Abstract
Purpose
This study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Resilience Scale for Young Children.
Method
This study used a methodological and descriptive design. The study was conducted with 210 parents of children aged 2–6 years at a Family Health Centre in Sakarya from June 2023 to January 2024. Data was collected by face-to-face interviews via a Descriptive Information Form and the Chinese Resilience Scale for Young Children. Translation processes, expert opinions, and content validity were meticulously addressed. Data analysis was utilized by IBM SPSS Statistics and AMOS 24.
Result
The mean age of parents was 35.85 ± 6.52 years, and 82.9% of the parents were mothers (n = 174). The item-content validity index (I-CVI) ranged between 0.81 and 0.94, indicating a high level of agreement between the experts. The Cronbach's alpha value for the scale was 0.791. In the exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that the distribution of the items according to the sub-dimensions was consistent with the original scale. Confirmatory factor analysis results are as follows: chi-square/df = 2.395, RMSEA = 0.082, GFI = 0.842, CFI = 0.853, IFI = 0.856, RFI = 0.726, NFI = 0.776 and TLI = 0.820.
Conclusion
This study revealed that the Turkish scale with four sub-dimensions and 16 items is a valid and reliable tool.
Practice implications
It is recommended to use the Turkish version of the Resilience Scale for Young Children to assess resilience in children aged 2–6 years.
