Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate validity and reliability of Turkish versions of the Nursing Care Role Orientation Scale.
Methods: The universe of this study, which was carried out methodologically, is the nurses working in private hospitals, university hospitals and public hospitals in Ankara city center and its sample comprises 600 nurses who work in hospitals that permit the study to be carried out and who agreed to participate in the study. Nursing Care Role Orientation Scale was used to collect data. For the validity of the scale, language equivalence was provided, experts’ views were taken for content validity and explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for structural validity. Reliability analysis of the scale was determined using test-retest reliability, internal consistency analysis and item-total score correlation.
Results: Nurses participated in the research %36.2 of them are in 18-25 age group, %53.5 of them married,%54.5 of them have bachelor’s degree,%50.5of them are service nurses, working year of %43 of them is between 0-5 years. As a result of Kendall’s coefficient of concordance statistical analysis, it was seen that there was a significant consensus among experts (Kendall’s W value 0.163; p<0.05). That Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient was 0.782 and Bartlett test was significant (p<0.001) revealed that the data were suitable for factor analysis. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was seen that the scale was reliable. Test-retest reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as r=0.89 (p<0.001) and Cronbach alpha of the scale was determined 0.65.
Conclusion: The findings obtained from this study revealed Turkish version of Nursing Care Role Orientation Scale is a quite reliable assessment tool.
