Design and Methods This methodological study was carried out with 227 nursing students between April and May 2019. Findings The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the total scale is 0.854, the test-retest coefficient was high for the total scale (r = 0.989), and total-item correlations ranged between 0.398 and 0.712.
