Özet

Purpose: This study aims to conduct the reliability and validity study of the Turkish version of the Nurse Stress Scale (NSS), which determines the job stress of nurses. Design and Methods: The sample of the methodological study consisted of 349 nurses. Results: The factor load of the scale was in the appropriate range (0.32-0.79), Cronbach's α was determined as.928, and the item total score correlations ranged between 0.418 and 0.662. The test-retest reliability coefficient was determined to be r =.859. Practice Implications: The Turkish version of the NSS was evaluated and it was found that it could be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool in Turkish nurses. Health care service providers can use NSS to determine the work stress of nurses.
