Purpose: The small number of Turkish versions of questionnaires assess the level of physical activity of adolescents creates a need for a valid, reliable, inexpensive and practical questionnaire for large-scale studies. This study aimed to investigate the validity, reliability, and cross-cultural adaptation of the Turkish version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A).
Methods: The 150 adolescent students between the ages of 14 and 18 years (age=15.67±0.83 years) were included in the study. Test-retest and internal consistency analyses were performed to evaluate reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) method. Total step counts were recorded for one week using an electronic pedometer to assess the questionnaire's convergent validity. The relationship between total score obtained from PAQ-A and total step counts recorded by the pedometer
Results: Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.86 for the entire questionnaire, indicating a questionnaire's high internal consistency. The ICC values for test-retest reliability were found to be within the range of 0.71 to 0.99, indicating that test-retest results were highly correlated. There was a moderate, positive and statistically significant (r=0.527, p<0.001) correlation between total score obtained from the questionnaire and total step counts measured by pedometer for one week.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the PAQ-A is valid and reliable. Therefore, it may be advisable to use the PAQ-A to measure adolescents' physical activity levels during school periods.

ADÖLESANLARDA FİZİKSEL AKTVİTE ANKETİ'NİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYON, GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı Adölesanlarda Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi’nin Türkçe versiyonunun, geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin belirlenmesidir.
Yöntem: Çalışmaya 14-18 yaşları arasında 150 adölesan öğrenci alınmıştır. Anketin orijinal halinin çeviri ve kültürel adaptasyonu uygun prosedüre göre gerçekleştirilmiştir. Güvenirliğin belirlenmesi için test-tekrar test ve iç tutarlılık analizi yapılmıştır. Test-tekrar test sonuçları Intraclass Correlation Coefficient yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. İç tutarlılık analizi için Cronbach Alfa değeri hesaplanmıştır. Birleşim geçerliğini değerlendirmek için fiziksel aktiviteyi ölçmede objektif bir yöntem olan pedometre (adımsayar) ile 1 hafta süresince öğrencilerin toplam adım sayıları kaydedilmiştir. Adölesanlarda Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi’nden alınan toplam puan ile 1 hafta süresince pedometre yöntemi ile kaydedilen toplam adım sayısı arasındaki ilişki Spearman Testi ile analiz edilmiştir.
Sonuçlar: Cronbach Alfa değeri tüm anket için 0,866 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu değer anketin yüksek iç tutarlılığa sahip olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient sonuçları 0,713 ile 0,995 arasında değişmektedir. Bu sonuçlar test-tekrar test sonuçlarının yüksek derecede korelasyonunu göstermektedir. Spearman testi sonuçlarına göre anketten alınan toplam puan ile pedometre ile ölçülen 1 haftalık toplam adım sayısı arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde (r=0,527) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı (p<0,001) korelasyon bulunmuştur.
Tartışma: Adölesanlarda Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi’nin Türkçe versiyonu geçerli ve güvenilirdir. Bu nedenle adölesanların okul periyotları boyunca fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini ölçmek için Adölesanlarda Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi'nin kullanımı önerilebilir.
