@article{2019,title={A NEW PAYMENT MODEL: USE OF ENCRYPTED CURRENCY AND TRANSACTIONS IN MEDICAL TOURISM},abstractNode={Objective: the purpose of this study is to develop a scale for the use of encrypted currency and transactions in medical tourism as a payment model. Methods: scale reliability was tested using item analysis for internal consis-tency (coefficient alpha) and test-retest reliability estimates. Principal compo-nents factor analysis was used to determine the theoretical fit of the measures with the data. Results: prencipal component analysis for factor analysis was performed and a one-factor solution was provided as expected (eigenvalue = 5,135, 54,1% of the variance explained). The factor loadings ranged from 0.41 to 0.82 among 10 items. Conclusion: the validity and reliability study of the Scale of the Advantages of the Use of Encrepted Currency and Transections in Medical Tourism in Term of Health Service Providers was scientifically conducted and it was fo-und that the scale gave very harmonious results.},author={Haşim ÇAPAR},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
