摘要

Purpose

Self-efficacy, or one's belief in coping with trauma, plays a crucial role in recovery. The Trauma-Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE-T) assesses an individual's confidence in managing the challenges of posttraumatic recovery. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the 9-item Turkish adaptation of the CSE-T scale, evaluating its applicability for research and practice, particularly among gender-based violence (GBV) survivors.

Methods

The study sample included 205 female GBV survivors recruited from undergraduate program students at Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, located in a rural area of Türkiye. Analyses included principal factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, second-order structural equation modeling, reliability analyses, and item analysis using the CSE-T, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWS).

Results

Preliminary findings using ProMax rotation revealed a two-factor structure comprising emotional coping (factor 1) and social and cognitive coping (factor 2), with good fit indices indicating adequate model fit (CFI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.09, SRMR = 0.06). Cronbach's alpha values demonstrated acceptable internal consistency for the total scale (α = 0.76). The CSE-T showed low to moderate significant correlations with PTGI and a low significant correlation with PWS. Findings also indicated that full-time employed students had higher CSE-T scores than those unemployed or working part-time. Additionally, students who were still experiencing GBV had significantly lower CSE-T scores compared to those who had never experienced GBV or had previously experienced it but were no longer exposed to it.

Conclusion

This study established the Turkish validity and reliability of the CSE-T scale, revealing a two-factor structure that enhances its cultural adaptability and applicability for assessing trauma-coping self-efficacy. The findings expand its global usability, highlight its relevance for psychosocial interventions among university students, and underscore the need for further validation across diverse demographic groups, making it a unique contribution as the first Turkish-adapted measure in this domain.
