Abstract

Introduction

The Individual Earthquake Resilience Scale was developed with the aim of measuring individual resilience in the context of earthquake disasters. The purpose of this study was to adapt the Individual Earthquake Resilience Scale into Turkish and examine its psychometric properties.

Methods

A total of 419 adult individuals (65.2% females, median age = 43.35) participated in the study. The psychometric properties of the scale were examined in terms of content validity, face validity, construct validity, criterion-related validity, and reliability. Translation and back-translation processes were conducted.

Results

Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the scale has a 4-factor structure. In terms of criterion-related validity, a positive relationship was found between Individual Earthquake Resilience and the Short Psychological Resilience Scale. The reliability of the scale was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The total scale had a Cronbach’s alpha score of 0.892. The Individual Earthquake Resilience Questionnaire subscales had Cronbach’s alpha scores of 0.620, 0.817, 0.776, and 0.692, respectively.

Discussion

The study confirmed that the 4-factor structure of the Individual Earthquake Resilience Scale met the required standards for validity and reliability at an acceptable level. This validates its use in assessing individual resilience within the context of earthquakes in a Turkish-speaking population.

个人抗震能力量表：土耳其版本的心理测量特性。

介绍：开发个人地震复原力量表的目的是测量个人在地震灾害中的复原力。本研究的目的是将个人地震应变能力量表改编成土耳其语，并检验其心理测量特性：共有 419 名成年人（65.2% 为女性，中位年龄为 43.35 岁）参与了研究。研究从内容效度、表面效度、结构效度、标准效度和信度等方面考察了该量表的心理测量特性。对量表进行了翻译和回译：结果：确认性因素分析表明，该量表具有 4 个因素结构。在标准相关效度方面，个人地震应变能力与简易心理应变能力量表之间存在正相关关系。量表的信度采用 Cronbach's alpha 系数进行评估。整个量表的 Cronbach's alpha 得分为 0.892。个人抗震能力问卷分量表的 Cronbach's alpha 得分分别为 0.620、0.817、0.776 和 0.692：本研究证实，个人抗震能力量表的 4 因子结构符合所要求的效度和信度标准，达到了可接受的水平。这证明该量表可用于评估土耳其语人群在地震中的个人抗震能力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Emergency Nursing, the official journal of the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), is committed to the dissemination of high quality, peer-reviewed manuscripts relevant to all areas of emergency nursing practice across the lifespan. Journal content includes clinical topics, integrative or systematic literature reviews, research, and practice improvement initiatives that provide emergency nurses globally with implications for translation of new knowledge into practice. The Journal also includes focused sections such as case studies, pharmacology/toxicology, injury prevention, trauma, triage, quality and safety, pediatrics and geriatrics. The Journal aims to mirror the goal of ENA to promote: community, governance and leadership, knowledge, quality and safety, and advocacy.
