Abstract :The aim of this study is to develop the \"Xenophobia in Healthcare Delivery Scale\" and evaluate its validity and reliability in our society. It is a methodological scale development study carried out between September and December 2023. In scale development studies, it is recommended that the sample size be 10-20 times the number of questions in the scale. Since the scale planned to be developed consists of 18 questions, it was decided that the sample would consist of 360 participants working in a tertiary hospital. The data were evaluated with SPSS and AMOS package programs. As validity analysis; Content Validity Index was applied for content validity, and Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were applied for construct validity. As reliability analyses; Internal consistency analysis (Cronbach\'s Alpha Coefficient), test-retest reliability and item analysis based on lower-upper groups were applied. The study was completed with 101 male (27.7%) and 264 female (72.3%) participants with an average age of 31.5±7.5 (min=21, max=59). As a result of exploratory factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin coefficient was found to be 0.91 and the Bartlett test result was also found to be significant (X2=2470.8 and p<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis values were found to be X²/df= 2.94, GFI= 0.901, AGFI= 0.866, CFI= 0.912, RMSEA= 0.073. Within the scope of the reliability analysis of the XHCD Scale, Cronbach\'s alpha value was found to be 0.88. As a result, it has been proven that the scale can be used as a valid and reliable scale in Turkish society and culture.
