Abstract

Background: The Social Relationship Coping Efficacy Scale (SRCE) evaluates how effectively cancer patients maintain social relationships. This study aimed to adapt the scale into Turkish (SRCE-TR) and examine its psychometric properties.

Methods: This methodological study included 202 adult cancer patients in Türkiye who were aware of their diagnosis. Data were collected using the SRCE-TR, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Content validity was confirmed by expert opinions, and construct validity was evaluated through Exploratory Factor Analysis and convergent validity analyses (Pearson correlation and bootstrap multiple linear regression). Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest methods.

Results: Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a single-factor structure explaining 51.13% of the total variance. The SRCE-TR demonstrated moderate constructive validity, correlating significantly with the MSPSS (r = 0.308) and BRS (r = 0.310). Furthermore multiple linear regression analysis with bootstrapping indicated that the model significantly predicted SRCE-TR scores (R²_{adj} = 0.219, p < 0.001). Perceived family support (β = 0.360, p < 0.001) and resilience (β= 0.258, p < 0.001) emerged as the primary significant predictors of the scale scores.

Conclusion: The SRCE-TR is a valid and reliable tool for assessing coping efficacy in maintaining social relationships among Turkish cancer patients.

社会关系应对效能量表：效度与信度研究。

背景：社会关系应对效能量表（SRCE）用于评估癌症患者维持社会关系的有效性。本研究旨在将该量表改编为土耳其语（SRCE-TR），并检验其心理测量学性质。方法：本方法学研究纳入了202名知晓自己诊断的 rkiye成年癌症患者。采用SRCE-TR、感知社会支持多维量表（MSPSS）和简短弹性量表（BRS）收集数据。采用专家意见确认内容效度，通过探索性因子分析和收敛效度分析（Pearson相关和bootstrap多元线性回归）评估结构效度。信度采用Cronbach’s alpha法和重测法进行评估。结果：探索性因子分析显示单因素结构解释总方差的51.13%。SRCE-TR具有中等建设性效度，与MSPSS （r = 0.308）和BRS （r = 0.310）显著相关。采用bootstrapping进行多元线性回归分析，结果表明该模型对SRCE-TR评分有显著预测作用（R2_{adj} = 0.219, p β= 0.360, p β= 0.258, p）。结论：SRCE-TR是评估土耳其癌症患者维持社会关系应对效能的有效、可靠的工具。

期刊介绍： Here is your single source of integrated information on providing the best psychosocial care possible from the knowledge available from many disciplines.The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. The journal—the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind—is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; patient education.
