Objectives:
The aim of this study is to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Pain Management Self-Efficacy Ques-tionnaire (PMSEQ).
Methods:
The study was carried out descriptively and methodologically between September and December 2018 with 214 nurses and 248 nursing students. The data were collected using the descriptive characteristics form and the PMSEQ.
Results:
Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.90 in the total scale. In repeated measurements to test time reliability, there was no statistically significant difference between the two measurements (t=0.320, p=0.751), and there were a high power and positively highly significant relationship (r=0.997, p<0.001).
Conclusion:
Turkish version of the PMSEQ can be used as a valid and reliable scale in assessing the self-efficacy of clinical nurses and nursing students in pain management.
