Background:
Clinical education is a significant part of nursing education, but students frequently perceive it as stressful. There is no valid and reliable scale to determine the clinical stressor perceptions of nursing students in Turkey.
Objective:
The study aims to adapt the "Nursing Students' Clinical Stressor Perceptions Scale" (NSPCSS) into Turkish and perform its validity and reliability study for nursing students.
Method:
The research was conducted in a methodological design between 30 September 2021 and 1 November 2021. The sample consisted of 304 nursing students.
Results:
"The Cronbach's alpha" reliability coefficient of the NSPCSS is 0.912. The retest coefficient is 0.90 and the item correlation values are between 0.404 and 0.689.
Conclusion:
The study has shown that the NSPCSS-TR is a valid and reliable assessment tool to evaluate clinical stressors in nursing students.
