| description | Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Subjective Health Complaints (SHC) inventory, which can be used to monitor health complaints experienced by the hospital support staff.
Materials and Methods: In this methodological study, data were collected from 240 hospital support staff working in five different hospitals in Turkey. Participants were asked demographic questions and administered a Turkish translated SHC inventory. Construct validity was confirmed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was assessed by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha and split-half reliability coefficients.
Results: The Turkish SHC inventory with 29 items showed acceptable content validity, construct validity, and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.905). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original five-dimensional structure of the scale. Model fit indices implied a good model-data fit: the normed chi-square value of 1.488 (χ2 = 513.423, df=345); error of root mean square approximation of 0.045; comparative fit index of 0.939 and standardized root mean square residuals of 0.060.
Conclusion: The findings assert the reliability and validity of the Turkish SHC inventory, and recommend its use as a suitable tool for monitoring health complaints experienced by health service workers. |
