Özet
Background/aim: A long life to be spent in a healthy, independent and vigorous way is one of humanity’s biggest dreams. This is the
engagement of individuals in healthy ageing processes. This study was carried out to conduct the Turkish validity and reliability study
of the “Engagement in Healthy Ageing Scale” developed by Menichetti, Bonanomi, and Graffigna [3] to determine the engagement of
individuals in healthy ageing and their experiences with healthy ageing.
Materials and methods: The quantitative research design was used in the study and descriptive findings were presented. Personal
information form and the “Engagement in Healthy Ageing Scale” were used in the study’s data collection. In addition, the “Health
Seeking Behaviour Scale”, and the “Self-Efficacy Scale” were used to conduct context validity. The data of the study were analysed with
the help of SPSS and the LISREL package program.
Results: It was determined that the goodness of fit index values of the Engagement in Healthy Ageing Scale, which was adapted into
Turkish, showed good fit and acceptable fit. To test the context validity, the correlational relationship of the Engagement in Healthy
Ageing Promotion Scale with the Health Seeking Behaviour and Self-Efficacy scales were examined. As a result of the correlation
analysis, it was determined that there is a positive relationship between engagement in healthy ageing and health-seeking behaviour and
self-efficacy.
Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the Engagement in Healthy Aging Scale is a valid and reliable measurement
tool in Turkish culture (Appendix).
