Özet:

 Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Self-Efficacy Scale for Clinical Reasoning in Physiotherapists into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties, thereby providing a valid and reliable tool for assessing self-efficacy in clinical reasoning among Turkish physiotherapists. Materials and Methods: The study followed a two-phase cross-sectional design. In the first phase, the scale was translated into Turkish using established cross-cultural adaptation guidelines to ensure linguistic and conceptual equivalence. In the second phase, psychometric properties were evaluated with 132 Turkish physiotherapists, recruited through snowball sampling. Data were collected via an online survey, and analyses included factor analysis, internal consistency Cronbachs alpha, test-retest reliability Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, ICC, and known group validity. Results: Factor analysis revealed a two-factor structure consistent with the original scale, distinguishing professional and general self-efficacy items. Internal consistency was strong, with a Cronbachs alpha of 0.812, while test-retest reliability was excellent ICC  0.841. Known group validity analyses showed significant differences in self-efficacy scores based on years of professional experience, with higher scores observed in physiotherapists with over ten years of experience p  0.015. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Self-Efficacy Scale for Clinical Reasoning in Physiotherapists demonstrated robust validity and reliability. It is a suitable instrument for evaluating self-efficacy in clinical reasoning among Turkish physiotherapists. It can be applied in research and clinical education contexts to measure and potentially enhance this skill.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Klinik Akıl Yürütme İçin Fizyoterapist Öz-Yeterlilik Skalasını Türkçeye uyarlamak ve skalanın psikometrik özelliklerini incelemek, böylece Türk fizyoterapistlerde klinik muhakeme öz yeterliliğini değerlendirmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç sağlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma iki aşamalı kesitsel bir tasarım izlemiştir. İlk aşamada, ölçek, dilsel ve kavramsal eşdeğerliği sağlamak için yerleşik kültürler arası uyarlama yönergeleri kullanılarak Türkçeye çevrilmiştir. İkinci aşamada, psikometrik özellikler kartopu örnekleme yoluyla 132 Türk fizyoterapist ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler çevrimiçi bir anket aracılığıyla toplanmış ve analizler faktör analizi, iç tutarlılık Cronbachs alpha, test-tekrar test güvenilirliği Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, ICC ve bilinen grup geçerliliğini içermiştir. Bulgular: Faktör analizi, mesleki öz yeterlilik ve genel öz yeterlilikle ilgili maddeleri birbirinden ayırarak orijinal ölçekle tutarlı iki faktörlü bir yapı ortaya koymuştur. İç tutarlılık 0,812 Cronbach alfa ile güçlü iken test-tekrar test güvenilirliği mükemmeldir ICC  0,841. Bilinen grup geçerliliği analizleri, mesleki deneyim yıllarına bağlı olarak öz yeterlilik puanlarında önemli farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiş, on yıldan fazla deneyime sahip fizyoterapistlerde daha yüksek puanlar gözlenmiştir p  0,015. Sonuç: Klinik Akıl Yürütme İçin Fizyoterapist Öz-Yeterlilik Skalasının Türkçe versiyonu geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik göstermiştir. Türk fizyoterapistler arasında klinik muhakeme öz yeterliliğini değerlendirmek için uygun bir araçtır. Bu beceriyi ölçmek ve potansiyel olarak geliştirmek için araştırma ve klinik eğitim bağlamlarında uygulanabilir.
