Abstract :Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether the Turkish version of the ‘Parental version of the Diabetes-Specific Self-Compassion Scale SCS-(Dp)’ is valid and reliable. Material and Method: In the study, 102 parents of children with Type 1 diabetes who continued their routine check-ups in a training and research hospital between July 2021 and October 2021 were interviewed. The questionnaire and scale questions collected data about sociodemographic characteristics, diabetes-related characteristics, and self-compassion. Exploratory factor analysis, correlation test analyses, and Cronbach α reliability coefficient were used to evaluate the data. Results: The present study found that SCS-(Dp) had appropriate language and content validity. The study’s scale reliability and internal consistency were evaluated by item analysis, Cronbach’s alpha. As a result of the item total score correlation, the values of all items were between 0.312 and 0.648. When the 27% scores of the item groups and the upper and lower group scores were compared using the independent Group t-test to determine the upper 27% differentiation of the subscale items, a statistically significant difference was found between the item score averages. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.825 for the negative sub-dimension, 0.763 for the positive sub-dimension, and 0.817 for the total scale. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the SCS-(Dp) used in the present study has appropriate language and content validity. According to exploratory factor analysis, correlation test analysis, and Cronbach α reliability coefficient analysis, it was found that SCS-(Dp) was an excellent and reliable measurement tool.Keywords : Self-Compassion, Type 1 diyabet, Parent, Validity, Reliability
