Abstract

Aim

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the Turkish version of the “Stress Scale for Siblings of Childhood Cancer Patients (SCCP)”.

Methods

This study was conducted with 273 siblings aged 11-16 of childhood cancer patients (SCCPs) who were treated in a hospital in the Black Sea Region of Türkiye between March 2022 and April 2024. Data were collected with “The Sociodemographic Information Form” and “SCCP”. The data were examined through descriptive statistics, as well as exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes.

Results

The SCCP Turkish version is a valid and reliable scale consisting of 27 items and six sub-dimensions. The SCCP Turkish version explained 77.676% of the total variance. The SCCP Turkish version was found to be summable according to Tukey's test of additivity (p = 0.334), and the test-retest reliability of the scale was r = 0.864 (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

This study indicate that the Turkish version of the SCCP is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating stress levels in siblings aged 11 to 16.

Practice Implications

With SCCP, nurses can determine the stress levels of SCCPs and contribute to the planning of necessary interventions to cope with stress.

儿童癌症患者兄弟姐妹压力量表土耳其版的心理测量特征

目的本研究旨在评估土耳其版《儿童癌症患者兄弟姐妹压力量表》的心理测量特征。方法本研究对2022年3月至2024年4月期间在乌克兰黑海地区一家医院接受治疗的273名11-16岁儿童癌症患者（SCCPs）的兄弟姐妹进行了研究。数据是通过“社会人口统计资料表”和“SCCP”收集的。通过描述性统计以及探索性和验证性因素分析对数据进行检验。结果土耳其版SCCP量表由27个条目和6个子维度组成，是一份有效可靠的量表。SCCP土耳其语版本解释了总方差的77.676%。经Tukey’s可加性检验，发现SCCP土耳其版可相加（p = 0.334），量表重测信度r = 0.864 （p < 0.05）。结论土耳其版SCCP是一种有效、可靠的评估11 ~ 16岁兄弟姐妹压力水平的工具。使用SCCP，护士可以确定SCCP的压力水平，并有助于制定必要的干预措施来应对压力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
