Purpose:
To investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Stress of Conscience Questionnaire (SCQ) and to determine its relationship to burnout among Turkish nurses.
Design And Methods:
The sample of this study with a cross-sectional design comprised 375 nurses. The data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and SCQ.
Findings:
The mean score of the nurses obtained from the overall SCQ was 85.36 ± 39.3 (min: 0; max: 225). The highest scored item by the nurses was related to "lack of energy to devote themselves to their families." There was a significant positive correlation between the Emotional Exhaustion-MBI scores and SCQ scores (r = 0.414, p < 0.001).
Practice Implications:
The Turkish version of SCQ is a valid and reliable tool among Turkish nurses and is associated with emotional exhaustion.
