Abstract
Background: Türkiye frequently faces natural disasters, especially earthquakes. That’s why this study aimed to translate and validate the Disasters Nursing Readiness Evaluation Index (DNREI) for Nurses in Türkiye was developed by Maeda, et al. in 2018 to Turkish. Methods: This was cross-sectional and methodological research. The index used in this study was 37 items and 6 sub-dimensions. There search was conducted with 362 nurses selected through snow balling sampling. Disasters Nursing Readiness Evaluation Index-TR was applied to determine the validity and reliability using the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha analysis and the Split-Half Method were used to determine internal consistency. Dependent samples t- test to compare the test-retest scores for time invariance; and intra-class correlation coefficient. Results: The content validity of the Turkish version of the index is between 0.87 and 1.00. The content validity index score was found to be 0.92. The Split-Half method was applied to analyze reliability and there liability coefficients were found to be 0.83 and 0.85. As a result of theconfirmatory factor analysis of the DNERI-TR, it was found that the 6-factor structure of the scale was valid and the goodness of fit tests was appropriate. Conclusion: The “Disasters Nursing Readiness Evaluation Index-TR” was found to have a high level of reliability and validity for nurses in Türkiye to evaluate the disaster readiness of nurses and to develop a disaster education model for life-long learning.
