Abstract
- Objectives: The present study attempted to adapt and validate the Turkish version of the Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly (CANE‐T). Methods: The data of this methodological study were collected from 610 older people who volunteered between September 10 and December 15, 2019. The SPSS 20 and LISREL software were used to perform reliability (internal reliability, parallel forms reliability/equivalent forms, and test–retest reliability) and validity (exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis) analyses for the CANE‐T. Results: The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test revealed the sampling adequacy to be 0.72. After deleting four items (psychological distress, behavior, alcohol, and money) with a factor loading below 0.30 from the dataset, it was found that the scores on the scale explained 55% of the total variance. Besides, the confirmatory factor analysis revealed the following fit indices: p < 0.05, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.08, root mean square residuals (RMR) = 0.07, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.07, goodness‐of‐fit index (GFI) = 0.88, and adjusted goodness‐of‐fit index (AGFI) = 0.84. Concerning reliability, Cronbach's α values were calculated to be 0.78 for 'Physical Needs', 0.74 for 'Psychophysiological Needs', 0.75 for 'Security Needs', 0.75 for 'Social Needs', and 0.75 for 'Health Needs'. Conclusions: Overall, it was concluded that the 20‐item five‐factor CANE‐T is a valid and reliable tool to measure the needs of older adults in the Turkish context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
