Tuğba Ay, Deniz Oruç, and Asil Ali Özdoğru

This study aimed to adapt COVID-19 Related Psychological Distress Scale (CORPD) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. Participants were assessed across the CORPD Turkish form, Symptom Checklist-90-Revised anxiety subscale, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, and the Brief Resilience Scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed a two-factor model in different subsamples, with satisfactory reliability. The total and subscale scores of the CORPD Turkish Form were positively correlated with anxiety and fear of COVID-19, and negatively correlated with resilience. The findings suggest that the CORPD Turkish form is a valid and reliable measure to assess the COVID-19 related psychological distress.
