Abstract

This study evaluates the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Work-Related Stress Scale (WRSS) among search and rescue workers who responded to the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Data were collected from 275 workers between January and April 2024 using the Personal Information Form and the Turkish version of the WRSS. Language, content, and construct validity were assessed, and reliability was determined using item-total correlation, Cronbach's alpha, split-half, and test-retest methods. The scale demonstrated strong content validity with a CVI range of 0.9-1.0 and a mean CVI of 0.98. Exploratory factor analysis yielded factor loadings from 0.469 to 0.932, resulting in four factors that explained 75.3% of the variance. The reliability coefficients for the sub-dimensions ranged from 0.833 to 0.900, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.913. These results indicate that the Turkish WRSS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing stress among search and rescue workers.

土耳其版工作相关压力量表的心理测量评估：对 2023 年卡赫拉曼马拉什地震搜救人员的研究。

本研究评估了土耳其版工作压力量表（WRSS）在 2023 年卡赫拉曼马拉什地震搜救人员中的可靠性和有效性。2024 年 1 月至 4 月期间，我们使用个人信息表和土耳其语版工作相关压力量表收集了 275 名工作人员的数据。对语言有效性、内容有效性和结构有效性进行了评估，并使用项目-总相关性、克朗巴赫α、分半法和重复测试法确定了信度。该量表具有很强的内容效度，其 CVI 范围为 0.9-1.0，平均 CVI 为 0.98。探索性因子分析得出的因子载荷从 0.469 到 0.932 不等，最终产生了四个因子，解释了 75.3% 的方差。各子维度的信度系数在 0.833 至 0.900 之间，总的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.913。这些结果表明，土耳其 WRSS 是评估搜救人员压力的有效而可靠的工具。
