Methodological study psychometrically validated Turkish tool for positive occupational engagement in schizophrenia, indicating its relevance for therapy interventions.
Positive occupational engagement supports mental health and well-being in individuals with schizophrenia, yet few standardized tools assess this construct. To adapt and psychometrically validate the Turkish version of the Assessment of Positive Occupation-15 (APO-15) in schizophrenia. A methodological study was conducted with 263 participants (97 with schizophrenia, 166 healthy adults). Cross-cultural adaptation followed standard procedures. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency (Cronbach’s α), test–retest reliability, and correlations with the Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS) and Motivational Persistence Scale (MPS) were. CFA supported a four-factor structure with acceptable fit. The scale showed strong internal consistency (α = .818) and excellent test–retest reliability (ICC = .814). APO-15 scores correlated moderately with RAS and MPS. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis identified a cut-off score of 47.5. The Turkish APO-15 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing positive occupational engagement in schizophrenia and can inform occupational therapy interventions.
