ÖZET
 Amaç: Kişinin özgür iradesi ile kendi yaşamını sonlandırması intihar olarak tanımlanabilir. İntihar kararının verilmesinde farklı gerekçeler olabilmektedir. İntihar düşüncesi insan ve toplum sağlığı için risk teşkil eden bir özelliktedir. Bu düşüncenin ortaya çıkması, şiddetlenmesi ve süreğen hâle gelmesi insanın iyilik hâlini de tehdit etmektedir. Bu sebeple kişinin intihar düşüncesi üzerine disiplinler arası çalışmalar önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmacının amacı, İntihar Ruminasyon Ölçeği'ni Türk kültürüne uyarlamaktır. Bu kapsamda Türkçe formunun geçerlilik ve güvenirliği test edilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya intihar düşüncesinin olduğu 167 (41 erkek ve 126 kadın) kişi katılmıştır. Ölçek Türkçe diline çevrildikten sonra İngilizce alanında bir dil uzmanı tarafından Türkçe çeviri kontrol edilmiştir. Dil geçerliğinin uygun olduğuna karar verilmiştir. Yapı geçerliğini test etmek için öncelikle açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) uygulanmış ve maddelerin iki faktörde dağılımı gözlenmiştir. Sonra doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) uygulanmıştır. AFA için Jamovi uygulaması, DFA için LISREL uygulaması kullanılmıştır. Taslak ölçme aracının güvenirliğini test etmek için Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda kabul edilebilir uyum indeksleri ile karşılaşılmıştır (χ²/sd=1,754, karşılaştırmalı uyum indeksi=0,99, normlaştırılmamış uyum indeksi=0,99, kök ortalama kare yaklaşım hatası=0,067). İntihar Ruminasyon Ölçeği'nin iç tutarlılık katsayısının 0,89 olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, belirtilen örneklemde İntihar Ruminasyon Ölçeği'nin geçerli ve güvenilir sonuçlar sunacağı söylenebilir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: İntihar; ruminasyon; güvenirlik; geçerlik; uyarlama
ABSTRACT
 Objective: Ending one's own life with one's free will can be defined as suicide. There may be different reasons for making the decision to commit suicide. Suicidal ideation poses a risk to human and public health. The emergence, intensification and persistence of this thought also threatens the well-being of people. For this reason, interdisciplinary studies on suicidal ideation are important. The aim of this study is to adapt the Suicide Rumination Scale into Turkish. In this context, the validity and reliability of the Turkish form was tested. Material and Methods: A total of 167 people (41 males and 126 females) with suicidal ideation participated in the study. After the scale was translated into Turkish, the Turkish translation was checked by a linguist in the field of English. It was decided that language validity was appropriate. In order to test the construct validity, firstly, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was applied and the distribution of the items in two factors was observed. Then, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied. Jamovi application was used for EFA and LISREL application was used for CFA. To test the reliability of the draft measurement tool, the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated. Results: Acceptable fit indices were obtained (χ²/sd=1.754, comparative fit index=0.99, non-normed fit index=0.99, root mean square error of approximation=0.067). The internal consistency coefficient of the Suicide Rumination Scale was found to be 0.89. Conclusion: As a result, it can be said that the suicide rumination scale will provide valid and reliable results in the specified sample.
