Abstract :Purpose: This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish validity and reliability of the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale. Method: This was a methodological study that was conducted in 2020-2021. The sample consisted of 294 bachelor nursing students of a university in Turkey. Data were collected using a student information form and Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the university and permission and informed consent was obtained from participants prior to the onset of research. Reliability was determined using test-retest, Cronbach’s Alpha (α), Guttman Split-Half Coefficient, Hotelling’s T2 test, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. Validity was determined using the First-Order Multifactor Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results: Participants had a mean age of 19.95±1.47 years. 86.7% were women and 28.6% were first-year students. Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale had a content validity index of 0.814. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale had factor loadings of 0.554 to 0.872, the goodness of fit indices of >0.85, and a root mean square error of approximation index of <3. The total scale had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.910, while the subscales had Cronbach’s alpha values of >0.70. The total scale Tukey’s test of additivity was F=67.467 (p≤0.001), and the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale had an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.91. Conclusion and Suggestions: The results showed that the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale is a valid and reliable scale for the Turkish sample.
