Adaptation of the Couples' Sleep Conflict Scale into Turkish

This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Couples' Sleep Conflict Scale by adapting it to the Turkish population. This study is a methodological research conducted using a cross-sectional design. The cultural adaptation process of the scale was completed in a three-stage process consisting of language validity, content validity, and piloting. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were applied to determine construct validity. Reliability analyses were performed with Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient and test-retest analyses. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, the scale consists of 5 items and one sub-dimension in female, male, and total groups. According to confirmatory factor analysis, the scale items were determined to have an acceptable level of fit for each group. In the reliability analysis, high Cronbach Alpha values were obtained (Female: 0.838, Male: 0.827, and Total group: 0.835). In addition, high correlation values were observed in the test-retest analysis. The Couples' Sleep Conflict Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing sleep conflict in married individuals in the Turkish population.
