Article Psychometric Properties and Transcultural Adaptation of Turkish Version of the Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medication Scale(Baskent Univ, 2025) Koken, Zeliha Ozdemir; Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciObjectives: This study aimed to translate BAASIS (Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medication Scale) into Turkish and to test the psychometric properties of the translated Turkish version of the instrument. Materials and Methods: In this single-center crosssectional study, we included 100 kidney transplant recipients in a university hospital in a western city of Turkiye. The Translation and Cultural Adaptation Report from Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research was used for the transcultural adaptation of BAASIS to Turkish. We tested the validity of the BAASIS Turkish version by the level of evidence according to the American Educational Research Association guidelines: content validity, internal structure, and relations to other variables. We calculated item-total correlations of the BAASIS Turkish version to examine internal consistency reliability. Results: The content validity index score of BAASIS was calculated as 1.00, indicating agreement between the experts. Exploratory factor analysis evaluated the internal structure of BAASIS, and the coefficients for inter-item correlations ranged from 0.170 to 0.395. The Immunosuppressive Treatment Adherence Scale and the BAASIS nonadherent scores were significantly correlated (r = 0.673, P < .001). The coefficients for item-total correlation analyses ranged from 0.160 to 0.470. Conclusions: The BAASIS Turkish version has acceptable psychometric properties. The scale can be used in clinical practice and research projects in transplantation to assess immunosuppressive medication adherence.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Assessment of the Psychometric Properties of the Online Education Student Satisfaction Scale: a Methodological Study(Springer Publishing Company, 2024) Harmancı Seren, A.K.; Alan, H.; Türkmen, E.; Gungor, S.; Baykal, Ü.; Seren, Arzu Kader HarmanciBackground and Purpose: Assessing student satisfaction is essential in evaluating the quality of education. The number of valid and reliable tools that measure students’ satisfaction with online education is limited. This methodological study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the online education student satisfaction scale. Methods: Eleven academicians from the nursing field provided expert opinions on content validity. Separate 25 students evaluated the language clarity of the draft scale. The study sample included 525 third- and fourth-year nursing students. Finally, a group of 30 nursing students different from the sample participated in the test–retest. The study created an item pool based on the recent literature. The researchers calculated the items’ content validity rates and the scale’s content validity index by taking the experts’ opinions. In addition, item–total score correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis, discrimination analysis, stability test, and internal consistency analysis were performed. Results: An item with a low-correlation value was excluded from the scale. The correlation coefficients of the remaining items were between.536 and.811. In the second round of exploratory factor analysis, a five-factor structure emerged that explained 72.1% of the total variance. In addition, item discrimination, stability, and internal consistency test results ensured that the scale was valid and reliable. Conclusions: The online education student satisfaction scale with five subdimensions containing 28 items is a valid and reliable tool. Researchers, educators, and managers may use it to evaluate students’ satisfaction with online education. © Copyright 2024 Springer Publishing Company, LLC.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Evaluation of Psychosocial Outcomes of Living Liver Donors in Liver Transplantation(Aves, 2022) Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Karayurt, Ozgul; Kul, Gulay Aksu; Kilic, Murat; Bozoklar, Cemal Ata; Tokat, Yaman; Harmancı Seren, Arzu KaderBackground: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors affecting psychosocial outcomes of living liver donors after liver transplantations. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of living liver donors followed by 2 liver transplantation centers in 2 private hospitals in 2 different provinces, between August 2017 and October 2019. All the living liver donors were contacted without a time frame after donation and all the participants were evaluated once. The Beck Depression Scale, SF-36, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and Perceived Available Support Scale were used to collect data. The t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 34.31 +/- 8.22 years. There was a positive, weak correlation between age and physical function. Gender, marital status, financial status, and education levels significantly affected physical components, social function, vitality, depression, and self-efficacy scores. High depression levels negatively affected the physical component, self-efficacy, and social support scores of the living liver donors. High self-efficacy positively affected social support. Conclusion: The study revealed that gender, marital status, employment status, and education levels were associated with psychosocial outcomes. The financial status was the main factor affecting each psychosocial variable. Financial status needs to be assessed in detail before and after the operation.
