Objective: This study was carried out to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of nursing students' perception of instructor caring. Material and Methods: While the methodological study's population was composed of all Maltepe University School of Nursing students, its sample was composed of 320 students. Nursing Students' Perception of Instructor Caring Scale was used to collect data. In the validity study of the scale, language equivalence was ensured, expert opinions were obtained for content validity, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for construct validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, item-total correlation and test-retest reliability were done within the reliability analysis of the scale. Results: In accord with experts' opinions, it was determined that all items should remain in the scale. Two items that showed a factor weight value below of 0.30 as the result of a factor analysis was removed from the scale. The scale's Cronbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.94 and sub-dimensions' Cronbach alpha levels were found to vary between 0.83 and 0.91. Conclusion: 'Turkish Version of Nursing Students' Perception of Instructor Caring Scale' is a reliable and valid assessment instrument in determining the nursing students' perception of instructor caring in the Turkish society.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Eğitmen Bakımına İlişkin Algıları Ölçeği?nin Türkçe geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin yapılması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu metadolojik çalışmanın evrenini, Maltepe Üniversitesi Hemşirelik Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin tümü oluştururken örneklemini, çalışmaya katılmaya istekli olan 320 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Ölçeğin geçerlik çalışmasında, dil eşdeğerliği sağlanmış, kapsam geçerliliği için uzman görüşleri alınmış, yapı geçerliliği için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik analizleri kapsamında Cronbach-alfa katsayısı, madde toplam korelasyonları ve test-tekrar test güvenirliği yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda maddelerin tümünün ölçekte kalması gerektiği belirlenmiş, faktör analizinin sonucunda ise faktör yük değeri 0,30'un altında kalan iki madde ölçekten çıkarılmıştır. Ölçeğin Cronbach alfa katsayısının 0,94 olduğu ve alt boyutlarının Cronbach alfa düzeylerinin 0,83 ila 0,91 arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Türk toplumunda hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitmen bakımına ilişkin algılarının belirlenmesinde 'Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Eğitmen Bakımına İlişkin Algıları Ölçeği'nin güvenilir ve geçerli bir araç olduğu saptanmıştır.
