Evaluating the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Parents' Perceptions of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS-TR).
Background: The disease process can negatively affect both children and their parents, causing them to experience uncertainty. This study aims to determine whether the Turkish version of the Parents' Perceptions of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS) is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring Turkish parents' perceptions of uncertainty.
Methods: Data were collected from 351 parents. Data collection tools included the Descriptive Data Form, PPUS, and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Language, face, and content validity, descriptive statistics, internal consistency analyses, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses, and convergent validity analyses were conducted.
Results: The content validity index (CVI) was calculated as 0.96. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a four-factor structure with 23 items explaining 57.98% of the total variance was obtained. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the model fit. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the final version of the scale was 0.923. Convergent validity showed a significant positive relationship with the BSI (r=0.69).
Conclusions: The Turkish version of PPUS (PPUS-TR) was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.
