Özet

Objective: The aim of this study was to adapt “Cultural Sensibility Scale for Nursing Students” to Turkish and examine its validity and reliability. Material and Methods: The data of this methodological study were obtained from 300 students studying in the nursing department of a state university in the east of Türkiye. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to find out the factor structure of the scale, while Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, test–retest method, and split-half reliability method were used for reliability. Results: In line with the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, it was found that the scale had 15 items and a 4-factor structure as “patient and health professional behaviors,” “self-assessment,” “self-awareness,” and “cultural influence.” Cronbach’s alpha value of “Cultural Sensibility Scale for Nursing Students” was found as 0.782. Conclusion: It was concluded that the Turkish version of “Cultural Sensibility Scale for Nursing Students” is a valid and reliable measurement instrument.
