To test the validity and reliability of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool in Turkish, which was developed to evaluate the patient safety competencies of nursing students.
In nursing education, it is crucial to provide students with the necessary professional knowledge and skills as well as appropriate attitudes in certain subjects. It is essential to address frequently encountered problems, to train nurses who can be aware of patient safety and improve the quality of nursing education. A valid and reliable measurement tool is needed to evaluate nursing students' current patient safety knowledge, skills and attitudes and review the curriculum and learning objectives in this context.
This is a validation study with a cross-sectional design.
The study sample consisted of 417 third and fourth-grade nursing students studying at two universities in Istanbul and volunteered to participate in the research. The study used the Turkish version of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool was used for data collection. Content validity, construct validity, stability and reliability tests were performed. Data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs. Ethics committee approval and permission from the institutions were obtained.
Nursing students' mean age was 21.98 (SD = 1.17). The Scope Validity Index of the scale was calculated as 0.97. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed in the original structure consisting of three dimensions, 12 factors and 41 items, it was found that all items were in the sub-dimensions of the original scale and factor loads were between 0.168 and 0.918. Four models were tested in confirmatory factor analysis and Model 4 had the best-fit indices. They were calculated as: χ2/df = 2.38, RMSEA = 0.06 and CFI = 0.91 for Model 4. Cronbach's alpha value of the total scale was 0.941 and ranged between 0.642 and 0.932 in its sub-dimensions.
The Turkish version of the Patient Safety Competency Self-Evaluation Tool is valid and reliable to measure nursing students' patient safety competencies.
测试土耳其语版患者安全能力自我评估工具的有效性和可靠性，该工具旨在评估护理学生的患者安全能力。
在护理教育中，为学生提供必要的专业知识和技能以及在某些科目中适当的态度至关重要。解决经常遇到的问题，培训能够意识到患者安全并提高护理教育质量的护士是必不可少的。需要有效的和可靠的测量工具来评估护理学生当前的患者安全知识、技能和态度，并在这种情况下审查课程和学习目标。
这是一项具有横断面设计的验证研究。
研究样本由伊斯坦布尔两所大学的 417 名三、四年级护理学生组成，他们自愿参加研究。研究使用土耳其语版患者安全能力自我评估工具收集数据。进行了内容有效性、结构有效性、稳定性和可靠性测试。使用 SPSS 和 AMOS 程序分析数据。获得了伦理委员会的批准和机构的许可。
护理学生的平均年龄为 21.98（SD=1.17）。该量表的范围效度指数计算为 0.97。在由三个维度、12 个因素和 41 个项目组成的原始结构中进行的验证性因子分析结果表明，所有项目均位于原始量表的子维度内，因子负荷在 0.168 至 0.918 之间。在验证性因子分析中测试了四个模型，模型 4 的拟合指数最佳。它们计算为：模型 4 的 χ2/df=2.38，RMSEA=0.06 和 CFI=0.91。总量表的克朗巴赫 α 值为 0.941，其子维度的范围在 0.642 至 0.932 之间。
土耳其语版患者安全能力自我评估工具可有效可靠地衡量护理学生的患者安全能力。
