Özet:

 The objective of this study was to develop a reliable and valid instrument to assess the professional competence of emergency medical technicians. This methodological and descriptive research engaged a sample of 820 students in their final year of Health Services Vocational School during the 2021-2022 academic year. The data collection period spanned from April to July 2022. The tools utilized for data collection included a Demographic Information Form, the Emergency Medical Technician Professional Competence Perception Scale EMT-PCPS, and the Self-Efficacy-Competence Scale. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 software packages. In order to establish the psychometric properties of the instrument, Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a construct composed of 66 items and 4 sub-dimensions, accounting for 70.45 of the total variance. The outcomes from Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the model with 65 items and 4 factors was suitable RMSEA.05; χ2df1.99. The item-total test correlation values were above .30, and the Cronbach alpha coefficient was .97, indicating high internal consistency. Furthermore, the correlation values between the test-retest scores exhibited moderate to high levels of agreement p.01. The results of this study suggest that the Emergency Medical Technicians Perception of Professional Competence Scale EMT-PCPS is a valid and reliable measurement tool for evaluating the professional competence perception among emergency medical technicians who are prospective professionals in their field.

 Araştırmada, Acil Tıp Teknikerlerinin mesleki yeterlik algılarını inceleyebilmek amacıyla geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracının geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Metodolojik ve tanımlayıcı araştırma tasarımında, Nisan-Temmuz 2022 tarihleri arasında yürütülen araştırmanın örneklemini, 2021-2022 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksek Okulu İlk ve Acil Yardım Programı son sınıfta öğrenim gören 820 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında, Demografik Bilgi Formu, Acil Tıp Teknikeri Mesleki Yeterlik Algı Ölçeği ATT-MYAÖ ve Öz-Etkililik-Yeterlik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde IBM SPSS 26.0 ve AMOS 24.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Ölçme aracının psikometrik özelliklerine kanıt için, Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizinde toplam varyansın 70.45ini açıklayan 66 madde ve 4 alt boyuttan oluşan yapı elde edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizinde elde edilen bulgular, 65 madde ve 4 faktöre sahip modelin uygunluğunu göstermiştir RMSEA.05; χ2df1.99. Madde-toplam test korelasyon değerleri .30 üzerinde, cronbach alfa katsayısı .97 ve test-tekrar test puanları arasındaki korelasyon değerlerinin orta ve iyi düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir p.01. Acil Tıp Teknikeri Mesleki Yeterlik Algı Ölçeği ATT-MYAÖnin, mesleği sürdürmeye aday Acil Tıp Teknikerlerinin mesleki yeterlik algı düzeylerini incelemede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
