The Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) measure was developed to create a means of evaluating a physician's consultation process based on an extensive and meaningful definition of empathy, independent of a patient's socioeconomic background. The aim of this study was to adapt the valid and reliable CARE measure into Turkish and to confirm the measure's validity and reliability in the Turkish language. The measure reached its final version after the processes of translation, back-translation, and a pilot study. The final version of the measure was administered to 300 individuals between the ages of 18 and 83 who were patients at Akdeniz University Hospital. The internal consistency, homogeneity, and construct of the measure were assessed. The internal consistency and homogeneity of the measure were found to be very high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.973; the corrected item-total correlation coefficient for all items > 0.816). The measure was found to have a single-factor structure with a high level of construct validity. It was additionally found that the CARE score was not affected by the patients' demographic characteristics. The Turkish version of the CARE measure can be used as a valid and reliable measuring tool. The CARE measure is a tool with which patients can assess the level of empathy shown by a healthcare provider.
咨询与关系同理心（CARE）量表的开发旨在创建一种基于广泛且有意义的同理心定义来评估医生咨询过程的方法，该定义独立于患者的社会经济背景。本研究的目的是将有效且可靠的CARE量表改编为土耳其语版本，并确认该量表在土耳其语中的有效性和可靠性。经过翻译、回译和预试验等过程，该量表形成了最终版本。将该量表的最终版本施用于300名年龄在18至83岁之间、就诊于阿克德尼兹大学医院的患者。对该量表的内部一致性、同质性和结构进行了评估。结果发现该量表的内部一致性和同质性非常高（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.973；所有项目的校正项总相关系数> 0.816）。该量表具有单因素结构，具有较高的结构效度。此外还发现，CARE得分不受患者人口统计学特征的影响。CARE量表的土耳其语版本可作为一种有效且可靠的测量工具。CARE量表是一种患者可用来评估医疗服务提供者所表现出的同理心水平的工具。
