ZOOM TÜKENMİŞLİK VE YORGUNLUK ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYONU: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Face-to-face education activities were transferred to online environments for the last two years. It is important to determine the exhaustion and fatigue levels of students in the education performed with video conferencing systems. The validity and reliability study was conducted to measure screen fatigue of students in the risk group of “Zoom Exhaustion and Fatigue Scale”. This methodological and descriptive study were conducted with 317 students. Psychometric analyses of the scale and its adaptation to Turkish were carried out. A total of 317 students, 82.3% (n=261) female participated in the research. The mean age was 20.02±1.52. The validity and reliability analyzes of the scale were determined to consist of 15 items and 5 subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated acceptable goodness-of-fit indices. The Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.89. Turkish version of the scale is an appropriate tool which can be used to measure the zoom fatigue that may occur because of the video conferencing systems used in courses in the education of students.
