The aim of this study was to use the "PROACTIVE Coping Scale" to adapt the scale to Turkish culture, to determine its validity and reliability in a sample of undergraduate nursing students, and to evaluate the proactive coping levels of nursing students.
Proactive coping skills are very important for nursing students to cope effectively with various stressors that they may encounter both in their academic lives and in their future professional lives. There are no valid and reliable instruments for measuring the proactive coping levels of nursing students in Turkey.
The present study is a descriptive and methodological study. Research data were collected between 01.12.2023 and 01.01.2024 via face-to-face interviews. The study was completed by 272 nursing students who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. In the analysis of the data, number/percentage, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient methods were used.
The scale structure was confirmed with 19 items and 4 factors. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the PROACTIVE Coping Scale was found to be 0.816. The scale explains 67.17% of the total variance, and item correlation values vary between 0.263 and 0.650.
The study showed that the PROACTIVE Coping Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating the proactive coping levels of nursing students.
本研究旨在使用“积极应对量表”使其适用于土耳其文化，在本科护理专业学生样本中确定其有效性和可靠性，并评估护理专业学生的积极应对水平。
积极应对技能对于护理专业学生有效应对他们在学术生活和未来职业生涯中可能遇到的各种压力源非常重要。在土耳其，没有有效且可靠的工具来测量护理专业学生的积极应对水平。
本研究是一项描述性和方法学研究。研究数据于2023年12月1日至2024年1月1日通过面对面访谈收集。该研究由272名自愿同意参与研究的护理专业学生完成。在数据分析中，使用了数量/百分比、探索性和验证性因素分析以及克朗巴赫α信度系数方法。
该量表结构通过19个项目和4个因素得到确认。积极应对量表的克朗巴赫α信度系数为0.816。该量表解释了总方差的67.17%，项目相关值在0.263至0.650之间变化。
该研究表明，积极应对量表是评估护理专业学生积极应对水平的有效且可靠的工具。
