چکیده   

background  & aim: nurses professional values are standards for action and provide a frame- work for evaluating behaviors. this paper is the report of a study designed to assess the psycho- metric  properties  of  the  turkish  version  of  the  nurses  professional  values  scale-revised (npvs-r).
methods & materials: this methodological study was carried out a university hospital in izmir, the third most populous city in turkey. the sample consisted of 228 nurses, who were recruited from january to august 2008. data were collected with a socio-demographic form (11 questions) and the turkish version of the npvs-r (26 items). many researchers in various countries have used npvs-r to identify the professional values of nurses or nursing students. content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and reliability were assessed. a p < 0.050 was considered as statistically significant.
results: responses to the npvs-r were subjected to exploratory and confirmatory factor analy- sis. principal  components  analysis  with varimax  rotation  and kaiser  normalization  resulted  in four-factor solution explaining 52.41% of the common variance, and four factors named profes- sionalism, caring, activism, and trust. findings supported internal consistency reliability of four factors with alpha coefficients from 0.72 to 0.86 and a total scale alpha coefficient of 0.92. total- item correlation coefficients ranged from 0.38 to 0.71.
conclusion: the study findings showed that the turkish version of the npvs-r has a good struc- tural characteristic and is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for measuring profes- sional values.
