Özet:

The continuous development and rapid change of technologies, materials, treatment methods and processes used in health service delivery, transformations in health systems and changes in working conditions can make employees tired of change. This can affect employee behavior and the quality of service provided. Knowing the change fatigue level of the employees can contribute to which strategies to be followed in the planning of the change processes to be made. However, in the literature review, it was observed that the Turkish assessment tools used for change fatigue and the studies conducted with healthcare employees were limited. The aim of this study is to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Change Fatigue Scale carried out on the healthcare employees. The research was conducted on 193 healthcare workers working in a public hospital. Cronbach alpha coefficient and Spearman-Brown reliability coefficient were examined to evaluate the reliability of the scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyzes were conducted to test the construct validity of the scale. In addition, the scale was evaluated in terms of language and content validity. It has been determined that the Change Fatigue Scale has language and content validity. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was calculated as .901 and the Spearman-Brown reliability coefficient as .84 and the scale was found to be reliable. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results (χ2/df: 2.23; RMSA: .08; CFI: .98; IFI: .98; GFI: .97; RMR: .03 and NFI: .97), it was observed that the scale was confirmed with a single factor. According to the findings obtained as a result of the research, the Turkish version of the Change Fatigue Scale, which has a one-dimensional structure, is valid and reliable.
