- Abstract
Objective: The study was planned to perform the Validity and Reliability of the "Sense of Belonging in Nursing School (SBNS) Scale" in Turkish. There is a need for a tool to measure nursing students' sense of belonging toward the nursing school. The "SBNS Scale" was created for this purpose, but a Turkish validity and reliability study is lacking. Material and Methods: Study in methodological design. It was carried out in the nursing department of a university in Türkiye. Participants, 210 nursing students continuing their education were selected using the stratified random sampling method. "Content Validity Index" was used for content validity of the scale, "Confirmatory Factor Analysis" for construct validity, and "Cronbach Alpha Reliability Coefficient" and "Test-Retest" methods for reliability. Results: The Content Validity Index score of the scale was found to be 0.985 (excellent). According to confirmatory factor analysis, index values showed a good model fit for construct validity. For reliability, Cron-bach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.920 (high), while test-retest measurements did not show any variation (p>0.05). Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the "SBNS Scale" adapted from English to Turkish is a valid and reliable instrument. Thanks to this scale, the belonging of nursing students can be evaluated, and studies to strengthen the belonging of the students can be planned according to the results.
