International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has an important role in rehabilitation in terms of assessments. In the field of vestibular rehabilitation, Vestibular Activities of Participation (VAP) measure is the first assessment developed in a perspective of ICF.
It was aimed to adapt cross-culturally and analyze psychometric properties of VAP into Turkish Language.
The VAP was translated into Turkish language by the authors and back translated by a blind native English speaker. The final version was applied to 310 participants. Internal consistency was analyzed with Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability analyzed with Intraclass Correlation coefficient (ICC). Validity of the scale investigated with Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor analysis (EFA and CFA).
Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was found 0.94, and the reliability of the subscales ranged from 0.75 to 0.95; ICC was found 0.94. VAP resulted 8-factor structure and explained 88%of the total variance. In CFA (χ2) / df ratio shows good agreement with 2.472 and the goodness of fit indices of TLI (0.814), CFI (0.893) and RMSEA (0.075) showed acceptable fit.
This study showed that VAP-Turkish version is valid and reliable in Turkish speaking populations, and might be used to determine impact of vestibular disorders on activities and participation.
国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）在评估方面在康复中具有重要作用。在前庭康复领域，参与性前庭活动（VAP）测量是从 ICF 角度开发的第一个评估方法。
旨在跨文化适应并分析 VAP 到土耳其语的心理测量特性。
作者将 VAP 翻译为土耳其语，并由一位盲目的英语母语人士进行回译。最终版本应用于 310 名参与者。内部一致性用 Cronbach's alpha 进行分析，重测信度用组内相关系数（ICC）进行分析。通过探索性和验证性因素分析（EFA 和 CFA）研究量表的效度。
Cronbach's alpha 可靠性系数为 0.94，子量表的可靠性范围为 0.75 至 0.95；ICC 为 0.94。VAP 产生 8 个因子结构，解释了总方差的 88%。在 CFA 中，（χ2）/df 比与 2.472 具有良好的一致性，良好拟合指数 TLI（0.814）、CFI（0.893）和 RMSEA（0.075）表明具有可接受的拟合度。
本研究表明，VAP-土耳其语版本在土耳其语人群中具有有效性和可靠性，可用于确定前庭障碍对活动和参与的影响。
