The Turkish version of the Nurses' Occupational Stressor Scale: A validity and reliability study
Purpose The study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the "Nurses' Occupational Stressor Scale," which was developed to determine the occupational stressors that nurses experience during work. Design and Methods "Nurses' Introductory Form" and "Nurses' Occupational Stressor Scale" were used to collect the research data. Findings The factor loading values of the scale items varied between 0.351 and 0.670. X-2/SD was 2.27, Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) = 0.92, Adjusted GFI = 0.92, Comparative Fit Index = 0.91, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.061, and Standardized Root Mean Square Residual = 0.055. As a result, the scale was shaped with 21 items and a single dimension. Practice Implications "Nurses' Occupational Stressor Scale" is a valid and reliable scale. Using this scale, stressors in nurses' work environment can be measured, and while intervention is applied, the effectiveness of such intervention can be evaluated.
