Abstract
Background: Translation and adaptation of English-language tools for use in communities speaking other languages is a facilitating factor for conducting nursing and health-related research. Aim: To test the validity and reliability of the Nursing Clinical Facilitators Questionnaire (NCFQ) for Turkish society. Methods: The study was carried out on 316 students between September 2022 and April 2023. The results were tested with validity and reliability analyzers such as factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, and item-total score analysis. Results: The scale comprised 22 items including three subdimensions. In both exploratory and confirmatory factor tests, the overall factor loading was greater than 0.30. In the confirmatory factor analysis, all the goodness of fit indexes were greater than 0.87, and the root mean square error of approximation was less than 0.07. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.92, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging between 0.55 and 0.88 for the subscales. Conclusion: NCFQ was found to be a valid and reliable scale for the Turkish population.
