Aim:
This study aimed to culturally and linguistically adapt the Anticipated Turnover Scale (ATS) for the Portuguese population.
Design:
A cross-sectional study.
Methods:
The ATS instrument was validated in a non-probabilistic sample of 259 nurses working at three hospitals in Portugal. The validity was assessed through factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability and test-retest.
Results:
The final scale is a one-factor scale consisting of 10 items and called "turnover intention." There are significant correlations among the scale items. Reliability and validity are acceptable. The ATS-Portuguese version, exhibited good psychometric properties for the Portuguese population.

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
