An observational study in Reliability, sponsored by University of Yalova. Completed at 3 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-07-18.
Sponsored by University of Yalova · Observational
In this study, the adaptation, validity and reliability of the Clinical Competence Measurement Tool in Physiotherapy (FKYÖA) in Turkish were examined. A total of 105 (female: 76, male: 29) senior students of the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (FTR) aged between 21-25 with a mean age of 23.1 years were included in the study. Demographic information of the students participating in the study was recorded. In the process of translating the scale into Turkish, after the translation into Turkish, translation back into English and cultural adaptation process was completed, the suitability of each item in terms of comprehensibility, equivalence, suitability and representation of the content was evaluated with the expert opinions received from 10 faculty members working in the FTR departments of the relevant universities in order to examine the content validity (CGI: 1.0). Within the scope of the validity analysis of the scale, language, structure and scope validity were examined. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied for construct validity. Within the scope of the reliability analysis of the scale, the test was applied 2 times with an interval of 10 days under similar conditions to 20 students who were randomly determined for the reliability of the test-retest and to evaluate the internal consistency. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated.
