Background:
The aim of this study was to provide the Turkish version of the Staff Attitude to Coercion Scale (SACS) and to determine its psychometric properties.
Methods:
This is a descriptive and correlation design. The sample of this study consisted of 100 psychiatric staff members. The validity and reliability of the scale were assessed through translation procedures, content validity analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was further evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and item-total score correlations.
Results:
The content validity index was found to be 0.93. The scale has a three-factor structure and the Cronbach's alpha values of the subscales are 0.70 for offence, 0.87 for safety and 0.74 for treatment, respectively. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the total scale was found to be 0.86.
Conclusion:
The Turkish version of the SACS showed good reliability and validity, and confirmatory factor analysis revealed the same factor structure with three factors as in the original SACS.
