Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of ‘The Children’s Trust in General Nurses Scale’
Abstract
Aim: This research was a methodological study aiming to prove the validity and reliability of the Children's Trust in General Nurses Scale (CTGNS) in Turkish language.
Method: Our sample included a total of 221 students aged between 9 and 12 from 13 primary and secondary schools in the city center. An informed consent form and a family data collection form were sent to all families for data collection. The Turkish trust scale form and student data collection form were filled by the students. The content validity index was calculated, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value and Bartlett's test were examined, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed for construct validity. For reliability, Cronbach's Alpha value (α) from internal consistency analysis was checked.
Results: The average age of the students was 10.35 ±0.97 years. The internal reliability Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.72. The results of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett's test were statistically significant. After the exploratory factor analysis, the scale was found to explain 56.76% of the total variance in 3 subscales. As confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the compatibility values of the scale were RMSEA=0.068, p<0.005, chi-square(χ2) =69.23.
Conclusion: The study on the validity and reliability of ‘The Children's Trust in General Nurses Scale (CTGNS)’ in the Turkish language demonstrated that the scale is valid and reliable for use in Türkiye."
