Abstract:

Purpose: First aid in household accidents is to adapt the self-sufficiency scale to Turkish, to examine its validity and reliability. Tool and Method: This methodological and identifying research was carried out at the Family Health Centers (ASM) in Denizli. The study included mothers with children aged 0-4 years. The total number of substances in the scale will be ten times the number of mothers reached 120. Results: The average age of the mothers participating in the study was 30.74±5.4. The total Cronbach alpha value of the self-efficiency scale of first aid in household accidents. 86, test-retest reliability correlation value was 0.92. According to the results of the scale factor analysis, the substance’s factor burden is above 0.30 and one factor reveals 39% of the total variance. The mother's average first aid score was 26.23±8.02. Result: First aid self-sufficiency scale has been found that the Turkish version is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used for the purpose of determining the first aid self-sufficiency levels of mothers.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of Self-Efficacy of First Aid for Home Accidents Scale. Materials and Methods: This methodological and descriptive research is conducted in Family Health Centers (FHC) in Denizli. The mothers who have children between 0-4 age group are included into the research. 120 mothers are reached so as to be ten times of the total item number on the scale. Results: The age average of the attendee mothers is found as 30.74±5.4. Total Cronbach alfa value of the first aid in home accidents self-efficacy scale is found as .86, test-retest reliability correlation value is obtained as 0.92. According to the explanatory factor analysis applied, the factor loads of the items of scale are above 0.30, and the scale explains 39% of the total variance as single factor. The point average of the self-efficacy of mothers is 26.23±8.02. Conclusion: Turkish version of Self-Efficacy of First Aid for Home Accidents Scale is a valid and reliable assessment instrument to use for identifying the first aid self-efficacy levels of mothers.
