    (İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2021) Alan, Handan; Tiryaki Şen, Hanife; Bilgin, Osman; Polat, Şehrinaz
    The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Alarm Fatigue Questionnaire. Method: This study used a methodological design and a sample of 140 nurses working in intensive care units in three hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey. Data were collected with the "Personal Information Form" and the "Alarm Fatigue Scale". The data were analyzed at two stages involving adaptation and confirmation. In the adaptation process, four steps including “translation; back-translation; expert opinion; pilot study” were followed. In the confirmation process, four steps were followed. In the first step, item analyses were carried out. In the second step, to assess the factorability of the correlation matrix, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy test and Bartlett’s sphericity test were used. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to confirm the original construct. The third step involved testing the internal consistency of the scale. At the final stage, test-retest reliability was assessed by using Pearson’s correlation test and paired-samples t-test. Result: The tool consisted of 13 items and two subscales. Content validity ratings of the scale items were over 0.35. Fit indices were calculated as: ?2/df=1.453, RMSEA=0.059 and CFI=0.91 for the scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.71 for scale. Conclusion: Turkish version of the Alarm Fatigue Questionnaire can be used as a reliable and valid measurement tool for the evaluation of alarm fatigue experienced by nurses working in intensive care units in Turkey.

    Turkish Adaptation of the Scale of the Attitudes to Patient Safety: Nursing Student Sample
    (GALENOS PUBL HOUSE, Kaçamak Sokak 21/1, ISTANBUL, Fındıkzade 34093, TURKEY, 2022) Karaman, Funda; Alan, Handan
    Objective: Medical errors are very important problems in all health institutions around the world. Creating a patient safety culture is very important in reducing medical errors. Nurses have a special importance in terms of maintaining patient safety. Knowledge, skills and attitudes that can help improve patient safety and reduce medical errors can be gained through nursing education. There is no valid and reliable tool to measure nursing students’ attitudes towards patient safety culture. The aim of the research was to investigate whether the Turkish version of the patient safety attitude scale was a valid and reliable tool for nursing students. Methods: The study, which was designed methodologically, was carried out between February and April 2019. It was conducted with third- and fourth-year students (n=226) in the nursing department of a private university in Istanbul after obtaining ethical approval and institutional permissions. Results: According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the original scale did not generally comply with the factor structure. The scale was composed of 22 items and 4 factors. The total variance of the scale was 65.14%. As a result of the reliability analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.91. Conclusion: The scale that was developed by Carruthers et al. in 2009, was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool that could be used to measure the attitude of nursing students towards patient safety in Turkey.
