Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Stigma Questionnaire (ASQ-T).

Design: The study sample, in the methodological pattern, comprised 300 teachers.

Findings: Confirmatory factor analysis results of the ASQ-T indicated that the single-factor structure was compatible with Turkish culture. The overall Cronbach's alpha was 0.92. The item-total score correlation took a value between 0.466 and 0.725 (p < 0.05). The Test-retest result was determined as 0.480/p = 0.001.

Practice implications: This questionnaire can be used by psychiatric nurses to measure perceived stigma about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Keywords: ADHD; mental health; reliability; stigma; validity.
