Summary
This study validated the Turkish version of the Nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Psychometrics
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Assessing professional values is crucial for nursing practice.
- Existing tools may require adaptation for specific cultural contexts.
- The Nurses' Professional Values Scale (Nurses' PVS) needed validation for Turkish nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the validity and reliability of the Nurses' Professional Values Scale (Nurses' PVS) adapted for the Turkish language.
- To confirm the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Nurses' PVS.
Main Methods:
- A methodological study involving 297 nurses using snowball sampling.
- Data collected via Descriptive Data Form and Nurses' PVS.
- Statistical analyses included Content Validity Index, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's Alpha, McDonald's Omega, and test-retest reliability.
Main Results:
- Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the original 30-item, 4-subdimensional structure.
- Factor loadings ranged from 0.590 to 0.960.
- High reliability was demonstrated with Cronbach's Alpha (total 0.958) and McDonald's Omega (total 0.958) coefficients.
Conclusions:
- The Turkish version of the Nurses' PVS is a valid and reliable instrument.
- It can be effectively used to measure the professional values of nurses in Turkey.
