Abstract
Background and Purpose: Self-efficacy level is an important factor in gaining basic life support skills. This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of "Basic Resuscitation Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (BRS-SES)" which measures the confidence levels of nursing students. Methods: The data of this methodological study were collected from 387 nursing students from Turkey. Results: A two-dimensional factor structure and 18 items were included in the analysis. Intraclass fit indices were calculated as χ2/degree of freedom = 3.431, root-mean-square error of approximation = .079, and comparative fit index = .957. Conclusion: The study showed that the Turkish version of BRS-SES is a valid and reliable assessment instrument for measuring self-efficacy levels of nursing students in basic life support skills.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nursing Measurement specifically addresses instrumentation in nursing. It serves as a prime forum for disseminating information on instruments, tools, approaches, and procedures developed or utilized for measuring variables in nursing research, practice, and education. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence for the reliability and validity or sensitivity and specificity of such instruments. The journal includes innovative discussions of theories, principles, practices, and issues relevant to nursing measurement.
