Özet

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Telerehabilitation Acceptance Scale Health Care Professionals' Form (TRAS-HP).Methods: Health care professionals between the ages of 18 and 65 years were included. TRAS-HP was used to assess study participants' acceptance of telerehabilitation. Turkish translation of the scale was followed by confirmatory and explanatory factor analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were calculated.Results: Of the participants, 158 (65.83%) were female and 82 (34.17%) were male. Explanatory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure explaining 71.87% of the total variation with one item removed. Confirmatory factor analysis determined that the model fit indices (the root mean square error of approximation = 0.080, adjusted goodness of fit index = 0.857, goodness of fit index = 0.899, and chi-square/degrees of freedom = 2.516) were satisfactory. The subdimensions' factor loads ranged from 0.78 to 0.82. After confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis, the 16-item TRAS-HP was reduced to 14 items. Internal consistency (cronbach alpha = 0.947) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.927) were extremely high.Conclusions: With this study, the Turkish validity and reliability of TRAS-HP were demonstrated, and it was revealed that they are a suitable tool for determining the acceptance and awareness of telerehabilitation of health care professionals working in rehabilitation.
