Abstract
Purpose: In the present study, the reliability and validity of the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory, which is a scale designed to assess psychosocial adjustment in patients with ostomy is examined in a Turkish sample.
Patients and Method: Authors were asked for consent for the adaptation studies of Ostomy Adjustment Inventory. The adaptation of the scale was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the language adaptation was made. Language adaptation was made by five language experts as from English to Turkish and retranslated. In the second stage, the data was gathered in order to test the validity and reliability of the scale. A questionnaire form and the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory, developed by Simmons, Smith and Maekawa in 2009 were used to collect the data. The inventory contained 23 items and 4 sub-factors. One hundred patients followed in the Stomatheraphy unit of Gazi University, Centre for Health Researches and Applications were included in the study and the inventory was applied through a face-to-face interview method twice, within three weeks intervals.
Results: Average age of patients was 55.7 ± 12.2 with 53% male, and 44% had a permanent colostomy, 21% with nonpermanent ileostomy and 14% had urostomy. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was applied to the new model that was obtained through the changes. All the coefficients were significant (p<0.01). The overall scale coefficient was 0.874. The overall correlation coefficient obtained through test-restest method in the scale was 0.766.
