摘要

本研究的目的是将老年焦虑量表(GAS)翻译成土耳其语,并检查其基本心理测量特性。我们在土耳其科尼亚的社区居住的老年人样本中测试了翻译的GAS(N=100;Mage=71.4岁,SD=6.5;范围=65-88),这些老年人没有精神病史和足够的认知能力。为了评估收敛有效性,使用土耳其版的贝克焦虑量表(BAI)和老年抑郁量表(GDS)。GAS的平均总分为13.33(SD=11.86)。由于项目总分相关性较低(r=0.87,Pr=0.57,P抽样:新翻译的土耳其语版GAS在土耳其老年人样本中具有很好的实用性。有必要对这一指标进行未来的研究。

The Turkish adaptation and psychometric properties of the Geriatric Anxiety Scale.

The Turkish adaptation and psychometric properties of the Geriatric Anxiety Scale.

The purpose of the present study is to translate and adapt the Geriatric Anxiety Scale (GAS), a 30-item self-report measure of anxiety among older adults, into Turkish and examine its basic psychometric properties. We tested the translated GAS in a sample of community-dwelling older adults in Konya, Turkey (N=100; Mage=71.4 years, SD=6.5; range=65-88) without a history of mental disorder and sufficient cognitive abilities. To assess the convergent validity, Turkish versions of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were administered. The mean GAS total score was 13.33 (SD=11.86). Due to low item-total correlations (<0.30), two items (items 2 and 3) were removed from the Turkish version of the GAS. The internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha) was excellent for the total score (0.91) and acceptable for the subscales (somatic = 0.71; cognitive = 0.85; affective = 0.84). Regarding the convergent validity, the GAS total score was significantly and positively correlated with the total scores of the BAI (r=0.87, P<0.05) and GDS (r=0.57, P<0.05), with large effect sizes.

Implications: The newly translated Turkish version of the GAS has promising utility in an older adult Turkish sample. Future studies of this measure are warranted.
