摘要

Aim

This study aimed to adapt the Physical Activity Neighborhood Environment Scale (PANES) into Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability in Turkish adults.

Methods

This methodological study was conducted between July and October 2023 with 358 adults selected via multi-stage cluster sampling in Erzurum, Turkey. The adaptation followed standard translation and cultural adaptation procedures. Construct validity was examined using exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Linguistic validity was assessed via correlations between the PANES-TR and the original English form (PANES-EN). Criterion validity was examined using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-TR). Reliability was assessed via internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient - ICC). Discriminant validity was evaluated by comparing scores between the lower and upper 27% groups.

Results

The sample (mean age 40.1 ± 13.0 years) was 57.0% male and 62.0% college/university graduates. EFA supported a four-factor structure (Physical Activity Friendly Environment, Safety, Accessibility, Pedestrian Infrastructure) for the PANES-TR, differing from the original scale; this was confirmed by CFA. High correlations were found between PANES-TR and PANES-EN (r = .79-.82). A weak, positive, significant correlation was found between PANES-TR and IPAQ-TR scores (r = .31). Cronbach's alpha was .81; test-retest ICC values ranged from .45 to .83. Significant differences were observed between the lower and upper 27% PANES-TR groups. No significant differences were found across socio-demographic variables.

Conclusion

The PANES-TR demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability for assessing perceived neighborhood suitability for physical activity among Turkish adults. It can be used in future research and public health interventions.
