Objective:
To evaluate the Turkish version of Mentoring Competency Assessment Scale in a faculty setting.
Methods:
The study was conducted from November 2015 to November 2016 and comprised eight faculties affiliated tothe Institute of Health Sciences of a university in Turkey. Data were collected usning a self- administered survey questionnaire from mentees and mentors working within the study universe. Data consisted of two parts; Mentoring Competency Assessment Scale with its mentor and mentee forms, and its Turkish translation which was back-translated for language validity of the scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to define the construct validity. Lisrel 8.7 was used for data analysis.
Results:
Of the 326 subjects, 165(50.6%) were mentors and 161(49.4%), were mentees. The mean age of the mentors was 47.5±8.6 years, and the mean length of time employed as academicians was 21.6±9.0 years. The mean age of the mentees was 29±3.9 years, and mean length of time employed as academicians was 3.9±3.3 years.The content validity index of the scale was 0.82 for the mentee form and 0.84 for the mentor form. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.92 for the mentee's form and 0.98 for the mentor's form. Test-retest analysis determined a high-level positive significant correlation (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
The validity and reliability of the Mentoring Competency Assessment Scale was supported by statistical analyses.
