is the case in its original form. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the fit indices ofthe scale were at an acceptable level. The correlation analysis study for the criterion-related validity studyof the scale revealed that Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) had a positive correlation with ADHD-IN andinternalization problems, a negative correlation with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/hyperactivity-impulsivity (ADHD-HI), and no correlation with externalization problems. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of theBCAS is 0.86 and the scale is seen to be reliable.Conclusion: It can be said that the BCAS is a valid and reliable scale that can measure sluggish cognitivetempo symptoms of 6- to 12-year-old children.
