The aim of the research is to adapt a valid and reliable scale to Turkish to measure the COVID 19 vaccine literacy level of individuals. Materials and Methods: The scale developed by Ishikawa et al. and adapted as COVID 19 vaccine literacy by Biasio et al. was used to assess health literacy in chronic diseases. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted in the Turkish adaptation of the scale. Random sampling method, one of the probabilistic sampling methods, was used in sample selection. The sample of the study consists of 596 individuals who agreed to participate in the study. Result: Of those participating in the research, 60.6% are women and 39.4% are men. In addition, 34.1% of the participants are Generation Y, 28.2% Gen X, 27.9% Gen Z and Gen. Baby Boomer 9.9%. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin sampling adequacy test result value is 0.905 and Bartlett's test is significant. According to the explanatory factor analysis, it is divided into two dimensions as in the original scale and the total explained variance is 65.970%. The goodness of fit values of the scale were determined as RMSEA = 0.069, NFI = 0.949, CFI = 0.961, GFI = 0.943, AGFI = 0.917, IFI = 0.961, TLI = 0.952, RMR = 0.036 and it was found to be within the accepted values. Finally, the Cronbach alpha value of the scale was determined to be 0.868. Conclusion:The COVID -19 vaccine literacy scale is a valid and reliable tool that can be used. At the same time, the scale is to evaluate how individuals have obtained information about the COVID -19 vaccine, and their ability to gather and understand information about the vaccine. Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, bireylerin Covid-19 aşı okuryazarlık düzeyini ölçmek için kullanılacak geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçeği Türkçe' ye uyarlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kronik hastalıklarda sağlık okuryazarlığının değerlendirilmesi için Ishikawa ve meslektaşları tarafından geliştirilen ve Biasio ve meslektaşları tarafından Covid-19 aşı okuryazarlığı olarak uyarlanan ölçek kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin Türkçe uyarlamasında doğrulayıcı ve keşfedici faktör analizi ve güvenilirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Örneklem seçiminde kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 596 birey oluşturmaktadır. Bulgular: Araştırma da katılım gösterenlerin, %60,6'sı kadın ve %39,4'ü erkeklerden oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca, katılımcıların %34,1'ni Y kuşağı, %28,2'sini X kuşağı, %27,9'nu Z kuşağı ve %9,9'nu Bebek Patlaması kuşağı oluşturmaktadır. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin örneklem yeterliliği test sonucu değeri 0,905 ve Barlett's testi anlamlıdır. Açıklayıcı faktör analizine göre orijinal ölçekteki gibi iki boyuta ayırılmakta ve toplam açıklanan varyansı %65,970'dir. Ölçeğin uyum iyiliği değerleri, RMSEA= 0,069, NFI= 0,949, CFI= 0,961, GFI= 0,943, AGFI= 0,917, IFI = 0,961, TLI= 0,952, RMR=0,036 olarak tespit edilmiş ve kabul edilen değerlerde olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Son olarak ölçeğin Cronbach alfa değeri 0,868 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç:Covid-19 aşı okuryazarlığı ölçeğinin kullanılabilecek ...

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of patient satisfaction on patient commitment and the mediating role of patient trust in this effect. The study was conducted with 595 patients receiving healthcare services from the city center of Sakarya in Turkey. The data were collected between March 30, 2017, and May 29, 2017, via questionnaire method. The Patient Satisfaction Scale by Chang et al, the Patient Commitment Scale by Torres et al, the Patient Trust Scale by Ozawa, and an Introductory Information Form were used as the data collection tools in the study. Descriptive statistical methods, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and Model 4 within the Process Macro regression analysis for SPSS developed by Hayes in order to determine the mediating role were used for the data analysis. The analyses were made at a 95% confidence interval, and the variables of patient satisfaction, patient trust, and patient commitment have a strong positive correlation. The result of this study demonstrated that patient satisfaction affects patient trust and patient commitment. Another outcome of this study is that there is a mediating effect of patient trust in the impact of patient satisfaction on patient commitment. In conclusion, these related concepts might influence the beliefs and behavior of the patient concerning the healthcare institution in question or the services that they have received.
