Aim:
This study aims to adapt the "Nursing Practice Readiness Scale" to Turkish culture, and evaluate its psychometric properties.
Background:
New graduates' nursing practice readiness can impact their work adaptation and performance.
Design:
The research employed a methodological design.
Methods:
Data were collected between May and July 2022. The sample consisted of 436 newly graduated nurses. Content validity, construct validity and criterion validity were evaluated. Reliability was examined with adjusted item-total correlation, Cronbach's a coefficient, composite-reliability and split-half reliability.
Results:
The Turkish version of Nursing Practice Readiness Scale was found to have good content and criterion validity. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, the original five-factor structure of the scale was also confirmed for the Turkish version. The scale's overall Cronbach's α coefficient was determined to be 0.96, with subscale coefficients ranging from 0.73 to 0.94. The composite reliability values of the subscales were found between 0.75 and 0.94. In split-half reliability, the correlation coefficient between half was 0.952, with a Spearman-Brown Coefficient (Unequal Length) of 0.976.
Conclusions:
The Turkish version of Nursing Practice Readiness Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for evaluating the nursing practice readiness of newly graduated nurses.
