Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of our study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish adaptation of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for children and adolescents (ESS-CHAD). We evaluated internal consistency, test−retest reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity of the ESS-CHAD in the sample of 145 children with a mean age of 14.58 (±1.44), consisting of 53.1% females. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an 8-item unidimensional structure of the scale. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.74; the correlation coefficients for test−retest reliability and criterion validity were 0.96 and 0.85, respectively (p’s< .05). Our study presented the first evidence to establish the validity and reliability of the ESS-CHAD for Turkish children aged 12 − 18 years.
