Abstract
- Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a self‐assessment scale for nurses' ethical behaviours for protecting patients' rights and to determine its reliability and validity. Methods: This was a methodological study. This study was conducted in public, private and university hospitals in Turkey between August 2018 and May 2019. The sample group consisted of 450 nurses. The item pool was formed with 44 items. After five experts' assessment for content validity, the draft scale was formed with 37 items with a 5‐point Likert‐type scale. The item‐total score correlation and exploratory factor analysis were used. Results: The scale included 28 items and five subscales (respect for right to information and decision making, providing fair care, providing benefit‐not harming, respect for patient values and choices, attention to privacy). Cronbach's alpha was 0.84 for the whole scale. Conclusion: Validity and reliability have been demonstrated for a newly developed scale to measure nurses' ethical behaviours to protect patients' rights. Summary statement: What is already known about this topic? Valid and reliable measurement tools can provide nurses with data on the extent to which nurses internalize the information they have acquired to protect patients' rights.No scale has yet been developed to determine nurses' behaviours to protect patients' rights. What this paper adds? The Nurses' Ethical Behaviours for Protecting Patients' Rights Scale is a valid and reliable data collection tool.Nurses' ethical behaviours for protecting patients' rights can now be measured with a valid and reliable tool. The implications of this paper The Nurses' Ethical Behaviours for Protecting Patients' Rights Scale could play guiding role in organizing activities for determining and developing nurses' behaviours for protecting patients' rights.
