Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Recovery Assessment Scale

Objective: Globally, the field of mental health services has begun to evolve towards an improvement-focused approach. A valid and reliable measurement tool is needed to evaluate the subjective recovery process and to improve recovery-focused care. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Recovery Assessment Scale. Method: The present work was planned as a methodological study. The survey included 180 individuals with chronic mental illness registered in two Community Mental Health Centers. Content validity, construct validity, and criteria validity were used to assess validity, while internal consistency and stability across time were examined to test reliability. Results: The content validity index value of the scale was found to be over 0.80. Consequently, confirmatory factor analysis established that the Turkish form of the scale included 5 factors and 24 items, similar to the original version. Examination of criterion-related validity found an excellent positive significant correlation between the Recovery Assessment Scale and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (r=0.864, p
