title: Turkish version of the revised nursing professional values scale: validity and reliability assessment.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of a Turkish version of the Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS-R).
  
  
  METHODS
  The sample of this methodological study consisted of 385 participants, including senior undergraduate nursing students (n = 328) and clinical nurses (n = 57). Data was collected using the NPVS-R. For NPVS validity, content validity and construct validity were analyzed. The content validity index (CVI) was used to determine item validity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Item CVI ranged from 0.78 to 1.0, and total CVI was 0.93. Construct validity was examined using factor analysis and the five factors were identified as original NPVS-R. Chronbach's alpha was used to assess the internal consistency reliability. The 26-item NPVS had a standardized alpha coefficient of 0.92. Test-retest reliability scale was r = 0.76 (P < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our analyses showed that the Turkish version of NPVS-R has high validity and reliability.
