OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire. METHODS: The study was carried out with 265 adolescents. Data were collected with the Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire and the Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the construct validity of Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire. The scale reliability was tested using test-retest, Cronbach's alpha test, Pearson correlation analysis, and interitem correlation analysis. RESULTS: The Cronbach's alpha coefficients were found to be above 0.80 for all sub-dimensions and the total scale. Correlations between Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire and Cleveland Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire scores were positively highly significant. The test-retest correlation analysis of Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire was 0.675. The results of confirmatory factor analysis were chi 2/df=2.861, comparative fit index=0.966, incremental fit index=0.966, Tucker-Lewis index=0.956, normed fit index=0.949, root-mean-square error of approximation=0.084. The suitability of the data for exploratory factor analysis was evaluated with Bartlett's test of sphericity (p<0.05), and the sample adequacy was evaluated with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (0.77) CONCLUSION: The Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire Turkish version is a valid and reliable tool for measuring insomnia in adolescents aged 11-18 years. Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire is a brief, practical, self-reported, age-appropriate, easily applicable, valid, and reliable tool in Turkish. This is the first Turkish validity and reliability study of Adolescent Insomnia Questionnaire.
