This study aimed to evaluate the Turkish psychometric properties of The Attitudes and Beliefs of Nursing Students Towards the Childhood Overweight Scale.
The study was conducted with 219 nursing students. The data were obtained with the 'Information Form' and the 'Attitudes and Beliefs of Nursing Students Towards Childhood Overweight. Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines was implemented in the study.
Original scale was created using the Attitudes Towards Obese Person Scale (ATOP) and the Beliefs About Obese Persons Scale (BAOP). ATOP consists of 13 items and two sub-dimensions (self-concept, social relationships) in a 5-point Likert type that evaluates nursing students' attitudes towards childhood obesity. BAOP is 5-point Likert-type and consists of 6 items that evaluate nursing students' beliefs on childhood obesity. When the item-total score correlations were examined in the study, two items showing a negative correlation in the "ATOP" were removed. Cronbach's alpha was 0.80 for the ATOP and 0.83 for the BAOP. In the exploratory EFA and confirmatory CFA factor analyses, the factor loading of all items was >0.40 for both scales.
It was determined that Turkish psychometric properties of the Nursing Students' Attitudes and Beliefs towards Childhood Obesity Scales were valid and reliable.
本研究旨在评估《护理学生对儿童超重态度和信念量表》的土耳其心理测量学特性。
该研究共纳入 219 名护理专业学生。研究数据通过“信息表”和“护理学生对儿童超重的态度和信念”获得。本研究遵循了《观察性研究的报告规范》。
原始量表由《肥胖者态度量表》（ATOP）和《肥胖者信念量表》（BAOP）组成。ATOP 由 13 个项目和两个子维度（自我概念、社会关系）组成，采用 5 级 Likert 量表评估护理学生对儿童肥胖的态度。BAOP 也是 5 级 Likert 量表，包含 6 个项目，评估护理学生对儿童肥胖的信念。在研究中，当考察项目总分相关性时，两个在“ATOP”中呈负相关的项目被删除。ATOP 的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.80，BAOP 的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.83。在探索性 EFA 和验证性 CFA 因子分析中，两个量表的所有项目的因子负荷均>0.40。
确定了《护理学生对儿童肥胖态度和信念量表》的土耳其心理测量学特性具有有效性和可靠性。
