This study validated the Turkish version of the Basic Resuscitation Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (BRS-SES) for nursing students. The scale reliably measures confidence in basic life support skills.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Self-efficacy is crucial for acquiring basic life support (BLS) skills.
- Assessing nursing students' confidence in BLS is essential for effective training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Basic Resuscitation Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (BRS-SES).
- To establish a valid and reliable instrument for measuring nursing students' self-efficacy in BLS.
Main Methods:
- Methodological study involving 387 nursing students in Turkey.
- Analysis of a two-dimensional factor structure with 18 items.
- Assessment of psychometric properties using fit indices (χ²/df, RMSEA, CFI).
Main Results:
- The Turkish BRS-SES demonstrated a two-dimensional factor structure with 18 items.
- Fit indices indicated good model fit: χ²/df = 3.431, RMSEA = .079, CFI = .957.
- The scale exhibited strong validity and reliability.
Conclusions:
- The Turkish version of the BRS-SES is a valid and reliable tool.
- It effectively measures the self-efficacy of nursing students in basic life support.
- This instrument can inform BLS training and curriculum development for nursing students in Turkey.
