Materials and Methods: This research is a methodological research. Language validity, content validity, construct validity, factor and reliability analyzes were performed for the validity and reliability of the scale.
Results: After language validity using the translation-back translation technique, content validity was performed and the content validity index score was determined as 0.80. In confirmatory factor analysis, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was found to be 0.853, 0.893 for the first sub-dimension, and 0.864 for the second sub-dimension.
Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the scale was similar to the original scale and the Turkish version of the scale was a valid and reliable measurement tool in evaluating nursing students' attitudes towards the use of cryptocurrencies.
