我们调查了土耳其人对COVID-19恐惧量表的心理测量学特性，重点是不同性别，年龄段，SES，慢性疾病情况和教育水平的冠状病毒相关恐惧的患病率。基于验证性因素分析，对COVID-19的恐惧量表具有适当的心理测量学特性，可供使用，包括极好的拟合优度指数、0.86的Cronbach α值和判别效度，与弹性呈显著负相关。此外，群体比较分析显示，女性对冠状病毒的恐惧明显更高。此外，来自中等社会经济地位的人对冠状病毒的恐惧显着更高，而对冠状病毒的恐惧并不因受试者的教育水平、社会经济地位和年龄而异。精神卫生提供者的影响进行了讨论。
We investigated the psychometric properties of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale in Turkish among a diverse group with a focus on the prevalence of coronavirus related fear across gender, age intervals, SES, chronic illness situation, and educational level. Based on a confirmatory factor analysis, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale had appropriate psychometric properties for utilization, including excellent goodness-of-fit indices, a Cronbach's alpha value of .86, and discriminant validity, as shown by a significant negative correlation with resilience. Furthermore, group comparison analyses revealed that women reported significantly higher fear of coronavirus. Additionally, individuals from middle SES reported significantly higher fear of coronavirus while the fear of coronavirus did not differ based on participants' educational level, socioeconomic status, and age level. Implications for mental health providers are discussed.
