Abstract

The study aimed to adapt and validate the COVID-19 Traumatic Stress Scale in Turkish. The scale consisted of three dimensions: “threat/fear of infection and death,” “economic hardship,” and “disturbed routines/isolation.” The Turkish version (COVID-19 Traumatic Scale-TR) was tested on a convenience sample of 432 online participants. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three dimensions of the COVID-19 Traumatic Stress Scale, but with item 9 removed, resulting in an 11-item scale. Cronbach’s α score for the 11-item scale was 0.85. The scale may be important to test the impact of COVID-19 on different psychosocial domains, including economic impact and isolation, in Turkey.

摘要

该研究旨在调整和验证土耳其语中的 COVID-19 创伤压力量表。该量表包括三个维度：“对感染和死亡的威胁/恐惧”、“经济困难”和“被扰乱的日常生活/隔离”。土耳其语版本（COVID-19 Traumatic Sc​​ale-TR）在 432 名在线参与者的便利样本上进行了测试。验证性因素分析确认了 COVID-19 创伤压力量表的三个维度，但删除了第 9 项，从而产生了 11 项量表。11 项量表的 Cronbach α 得分为 0.85。该量表对于测试 COVID-19 对土耳其不同心理社会领域的影响（包括经济影响和孤立）可能很重要。
