Turkish adaptation of the blood donation fears ınventory: A study on validity and reliability
(Türk Kızılay, 2022) Çalışkan, Zehra; Sevim, Fatma
This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the “Blood Donation Fears Inventory” (BDFI) developed by Kowalsky et al. (2014), and conduct an adaptation study to implement in the Turkish population that would measure the fear of blood donation in terms of fainting symptoms, fear of blood and needles, fear of social evaluation, and fear of health screening results. A total of 321 participants consisting of 178 women and 143 men, between the ages of 18–51, were included in the study. Criterion fit validity, internal consistency coefficient, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in order to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the BDFI. It was observed that the structure of the inventory with 18 items and four sub-dimensions was confirmed following the confirmatory factor analysis. During the study on criterion fit validity, significant positive correlations were observed between the Blood Donation Reactions Inventory (BDRI) and the Blood Injection Fears Scale (BIFS) and the BDFI. As a result of the computation of the internal consistency coefficient, the reliability was found to be .96 for the whole inventory. Based on the results of the analysis, it is determined that the Turkish version of the BDFI is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
