Özet
Objective: This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the work readiness scale for graduate nurses among senior-class Turkish nursing students. Methods: This is a study of methodological design. A method of translation-back translation, pilot testing, and exploring content validity through a review of 10 raters-was used to create the Turkish version of the work readiness scale. The work readiness scale for graduate nurses was applied to 1008 senior nursing students enrolled in 15 universities in Turkey. Demo version of SPSS 28 and Lisrel 9.2 for Windows was used for statistical analysis. Reliability was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha, and the scale's factor construct was explored with confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The content validity index of the scale was found to be 0.97. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the general fit coefficients related to a 4-factor model were acceptable. The convergent and discriminant validity results obtained from factor loadings were largely supported. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.93. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the work readiness scale for graduate nurses was found to be valid and reliable and can be used in the Turkish population to assess work readiness.
