  Death Literacy Index Short Form: Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Turkish Version

  Semerci Çakmak, Vahide; Sönmez Sarı, Ebru; Seven, Ahmet

  The aim of this study was to adapt the short form of Death Literacy Index (DLI-9) into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. This study has a methodological cross-sectional design. The study was conducted with a sample of 400 adults across Türkiye during October-November. Content Validity Index, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Convergent and Discriminant Validity Analyses, test-retest reliability, Cronbach’s α-coefficient, item-total-score correlation, 27% upper-lower-group item analysis and Hotelling-T2test were used in data analysis. In the EFA analysis, the scale consisted of 2 factors. The original two-factor structure of the scale was confirmed by CFA. CFA model fit values were found as CMIN/DF = 2.078, RMSEA = 0.074, RMR = 0.077, SRMR = 0.0455, CFI = 0.960, NFI = 0.927, TLI = 0.945, GFI = 0.946, and AGFI = 0.906. The total Cronbach’s α reliability coefficient of the DLI-9 was found to be 0.84. This study indicates that scale is a reliable tool for evaluating death literacy in the Turkish population.

  Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Death Literacy Index

  Semerci, Vahide; Sönmez Sari, Ebru; Seven, Ahmet

  Death literacy is defined as a set of knowledge and skills that make it possible to gain access to, understand, and act upon end-of-life and death care options. This study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the 29-item original version of the Death Literacy Index (DLI) in Turkish society. The scale was applied on a sample of 436 Turkish adults determined using the snowball sampling method. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. The scale consisted of 6 subscales. The test-retest analysis of this study showed a strong and highly significant positive correlation between overall DLI (.98) and its subscales (.73–.98). The total Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of DLI was found to be.90. It was observed that the Turkish version of DLI was a valid and reliable tool and suitable for use in Turkish society.
