Abstract
PURPOSE
The aim of the study is to conduct a reliability and validity study of the Ego Function Assessment (EFA) scale.
DESIGN AND METHODS
The study was conducted with a total of 426 participants, which included 213 patients with schizophrenia and a control group of 213 normal individuals. The Individual Information Form, EFA Scale, Wonderlic Personnel Test, Adjective Check List, and Symptom Check List were used for data collection.
FINDING
All the statistical procedures performed in the validity and reliability stages of the study show that the scale is a valid, reliable measurement tool for the Turkish culture.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
In psychiatric nursing, the use of the EFA scale can be recommended for planning individual patient care, which involves the assessment of a patient's functional adjustment on the basis of their own ego profile.
