Abstract

Background:Purpose: This study aims to conduct the reliability and validity study of the Turkish

version of the Nurse Stress Scale (NSS), which determines the job stress of nurses.
Design and Methods: The sample of the methodological study consisted of 349 nurses.
Results: The factor load of the scale was in the appropriate range (0.32‐0.79),
Cronbach's α was determined as .928, and the item total score correlations ranged
between 0.418 and 0.662. The test‐retest reliability coefficient was determined to
be r = .859.
Practice Implications: The Turkish version of the NSS was evaluated and it was
found that it could be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool in Turkish
nurses. Health care service providers can use NSS to determine the work stress of
nurses.
