Asthma is common among Turkish schoolchildren, and teachers thus have considerable responsibility for asthma management in schools. However, there is no valid and reliable instrument to evaluate teachers' asthma management self-efficacy in schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Asthma Self-Efficacy Scale (ASE-T) among elementary school teachers.
This methodological study included 216 elementary school teachers. The reliability of the ASE-T was expressed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations. The validity of the scale was examined confirmatory factor analysis, item analysis, and the content validity index.
The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.70, and the item-total score correlations ranged between 0.24 and 0.57. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis determined the model fit indices to be χ/ = 1.461, RMSEA = 0.046, GFI = 0.94, AGFI = 0.91, NNFI = 0.98, and CFI = 0.92. The item analysis results revealed the differences between teachers with low and high levels of self-efficacy.
The results indicated the usefulness of the ASE-T for Turkish teachers. It is essential to determine teachers' competence in asthma management in order to improve their performance in school settings.
哮喘在土耳其学童中较为常见，因此教师在学校的哮喘管理方面负有重大责任。然而，目前尚无有效且可靠的工具来评估教师在学校中的哮喘管理自我效能。本研究旨在调查小学生哮喘管理自我效能量表（ASE-T）土耳其语版本在小学教师中的跨文化适应性和心理测量特性。
本方法学研究包括 216 名小学教师。ASE-T 的可靠性采用 Cronbach's alpha 系数和项目总分相关性来表示。该量表的效度通过验证性因子分析、项目分析和内容效度指数进行了检验。
该量表的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为 0.70，项目总分相关性在 0.24 至 0.57 之间。验证性因子分析的结果确定了模型拟合指数为 χ/ = 1.461，RMSEA = 0.046，GFI = 0.94，AGFI = 0.91，NNFI = 0.98，和 CFI = 0.92。项目分析结果显示了自我效能感高低不同的教师之间的差异。
研究结果表明，ASE-T 对土耳其教师是有用的。确定教师在哮喘管理方面的能力对于提高他们在学校环境中的表现至关重要。
