Description
Summary:Objective: To adapt the Nursing Students’ Rights Awareness Scale into Turkish and test its validity and reliability.Methods: This was a methodological study performed with 296 nursing students between 11 April and 10 June 2022 in the capital city of Turkey. Expert opinions were taken for the language and content validity of the scale. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses were used to test construct validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for internal reliability. Test-retest was conducted using the Intra-Class Correlation and Spearman’s rank correlation.Results: The Content Validity Index was 0.87. The scale, which originally had three factors, was formed in a single-factor structure in the current study, and the factor loads ranged from 0.563 to 0.871. The variance explained for the single-factor structure consisting of 14 items was 63.7%. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.95. The Intra-Class Correlation value was 0.95 (95%CI= 0.938-0.956, P<.001) and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was 0.70.Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Nursing Students’ Rights Awareness Scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
