For content validity, it was obtained of experts view and it was corrected according to expert's suggestions. For content validity, Kendall goodness-of-fit Correlation test was performed (Kendall's Wa = 0.167, chi(2) = 49.337, df = 37, p = 0.084). reliability and validity study, first of all, total item score correlation was examined. All items were upper than 0.20 correlation limit and there were a significant relationship between total item correlation score. Scale originally has 38 items in the latest version in Turkish. For reliability of the scale, it was performed the internal consistency analysis and it was find that Cronbach's alpha coefficient as 0.89. So, the scale has an acceptable level internal consistency coefficient. For the determining of scale's time stability, it was applied to initial 32 older persons after first survey.
