To adapt the Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS) into Turkish and to conduct a validity and reliability study with senior nursing students.
This study was methodological research. Translation and back translation methods were used to translate the scale into Turkish. Seven experts' opinions in nursing field were consulted for content validity. The study was conducted with 306 senior nursing students. Data were collected using Student Information Form and SAWS. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used for construct validity. Cronbach's alpha value, test-retest method, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for reliability analysis.
After ensuring language equivalence, the content validity was performed. The content validity index of the scale was 0.95. The items' content validity index (CVIs) ranged between 0.83 and 0.98. The Turkish version of the SAWS (SAWS-TR) has 37 items, and five factors. The 16th, 39th, and 40th items were removed from the original scale due to their low factor loadings. The results CFA were; χ2/df 2.461, RMSEA 0.069, GFI 0.803, CFI 0.807, TLI 0.801, IFI 0.806, and SRMR 0.098. The total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.91 and the sub-dimension Cronbach's alpha values ranged between 0.78 and 0.85. Test-retest was performed one week apart and there is a statistically significant difference between the test-retest results of the scale (r = 0.668, p > 0.05). These results show that the SAWS-TR measures the same variable at different times at acceptable level.
The 37-item SAWS-TR is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to evaluate wisdom among Turkish senior nursing students. Nurse educators can utilize the SAWS-TR instrument to assess the wisdom of nursing students, thereby facilitating the development of their decision-making competencies during clinical practice.
将自我评估智慧量表（SAWS）改编为土耳其语版本，并对高年级护理专业学生进行效度和信度研究。
本研究为方法学研究。采用翻译和回译方法将量表翻译成土耳其语。咨询了7位护理领域专家的意见以进行内容效度评估。研究对象为306名高年级护理专业学生。使用学生信息表和SAWS收集数据。采用验证性因子分析和结构方程模型进行结构效度分析。使用Cronbach's α系数、重测法和Pearson相关系数进行信度分析。
确保语言等效性后，进行了内容效度评估。量表的内容效度指数为0.95。各条目内容效度指数（CVI）在0.83至0.98之间。土耳其语版SAWS（SAWS-TR）有37个条目和五个因子。由于原始量表中第16、39和40个条目的因子载荷较低，故将其删除。验证性因子分析结果为：χ2/df 2.461，RMSEA 0.069，GFI 0.803，CFI 0.807，TLI 0.801，IFI 0.806，SRMR 0.098。量表的总Cronbach's α系数为0.91，各子维度的Cronbach's α系数在0.78至0.85之间。重测间隔为一周，量表重测结果之间存在统计学显著差异（r = 0.668，p > 0.05）。这些结果表明，SAWS-TR在不同时间对同一变量的测量具有可接受的水平。
37个条目的SAWS-TR是一个有效且可靠的工具，可用于评估土耳其高年级护理专业学生的智慧。护理教育工作者可利用SAWS-TR工具评估护理专业学生的智慧，从而在临床实践中促进其决策能力发展。
