ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, Sili ve ark. tarafından geliştirilen ''Hemşirelerde Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği''nin Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılarak, Türk toplumuna kazandırılması amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmada, olasılıksız örnekleme yöntemlerinden biri olan amaçlı örnekleme tekniği tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamı, Türkiye'deki Sağlık Bakanlığı'na bağlı hastanelerde çalışan hemşireleri içermektedir. Veri toplama süreci, sosyal medya hesapları aracılığıyla hemşirelere ulaşarak, çevrim içi bir veri toplama formu paylaşımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya toplamda 641 hemşire katılmıştır. Toplanan veriler, ''kişisel bilgi formu'' ve ''Hemşirelerde Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği'' aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmada incelenen toplam 28 maddelik ölçeğin Kapsam Geçerlik İndeksi, 21 madde için 0,90, geriye kalan 7 madde için ise 1,00 olarak belirlenmiştir. Ölçeğin madde-toplam korelasyon değerleri 0,404 ile 0,707 arasında değişirken, açıklayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda maddelerin faktör yükleri 0,581 ile 0,873 arasında bulunmuştur. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, uyum indeksleri şu değerlerle ortaya konmuştur: χ2 /serbestlik derecesi=2,855, yaklaşık hataların ortalama karekökü=0,044, artıkların karakök ortalaması=0,031, standartlaştırılmış ortalama hataların karekökü=0,048, Normlaştırılmış Uyum İndeksi=0,941, Tucker-Lewis İndeksi=0,961, Karşılaştırmalı Uyum İndeksi=0,970, Uyum İyiliği İndeksi=0,930 ve Düzeltilmiş Uyum İyiliği İndeksi=0,906. Bu değerler, ölçeğin kabul edilebilir ve iyi bir uyuma sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Ölçeğin Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı tüm ölçek için 0,937 olarak bulunurken, alt boyutlar için duygusal yaşam kalitesi 0,906, çalışma yaşam kalitesi 0,840, sosyal yaşam kalitesi 0,837 ve fiziksel yaşam kalitesi 0,859 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Hemşirelerin ölçek üzerindeki toplam puan ortalaması 58,11±14,45 olarak saptanmıştır. Ayrıca ölçeğin toplam puanı ile alt boyut puanları arasındaki ilişki 0,453 ile 0,879 arasında değişmekte olup, bu ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Sonuç: Elde edilen sonuçlar, ölçeğin Türkçeye geçerli ve güvenilir bir şekilde uyarlandığını ortaya koymuştur.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was carried out with the aim of making Turkish validity and reliability study of the ''Nurses Quality of Life Scale'' developed by Sili et al. to be introduced into Turkish society. Material and Methods: Purposeful sampling, a type of non-probability sampling method, was chosen for the research. The scope of the research includes nurses working in hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health in Türkiye. The data collection process was carried out online by sharing a data collection form through social media accounts, reaching out to nurses. A total of 641 nurses participated in the study. Data were collected using a personal information form and the ''Nurses' Quality of Life Scale.'' Results: The study's research revealed that the Content Validity Index for the total 28-item scale was determined to be 0.90 for 21 items and 1.00 for the remaining 7 items. While the itemtotal correlation values of the scale ranged from 0.404 to 0.707, the factor loadings of the items found in the exploratory factor analysis varied between 0.581 and 0.873. Confirmatory factor analysis presented the fit indices as follows: χ2 /degree of freedom=2.855, root mean square error of approximation=0.044, root mean square residuals=0.031, standardized root mean square residual=0.048, Normed Fit Index=0.941, Tucker-Lewis Index=0.961, Comparative Fit Index=0.970, Goodness of Fit Index=0.930, and Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index=0.906. These values indicate that the scale has acceptable and good fit. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the entire scale was found to be 0.937, while for the sub-dimensions, it was calculated as 0.906 for emotional life quality, 0.840 for work life quality, 0.837 for social life quality, and 0.859 for physical life quality. The total average score of the nurses on the scale was determined to be 58.11±14.45. Additionally, the relationship between the total score of the scale and the scores of the sub-dimensions varied from 0.453 to 0.879, and this relationship was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: The obtained results have demonstrated that the scale has been adapted to Turkish in a valid and reliable manner.
