Abstract

Objective

To test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Epilepsy-Related Apathy Scale (E-RAS) in adults with epilepsy.

Methods

In this methodological study, the E-RAS was translated into Turkish using standard procedures and assessed for content validity by a panel of 8 experts. The draft scale was piloted with 10 people to ensure comprehensibility of the questions. For psychometric validation, the Turkish version of the scale was administered to 209 native Turkish speakers over 18 years of age who had epilepsy for at least 1 year and had been using antiepileptic drugs for at least 1 year.

Results

Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed for construct validity. Internal consistency analysis yielded Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients of 0.813 for the whole scale and 0.802–0.864 for the subscales. In exploratory factor analysis, 9 of the original 24 items were removed (factor loadings < 0.30) and the 4 subscales were condensed to 2, called “Motivational and Emotional” and ”Self-Regulatory and Cognitive“.

Conclusion

The 15-item, 2-dimensional Turkish version of the E-RAS was determined to be valid and reliable for use in adults with epilepsy in the Turkish population.

癫痫相关冷漠量表对土耳其语成人癫痫患者的适应性：效度和信度研究

目的检验土耳其版癫痫相关冷漠量表（E-RAS）在成人癫痫患者中的效度和信度。方法在本方法学研究中，使用标准程序将E-RAS翻译成土耳其语，并由8名专家组成的小组评估内容效度。该比额表草案由10人试行，以确保问题的可理解性。为了进行心理测量验证，对209名18岁以上的土耳其语母语者实施了土耳其语版量表，这些人患有癫痫至少1年，并且使用抗癫痫药物至少1年。结果对构念效度进行了探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析。内部一致性分析显示，整个量表的Cronbach 's alpha信度系数为0.813，子量表的Cronbach 's alpha信度系数为0.802-0.864。在探索性因子分析中，原24项中有9项被删除(因子负荷<；0.30)，将4个分量表精简为2个，分别为“动机与情绪”和“自我调节与认知”。结论15项二维土耳其版E-RAS量表在土耳其成人癫痫患者中是有效可靠的。

期刊介绍： Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy. Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging. From September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.
