Sunay, Zeliha; Sabancı Baransel, Esra; Uçar, Tuba
This study aimed to adapt the Well-Being in Pregnancy (WiP) Questionnaire into Turkish and assess the instrument’s validity and reliability in pregnant women. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied to 500 pregnant women included in Sample I, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to 386 pregnant women in Sample II. As a result of the EFA applied to Sample I, it was found that the 12-item WiP encompasses two factors (Positive Affect and Satisfaction subscale and Concerns subscale), and as a result of the CFA applied to Sample II, it was found that the scale has good fit indices (χ 2/df = 1.990, p =.000, CFI = 0.95, GFI = 0.95, AGFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.04, and PCLOSE = 0.000). The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients that were obtained as a result of the reliability analyses of the scale were found as 0.72, 0.70 and 0.60 for all items of WiP, its first subscale and its second subscale, respectively. It was found that the item-total correlations of the scale varied in the range of r = 0.44–0.55 (p <.001). In the test–retest analysis, a statistically significant positive correlation was found between the total scores of the scale obtained in two different implementations (r = 0.412, p =.024). This study supported the use of WiP as a valid and reliable instrument for Turkish pregnant women. Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? The Well-Being in Pregnancy (WiP) Questionnaire developed in 2017 by Alderdice et al. is a measurement tool that is used to determine the positive and negative emotions of pregnant women. This questionnaire has not been translated to other languages. What do the results of this study add? The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of WiP were found to acceptable, and two subscales were identified as the Positive Affect and Satisfaction subscale and the Concerns subscale. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? This reliable and valid instrument can be used for measuring the whole spectrum of well-being rather than just poor psychological health.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2020Scopus SJRQ1Evaluating occupational health and safety service quality by SERVQUAL: a field survey study
Demir, Pelin; Gul, Muhammet; Guneri, Ali Fuat
The adverse impact of occupational accidents and occupational diseases on the society have recently increased a lot since the industrial-oriented society is getting more and more widespread. Although attempts regarding occupational health and safety (OHS) increase in Turkey, they are still at an inadequate level. OHS experts prepare employees for a healthy and safer working environment, so that work accidents can be eliminated and employees can be healthy psychologically and physically. At the same time, the worksites can be prevented from being financially damaged and productivity can be improved. The aim of this study is to measure OHS service quality by the evaluations of OHS experts from various sectors and workplaces. In this way, the OHS performance is measured, the difference between perceptions and expectations of the OHS experts is determined and deficiencies are revealed. In the study, the OHS activities are examined in five dimensions using the SERVQUAL scale; tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy. The questionnaire is carried out using a Likert-type five-point scale among 81 OHS experts from different sectors. In conclusion, SERVQUAL analysis is introduced as a useful tool for employers to better understand what they need to know about OHS services.
