Özet:

The aim of this study is to adapt the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (HHYÖ) to Turkish. According to this, it has been tested the hypotheses that the Turkish form of the scale has the original English form and the linguistic equivalent, similar validity, reliability and factor structure.   The method in the study was first translated into Turkish with a scale translation-back method consisting of 18 articles. The linguistic equivalent of the translation was tested using two-language group designs. For this purpose, the relationship between the source of the scale and the materials in the target language applied to the English-speaking medical faculty students (n=71) is studied by the Spearman correlation ratio. The Turkish scale for validity and reliability analysis was applied to two different medical faculty’s first-class students (n=379). In order to identify the structure validity of the measurement, the Opening Factor Analysis and Verification Factor Analysis were conducted. The reliability analysis was performed by calculating the Cronbach Alfa internal consistency ratio.   The results found that the substances in the patient's attitude scale showed a meaningful linguistic equivalent between the original substances and 0.41 and 0.71 (p<0.01). In the first opening factor analysis, four substances that are not inside the factors and the factor weights are found below 0.25 were left out. According to the result of the second analysis with the remaining 14 items, the Turkish substances were found to receive similar burden to the substances in the original scale. The total Cronbach Alfa value of the measurement is 0.80, this value is 0.732 for the share sub-dimensions, and 0.653 for the maintenance sub-dimensions is calculated and acceptable.   According to these findings, the patient-doctoral orientation measurement can be said to be a measurement tool with linguistic equivalent, valid and reliable that can be used in research in Turkey.
