Özet:

 Objectıves: Navigation and wayfinding is a neurocognitive skill that we often use in daily life. The aim of this study is to adapt the Wayfinding Questionnaire-Turkish WQ-TR, which assesses the navigation complaints of individuals, and to assess psychometric properties of WQ-TR in healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with 363 healthy participants 203 F, 160 M aged 18 and 69 mean: 39.013.1. WQ-TR and Moneys Road Map Test RMT were applied to all participants. Validity analyses were conducted with construct and concurrent validity. Factory structures of the questionnaire were formed with principal axis factoring in construct validity. The correlation between the RMT error counts and WQ-TR scores was evaluated for concurrent validity. Internal consistency Cronbachs alpha and test-retest reliability were performed in reliability analyses. Results: WQ-TR has 20 items and 3-factor structures: Navigation and OrientationNO, Spatial Anxiety-AmbiguousSA-A and Spatial Anxiety-OrganisationSA-O. In line with the correlation between RMT error counts and WQ-TR scores, WQ-TR was found to have moderate validity. High internal consistency a: 0.906 and high intraclass correlation coefficients ICC: 0.976 were observed. WQ-TR showed satisfactory internal consistency, excellent test-retest reliability and moderate validity. Conclusion: WQ-TR, the first Turkish questionnaire assessing navigation skills and showed perfect internal consistency, reliability and validity, was presented for clinical and scientific use.
