Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to perform a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of the Aging Anxiety Scale for Middle-Aged Women.
Design and methods: This methodological study was conducted with 262 women aged between 40 and 59 years.
Findings: While language, content and construct validity analyses were performed at the validity phase of the scale, internal consistency and stability over time analyses were performed at the reliability stage. Factor analyses were performed for the construct validity, and it was determined that the items of the scale were classified under four factors; this was consistent with the original form. The Cronbach's α reliability was 0.962 for the overall scale and ranged between 0.836 and 0.949 for the four subdimensions.
Practice implications: The study determined that the Turkish adaptation of the scale is a valid and reliable measuring instrument.
