Abstract

Background

Self-efficacy is an important factor in nursing students' academic success. Thus, task-dependent self-efficacy should be evaluated in terms of learning. Valid and reliable tools are needed to measure learning self-efficacy in different societies.

Aim

The study aimed to test the ‘Nursing Learning Self-Efficacy Scale’ psychometric properties in the Turkish population.

Methods

It is a methodological study of instrument translation and validation. The psychometric properties of the Nursing Learning Self-Efficacy Scale were tested with 345 nursing students. For reliability, 50 nursing students were included in the retest. The study was conducted between May and June 2024 in a Health Sciences Faculty located in the Central Anatolia region of Türkiye.

Findings

The Content Validity Index of the scale was determined as 0.95 for linguistic compatibility and 0.92 for content compatibility. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a four-dimensional factor structure with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 62.84%, and 20 items in the scale were included in the analysis. In the confirmatory factor analysis of the scale, the fit indices for the classes were acceptable. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for Turkish culture was determined to be 0.926.

Conclusion

The Turkish version of the Nursing Learning Self-Efficacy Scale is a valid and reliable assessment tool for measuring self-efficacy in the learning skills of nursing students.
