To adapt the Nursing Authority and Autonomy Scale (NAAS) into Turkish the Nursing Authority and Autonomy Scale (NAAS) to Turkish and assess its psychometric properties for Turkish nurses and nurse managers.
The NAAS is a tool that specifically measures nursing authority and autonomy from the perspectives of nurses and nurse managers.
The study sample consisted of 160 nurse managers and 266 staff nurses. Content validity was assessed using expert approval. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's α, and the test-retest reliability was assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficients.
The model achieved a good fit. The internal reliability of the NAAS' authority and autonomy in nursing practice and importance of nursing practice subscales were .84. The Cronbach's α of the instrument was .88. The test-retest scores within an interval of 3 weeks were statistically not significant.
The Turkish version of the NAAS has good psychometric properties and this scale can be employed to measure nurses' authority and autonomy.
Nurse managers and educators should use an appropriate scale such as NAAS in order to assess nurses' clinical authority and autonomy to improve patient outcomes and develop nurses.
将护理权威和自主性量表（NAAS）改编为土耳其语，评估其在土耳其护士和护士长中的心理测量学特性。
NAAS 是一种专门从护士和护士长的角度衡量护理权威和自主性的工具。
研究样本包括 160 名护士长和 266 名护士。内容效度使用专家认可进行评估。结构效度使用验证性因素分析进行评估。内部一致性使用 Cronbach's α 进行评估，重测信度使用 Pearson 相关系数进行评估。
模型拟合良好。NAAS 护理实践中的权威和自主性以及护理实践重要性分量表的内部可靠性为.84。工具的 Cronbach's α 为.88。3 周间隔内的重测分数无统计学意义。
土耳其语版的 NAAS 具有良好的心理测量学特性，可用于衡量护士的权威和自主性。
护士管理者和教育者应使用适当的量表，如 NAAS，以评估护士的临床权威和自主性，从而改善患者的结局并培养护士。
