The world is currently experiencing a pandemic of an infectious disease called
COVID-19 which has drawn global intensive attention. While global attention is
largely focusing on the effects of the coronavirus on physical health, the
impacts of the coronavirus on psychological health cannot be overlooked.
Therefore, this study aims to adapt the Fear of COVID-19 Scale into Turkish and
investigate the relationships between fear of COVID-19, psychological distress,
and life satisfaction. Data were collected by convenience sampling method, which
allowed us to reach total 1304 participants, aged between 18 and 64 years, from
75 cities in Turkey. In the adaptation process of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale,
confirmatory factor analysis, Item Response Theory, convergent validity, and
reliability (Cronbach's ?, McDonald's ?, Guttmann's ?6, and composite
reliability) analyses were performed. Additionally, the mediating role of
psychological distress on the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and life
satisfaction was tested. The uni-dimensionality of the 7-item scale was confirmed
on a Turkish sample. Item Response Theory revealed that all items were coherent
and fit with the model. The results indicated that the Turkish version of the
scale had satisfactory reliability coefficients. The fear of COVID-19 was found
to be associated with psychological distress and life satisfaction. Results
indicated that the Turkish version of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale had strong
psychometric properties. This scale will allow mental health professionals to do
research on the psychological impacts of COVID-19 in Turkey.
