Considering the key roles and responsibilities of nurses in ensuring medication safety, it is necessary to understand nurses' competence in medication safety. Therefore, it was aimed to introduce a scale evaluating the medication safety competence of nurses into Turkish and to contribute to the literature by determining the medication safety competence levels of nurses.
A methodological and descriptive research design was utilised. The population consisted of nurses in Turkey, and the sample comprised 523 nurses who volunteered to participate.
The content validity index of the scale was 0.98, and the scale showed a good fit (χ/df = 3.00, RMSEA = 0.062). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.97, indicating high reliability. The mean score was 4.12, which was considered high. Participants who were 40 years old or above, married, and graduates of health vocational schools or postgraduate programs, along with those who had received medication safety training, had higher medication safety competence scores.
This study presents strong evidence that the Turkish version of the Medication Safety Competency Scale is valid and reliable when administered to nurses. The participants in this study had high levels of medication safety competence.
鉴于护士在确保用药安全方面的关键作用和职责，有必要了解护士在用药安全方面的能力。因此，本研究旨在将一份评估护士用药安全能力的量表引入土耳其语，并通过确定护士的用药安全能力水平为相关文献做出贡献。
采用方法学和描述性研究设计。研究对象为土耳其的护士，样本包括523名自愿参与的护士。
该量表的内容效度指数为0.98，量表显示拟合良好（χ/df = 3.00，RMSEA = 0.062）。该量表的克朗巴哈α系数为0.97，表明可靠性高。平均分为4.12，被认为较高。40岁及以上、已婚、卫生职业学校或研究生项目毕业的参与者，以及接受过用药安全培训的参与者，用药安全能力得分更高。
本研究提供了有力证据，表明《用药安全能力量表》土耳其语版应用于护士时是有效且可靠的。本研究中的参与者用药安全能力水平较高。
