The study aimed to validate and assess the reliability of the Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Preventive Behavior Measurement Tool in a Turkish sample. METHODS: This cross-sectional, methodological study included 273 intensive care nurses between December 2022 and February 2023. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses, as well as reliability analyses, were conducted using SPSS 26 and AMOS 24. Descriptive information and the Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia Preventive Behavior Measurement Tool were used to measure validity and reliability. RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis reduced the 17-item scale to 12 items. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.757, and Bartlett's test of sphericity was significant (χ2= 445.2, p < .001), indicating good construct validity for measuring ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention behaviors. The cronbach alpha of the scale was obtained as 0.745. CONCLUSION: The Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Preventive Behavior Measurement Tool is a valid and reliable instrument for the Turkish sample.
本研究旨在验证并评估呼吸机相关性肺炎预防行为测量工具在土耳其样本中的可靠性。方法：这项横断面方法学研究纳入了2022年12月至2023年2月期间的273名重症监护护士。使用SPSS 26和AMOS 24进行验证性和探索性因素分析以及可靠性分析。描述性信息和呼吸机相关性肺炎预防行为测量工具用于测量效度和信度。结果：探索性因素分析将17项量表缩减为12项。Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin值为0.757，Bartlett球形检验具有显著性（χ2 = 445.2，p < .001），表明该量表在测量呼吸机相关性肺炎预防行为方面具有良好的结构效度。该量表的克朗巴赫α系数为0.745。结论：呼吸机相关性肺炎预防行为测量工具对于土耳其样本是一种有效且可靠的工具。
