The measures developed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic caused fear, stress and anxiety in people over time. It was reported that pandemic fatigue, associated with the gradual loss of motivation to follow the implemented protective measures, emerged in societies.
This cross-sectional-methodological study aimed to validate the Turkish version of the Pandemic Fatigue Scale, developed by Lilleholt et al. (2020).
A web-based questionnaire was conducted to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the PFS. 1149 participants from all regions in Turkey participated. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed.
As a result of the KMO and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity, the scale was suitable for the factor analysis. According to EFA, the scale has two sub-factors. The first sub-factor explained 48.7%, and the second sub-factor explained 16.7% of the total variance. Factor loadings of items varied between 0.67 and 0.89. CFA shows that acceptable fit values were obtained for the RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, CFI, NFI and IFI fit indices.
The results support that PFS is a valid and reliable screening tool that can be used to measure the phenomenon of pandemic fatigue.
随着时间的推移,为应对 COVID-19 大流行而采取的措施在人们心中引发了恐惧、压力和焦虑。据报道,与逐渐丧失遵循实施的保护措施的动机相关的大流行疲劳现象出现在社会中。
本横断面方法学研究旨在验证 Lilleholt 等人(2020 年)开发的用于衡量大流行疲劳的量表的土耳其语版本。
通过网络问卷对该量表的有效性和可靠性进行了检验。土耳其各地的 1149 名参与者参加了此次研究。进行了探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性因子分析(CFA)。
根据 KMO 和 Bartlett 球形检验,该量表适用于因子分析。根据 EFA,该量表有两个亚量表。第一个亚量表解释了总方差的 48.7%,第二个亚量表解释了总方差的 16.7%。项目的因子负荷在 0.67 到 0.89 之间。CFA 表明,RMSEA、GFI、AGFI、CFI、NFI 和 IFI 拟合指数的适配值可接受。
结果支持 PFS 是一种有效的、可靠的筛查工具,可用于衡量大流行疲劳现象。
