    Validity and Reliability Testing Study of the Turkish Version of the Misophonia Scale
    (2022) Sakarya, Merve Deniz; Cakmak, Eda
    Misophonia is a disorder where individuals experience decreased tolerance to certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses in them. People with misophonia can feel disgust, anger, anxiety, and they may experience anger outbursts when exposed to certain sounds that are insignificant to other people, such as chewing, lip-smacking, and breathing. There is no consensus on the prevalence, assessment, and management of misophonia. A major barrier to the research on misophonia is the lack of robust psychometric assessment tools. This study aims to meet the need for a measurement tool for clinical and population-based evaluations intended for misophonia by adapting the Misophonia Questionnaire (Wu et al., 2014) to Turkish. The research was carried out on 638 undergraduate students at Baskent University, from 18 to 26 years of age. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 420 participants (73% female, 27% male) and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on 218 participants (62% female, 38% male). The statistical reliability was evaluated using the internal consistency coefficient, split half, and test-retest methods. In the Misophonia Questionnaire, misophonia was explained by the following three subscale factors: misophonia symptoms, misophonia emotions and behaviors-avoidance and internalization, and misophonia emotions and behaviors-aggression and externalization. These were used in the exploratory factor analysis. The confirmatory factor analysis found that the fit indexes were within acceptable limits. With the discriminant validity, the participants with clinical misophonia were observed to have a higher mean in all factors than those without. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated at .89, and for the three subscale factors mentioned earlier were .79, .85, and .83, respectively. The calculated test-retest reliability coefficient was .78, which applied to 75 participants. The split-half reliability coefficient was .83 (for each subscale factor, was .86, .87, and .81, respectively). With this study, the Misophonia Questionnaire, which can be used to evaluate misophonia in the general population, was adapted into Turkish. From the psychometric analysis, data supporting the validity and reliability of the Misophonia Scale were obtained.

    Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT): Turkish validity and reliability study
    (2019) Duman, Berker; Kotan, Zeynep; Kotan, Vahap Ozan; Mutlu, Nevzat Mehmet; Doganay Erdogan, Beyza; Sayar Akaslan, Damla; Tatli, Safiye Zeynep; Kumbasar, Hakan; 31408296
    Background/aim: It is of crucial importantance to be able to detect acute psychological distress in patients. 'the Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT) was developed for this purpose in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of IPAT. Materials and methods: In total, 98 patients were included. To assess concurrent validity, the Intensive Care Experiences Scale (ICES) and the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale were performed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate internal consistency. Interitem and item-total score correlations were also performed. Sensitivity and specificity were derived for concurrent anxiety and depression. Results: The internal reliability was good. Cronbach's a = 0.85. Items were well-correlated, with an average interitem correlation of 0.38. The concurrent validity of IPAT was good. Correlation between IPAT scores, anxiety, depression, ICES, and the diagnosis of delirium were as follows, respectively: r = 0.61, P < 0.01, r 0.54, P < 0.01, r = -0.66, P < 0.01, r = 0.37, P < 0.01. With a cutoff score of > 6, IPAT showed 85% sensitivity and 61% specificity to detect concurrent anxiety, and 74% sensitivity and 82% specificity to detect concurrent depression [AUC = 0.77 (95% CI, 0.68-0.87) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.76-0.92), respectively). Conclusion: The Turkish version of IPAT was found to be a valid and reliable tool to assess acute psychological distress among patients in intensive care units.
