Article Development and Preliminary Psychometric Properties of the Adolescent Sleep Health Belief Scale(Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, 2025) Dikici H.; Kadıoğlu H.; Dikici, Hasret; Kadıoğlu, HasibeAIM: This study aimed to develop a scale based on the Health Belief Model that can reliably and validly evaluate adolescents’ beliefs toward sleep. METHODS: This study was conducted using a methodological design with 494 adolescents between September and October 2022 in Antalya, Türkiye . Eighty-one items about sleep were created according to the Health Belief Model. Validity was assessed in terms of content and construct validity, and reliability was assessed through internal consistency. Content validity was evaluated by ten expert opinions. The scale was tested for construct validity with exploratory factor analysis, after which the scale’s reliability was evaluated by examining item-total correlations using Pearson’s correlation analysis and assessing internal consistency with Cronbach’s Alpha. RESULTS: Item-level content validity index scores ranged between 0.80 and 1. The scale-level content validity index value was found to be 0.94. In the exploratory factor analysis of the 46-item scale, six factors were found with an eigenvalue greater than 1, explaining 57.7% of the total variance. The scale’s itemtotal correlations ranged from 0.26 to 0.79. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the subscales were 0.92 for perceived susceptibility, 0.90 for perceived severity, 0.90 for perceived benefits, 0.81 for self-efficacy, 0.79 for motivation, and 0.69 for perceived barriers. CONCLUSION: The Adolescent Sleep Health Belief Scale demonstrated good validity and reliability in adolescents. Its cross-cultural adaptation for use with adolescents in other countries is recommended. © 2025, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing.

METHODS: This study’s data, which were collected using qualitative research methods, were collected through face-to-face individual interviews between March 20 and March 21, 2023, after the earthquake in Hatay and Diyarbakır. The purposive sample method, one of the purposeful random sampling methods, was used in the research. A total of 35 individuals formed the study’s sample. Colaizzi’s phenomenological interpretation method was used in the analysis of the data. RESULTS: The data obtained from the individual interviews with the participants were gathered under three main themes: earthquake moment, emotions, and after the earthquake. In the study, it was determined that the participants stated that they were terrified by the noise and shaking at the time of the earthquake; they could not go out immediately, it was cold when they went out, and they witnessed that everywhere was dark and destroyed. It was determined that the emotions experienced by the participants were anger, helplessness, guilt, hope, and hopelessness, and they expressed their needs after the earthquake, the difficulties in getting help, and the losses they experienced. CONCLUSION: Remarkably, the study results are often parallel to acute stress, loss, and grief reactions, and the needs of individuals are the basic principles of psychological first aid. © 2025, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing.
