Abstract:
Background and Purpose: Humanistic care, grounded in empathy, effective communication, and respect for individuals' dignity and needs, enhances patient satisfaction, treatment adherence, and overall care quality. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Humanism Scale in Healthcare Professionals. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 340 nurses working in public hospitals across Turkey. Data were collected via an online survey using snowball sampling. The scale was translated and adapted into Turkish following expert evaluation and back-translation. Psychometric testing included exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and internal consistency assessment. Results: The scale comprises five factors and shows strong reliability and confirmed validity. Married nurses scored significantly higher on humanistic care than single nurses. Conclusions: The Humanism Scale in Healthcare Professionals is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing humanistic care among nurses in Turkey.
