The aim of this study was to assess the Turkish adaptation of the COVID Stress Scale (CSS) on the basis of determining the stress caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and to test its validity and reliability.
The English CSS was translated into Turkish using forward and backward translation. Data were collected online from 360 participants. Construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and content validity. Pearson product-moment correlation, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, and test-retest methods were used to evaluate reliability.
The Turkish version of the CSS has 36 items consistent with the original scale and has five factors: COVID danger and contamination, socioeconomic consequences of COVID, COVID xenophobia, traumatic stress due to COVID, and compulsive checking for COVID. The construct validity of the Turkish version of the CSS was verified by the adjusted goodness of fit index > .85, and comparative fit index > .95. The content validity index of each item was 91%. The corrected item-total correlations of the scale ranged from .51 to .89. Internal consistency was reliable, with a Cronbach's α of .93.
The Turkish version of the CSS is valid and reliable. It can be used as a measurement tool for the assessment of COVID-related stress.
本研究旨在评估冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行引起的压力的土耳其适应 COVID 应激量表（CSS），并检验其有效性和可靠性。
使用正向和反向翻译将英文 CSS 翻译成土耳其语。从 360 名参与者中在线收集数据。使用验证性因子分析、探索性因子分析和内容效度评估结构效度。使用皮尔逊积差相关、克朗巴赫 α 可靠性系数和测试-重测法评估可靠性。
土耳其语版 CSS 有 36 个项目与原始量表一致，具有五个因素：COVID 危险和污染、COVID 的社会经济后果、COVID 仇外心理、COVID 引起的创伤性压力和对 COVID 的强迫检查。土耳其语版 CSS 的结构效度通过调整后的拟合优度指数>0.85 和比较拟合指数>0.95 得到验证。每个项目的内容效度指数为 91%。该量表的校正项目总分相关度范围为 0.51 至 0.89。内部一致性可靠，克朗巴赫 α 为 0.93。
土耳其语版 CSS 具有有效性和可靠性。它可以用作评估与 COVID 相关的压力的测量工具。
