Menstrüasyon Semptom Ölçeği'nin Türkçe'ye Uyarlanması

AMAÇ: Bu araştırmada, Menstrüasyon Semptom Ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM: Metodolojik tipteki bu araştırmanın örneğini 2012-2013 eğitim ve öğretim yılında Ankarada bir hemşirelik yüksekokulunda okuyan toplam 356 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerin toplanmasında, Veri Toplama Formu, Visual Analog Skalası (VAS) ve 2009 yılında, Negriff ve ark. tarafından düzeltilen Menstrüasyon Semptom Ölçeği (MSÖ) kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlerde SPSS 15.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin geçerliliği; dil, içerik, yapı ve ölçüt bağıntıl geçerlilik ile güvenilirliği ise iç tutarlık ve zamana göre değişmezlik için gerekli analizler yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. BULGULAR: Bu çalışmada değerlendirilen katılımcıların yaş ortalamalarının 21,35 ± 1,12, ortalama menarş yaşlarının 12,99 ±1,38, ortalama menstrüasyan sürelerinin 5,31 ± 1,15 gün ve ortalama menstrüal siklus uzunluklarının 29,03 ±5,67 gün olduğu belirlenmiştir. MSÖnün alt boyut sayısı orijinal ölçekte olduğu gibi üç ile sınırlandırılarak gerçekleştirilen yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda toplam varyansın %50,99unu karşılayan ve özdeğeri 1den yüksek olan 3 faktör bulunmuştur. VAS ile MSÖ toplam puan (r= 0,603, p

Adaptation of the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire into Turkish

AIM: It is aimed to adaptation of the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire into Turkish in this study. METHODS: A total of 356 students were included in the methodological study. The demographic data questionnaire, Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ), and Visual Anolog Scale for pain (VASP) were used as tools for data collection. The SPSS 15.0 package software was used for the evaluation of the data obtained from the study. Its validty was assesed by using content, structure, criterion related validity and, its reliability was assesed by using internal consistency and consistency over time. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 21,35 ± 1.12 years (range, 18-23 years), the mean onset age of menarche was 12,99 ±1,38 years, the mean duration of menstruation was 5,31 ± 1,15 days, and the mean frequency of menstruation was 29,03 ±5,67 days. As a result of factor analysis limited with the three factors, three factors explaining %50.99 of the total variance and loading more than 1 were found. There is also, a strong and statistically meaningful relationship between VAS and MSQ total score (r= 0.603, p<0.000), MSQ Factor 1 (r=0.517, p<0.000), MSQ Factor 2 (r= 0.564, p<0.000) ve MSQ Factor 3 (r=0.429, p<0.000). Cronbach alpha value was measured as 0.92 for the total MSQ score. The correlation coefficient was found as 0.89 (p<0.001) between the test-retest assesments. CONCLUSION: According to the internal consistency, test-retest stability coefficient and factor analysis and criterion-related validity tests results, the Turkish translated version of the MSQ is a reliable, consistent and valid instrument for assessing symptoms regarding menstruation in Turkish adolescents.
