| Περίληψη: | This study adapted the Health Sciences Evidence-Based Practice (HS-EBP) Questionnaire, which measures evidence-based practice knowledge and attitudes, into Turkish and tested its validity and reliability among physiotherapists in Turkey. Data were obtained from 268 physiotherapists. The Quality of Professional Life (PRoQOL) Scale, Resistance to Change Scale (RCS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Information Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale (ILSES) were used concurrently to test the convergent validity. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was created to examine construct validity. The reliability of the Turkish HS-EBP questionnaire was evaluated by internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), correlation values between items and total scores, and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The Cronbach's alpha of the scale (0.985) demonstrated high internal consistency and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.992). The item-total correlations ranged from 0.528 to 0.867. The MDC for the scale was determined to be 7.518. The fit indices (χ2/sd) were 2.331, RMSEA 0.071, SRMR 0.062, IFI 0.907, CFI 0.906, GFI 0.862, and TLI 0.917. There was a positive statistically significant correlation between the Turkish HS-EBP questionnaire and PRoQOL, ILSES, and a negative correlation between RCS, MBI subscores (p < 0,05). The Turkish version of the HS-EBP questionnaire is a practical, valid, and reliable scale that measures the knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes of Turkish-speaking physiotherapists. |
