Özet
Objective: This research was performed methodologically in order to develop a scale for examining the nurses' attitudes towards forensic psychiatric patients and to determine the validity and reliability of the scale. Method: The research was carried out with 650 nurses accepted to participate in the research. Evaluation of the data was done on 536 questionnaires. In the research, Information Form, the Belief Towards Mental Illness Scale (BMIS) and the Nurses' Attitude Towards Forensic Psychiatric Patients Scale (NAFPPS) were used. NAFPPS was developed in two processes as qualitative (theoretical) and quantitative. In the qualitative process, "focus group discussion", "composition forms" and various attitude scales published in the literature were applied. In the quantitative process, validity and reliability analysis was performed. Results: Content validity index (CVI) was found to be 0.69 and concurrent validity with BMIS was 0.44. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficient determining the internal consistency was 0.86, intracluster correlation coefficient was 0.86, and stability factor determining the consistency between pre-test and re-test 0.69. It was observed that NAFPPS consisted of four subdimensions. The highest score that can be achieved on the scale is "125", the lowest one is "25". High score shows the positive attitude towards the forensic psychiatric patient. Discussion: In the light of these data, the NAFPPS was found to be valid and reliable.
