Modified Engulfment Scale (MES) measure the impact of a schizophrenic illness on an individual's self-concept. The objective of this study was to determine psychometric properties of the Turkish form of MES (MES-T).
Methods:
This cross-sectional study were included 162 schizophrenia patients with a convenience sampling method.
Results:
Based on the results of factor analysis, five items were removed from the original version of the scale. It was determined that the MES-T consists of 25 items, and it has three factors: change in self-concept, belief in treatment, and future expectation. As a result of Pearson product-moment, low and moderate correlation coefficients were obtained between subscales, and moderate and high correlation coefficients were achieved between the subscales and total score of the scale.
Conclusions:
The scale was found to be applicable for schizophrenia patients in Turkish population.
