Özet
This study was conducted to adapt the Successful Aging Inventory (SAI) into Turkish and to determine its validity/reliability. The study is a methodological type study. The data were collected by face-to-face interview method in a nursing home and different seven district in Burdur province. The sample of the study consisted of 115 elderly individuals over the age of 60. Adaptation steps were made according to internationally accepted scientific methods. Accordingly, the factor loads of the items were between .41 and .89, the correlation coefficient between the score for each item and the scale score was r=.21-.65; correlation coefficient of each subscale item and subscale score is r=.57-.90 (p<.001). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient is .81 for the whole scale and .62-.86 for the subscales. There was no significant difference in the test-retest analysis performed to determine the difference between the two separate applications of the scale (p>.05). In this study, it was concluded that the Turkish version of SAI is a valid and reliable tool and can be used in practice and research.
