Abstract
Aim: To develop a valid and reliable scale to measure nursing students' social hand washing attitudes.
Materials and Methods: This methodological study was carried out with the data were collected from 369 students in a university Faculty of Health Science Nursing Department. The scale was reviewed by 11 experts for the content validity. Construct validity was evaluated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The data were analyzed using Cronbach-alpha coefficient, pearson correlation coefficient, and confirmatory factor analysis fit indices.
Results: As a result of the analysis a three factor structure consisting of 20 items that explains 45.30% of the total variance is found. Cronbach-alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.825.
Conclusion: The result of this study support that “Attitude Scale Towards Social Hand Washing on Nursing Student” is valid, reliable and can be used in nursing students.

Abstract
Amaç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin sosyal el yıkama tutumlarını ölçmeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek geliştirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu metodolojik çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü’nde öğrenim gören 369 öğrenciden toplanan verilerle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Oluşturulan ölçek taslağı, kapsam geçerliği için 11 uzmanın görüşüne sunulmuştur. Yapı geçerliği açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Ölçeğin analizleri Cronbach-alfa katsayısı, pearson korelasyon katsayısı kullanılarak yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Yapılan analizler sonucunda ölçekte toplam varyansın %45,30’ını açıklayan 20 maddeden oluşan üç faktörlü bir yapı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ölçeğin toplam Cronbach-alfa değeri 0,825 olarak saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Araştırmanın sonucunda elde edilen bulgular “Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Sosyal El Yıkamaya Yönelik Tutumları Ölçeği”nin hemşirelik öğrencileri için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu desteklemektedir.
