The aim of this study is to develop a Medical Profession Value Perception Scale (MPVS) and to assess its validity among medical students. <a href="Methods:This">Methods:This </a> study carried out on 456 first, third and sixth year medical students studying at Eskisehir Osmangazi Medical Faculty. MVPS was created using literature consisting of 23 questions by the researchers, 5-point Likert-type. Item total correlations, internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and test retest correlation were used to assess the reliability of thescale. Wilcoxon test wasusedforcomparison of means and Spearman correlation analysis was used for test retest correlation. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used for construct validity. Results: The scale was formed of 18 items and 3 dimensions (attitude of doctors, doctor patient relationship, doctor’s ability to empathize). Scale items explain 49.62% of total variance and factor loadings ranged from 0.41-0.73. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was 0.88. As a result of theconfirmatoryfactoranalysis, the fit of scaleandthe fit indiceswerefoundto be acceptable. Conclusions: Medical Profession Value Perception Scale is sufficiently reliable and valid scale according to the analysis results. <br> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Halk Sağlığı Uzmanları Derneği} }
