Abstract
Background and Purpose: Nursing undergraduate students may encounter unkind behaviors during their clinical education. This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the "Uncivil Behavior in Clinical Nursing Education (UBCNE) Questionnaire," which measures nursing students' perceived levels of uncivil behavior in the clinical learning environment. Methods: The study was conducted in four steps: translation, face and content validity, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability assessment. Data were collected from 216 nursing students from Turkey. Results: In the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a unidimensional factor structure with an eigenvalue above 1 was detected, and therefore the scale was analyzed as a single dimension. In the EFA with 13 items, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.943, and the Barlett test result was 1862.965 (p <05). The fit indices for the class were calculated as χ2/df = 2.218, root-mean-square error of approximation = .075, and comparative fit index = 0.961. Cronbach's coefficient α (alpha) for Turkish culture was .942. Conclusion: The study showed that the Turkish version of the UBCNE scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing perceived incivil behaviours in nursing students' clinical education.
