Background:
Resuscitation management is a highly demanding clinical process requiring nurses to demonstrate competence and efficiency.
Aim:
This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Resuscitation Self-Efficacy Scale (RSES), which measures nurses' self-efficacy in resuscitation management.
Methods:
This cross-sectional methodological study included 217 nurses actively working in clinical settings. Linguistic validity was ensured through forward-backward translation, and content validity was established via expert evaluation. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis after verifying sampling adequacy with Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's tests. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability.
Results:
Model fit indices indicated acceptable fit. The KMO value was 0.934 and Bartlett's test was significant (χ2 = 2495.41, p < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha for the total scale was 0.942, and ICC values showed high reliability. Strong positive correlations were found between the total RSES score and its sub-dimensions (Recognition r = 0.817; Debriefing and recording r = 0.880; Responding and rescuing r = 0.912; Reporting r = 0.842).
Conclusion:
The Turkish RSES is a valid and reliable tool for assessing nurses' resuscitation self-efficacy and may support clinical practice and intervention development.
