Summary
This study validated the Turkish version of the Global Health Competency Self-confidence Scale (GHCSCS). The adapted scale is a reliable and valid tool for measuring self-efficacy in global health competence.
Area of Science:
- Global Health
- Psychometrics
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Self-efficacy is crucial for Global Health Competence.
- Existing scales for Global Health Competence Self-Confidence are limited.
- This study addresses the need for a validated measurement tool in Turkish.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct the Turkish adaptation of the Global Health Competency Self-confidence Scale (GHCSCS).
- To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the GHCSCS.
Main Methods:
- The study involved 438 participants selected via appropriate sampling.
- Translation and back-translation procedures were employed for linguistic adaptation.
- Confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analyses were performed.
Main Results:
- Confirmatory factor analysis supported the construct validity of the scale.
- Goodness-of-fit indices indicated an acceptable model fit.
- The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.94 demonstrated high internal consistency.
- The Turkish GHCSCS consists of 22 items across 4 subdimensions.
Conclusions:
- The Turkish version of the GHCSCS is a reliable and valid instrument.
- The scale provides acceptable measurement values for assessing global health competence self-confidence.
- This validated tool can be utilized in Turkish-speaking populations.

01:29Reliability and Validity
13.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Self-esteem, a core aspect of psychological well-being, reflects an individual's positive and negative self-evaluation in terms of worth, competence, and overall value. It is both a stable trait and a dynamic process, influenced by experiences and social interactions across the lifespan. While global self-esteem offers a general assessment, research highlights that self-esteem is multidimensional and varies across specific life domains.Domain-Specific Self-EsteemResearchers have delineated...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

01:24Confidence Coefficient

The confidence coefficient is also known as the confidence level or degree of confidence. It is the percent expression for the probability, 1-α, that the confidence interval contains the true population parameter assuming that the confidence interval is obtained after sufficient unbiased sampling; for example, if the CL = 90%, then in 90 out of 100 samples the interval estimate will enclose the true population parameter. Here α is the area under the curve, distributed equally under...

01:22Self-Report Tests of Personality
770
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.
