Summary
The Turkish version of the Resilience Scale for Young Children (RSYC) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing resilience in children aged 2-6 years. This validated scale is recommended for use in clinical and research settings.
Area of Science:
- Child Psychology
- Psychometric Validation
- Developmental Science
Background:
- Resilience in young children is crucial for development.
- Existing resilience scales may not be culturally adapted.
- The need for a validated Turkish version of the Resilience Scale for Young Children (RSYC).
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Resilience Scale for Young Children (RSYC).
- To adapt and validate a culturally relevant tool for assessing resilience in Turkish children aged 2-6 years.
Main Methods:
- Methodological and descriptive study design.
- Involved 210 parents of children aged 2-6 years.
- Utilized face-to-face interviews, translation, expert reviews, and statistical analyses (SPSS, AMOS).
Main Results:
- High item-content validity index (I-CVI) from 0.81 to 0.94.
- Cronbach's alpha of 0.791 indicated good internal consistency.
- Confirmatory factor analysis supported the scale's structure and fit.
Conclusions:
- The Turkish version of the RSYC, comprising 16 items across four sub-dimensions, is a valid and reliable instrument.
- The scale is recommended for assessing resilience in children aged 2-6 years in Turkish-speaking populations.
