Abstract
Background: It is essential for nurses who care for individuals diagnosed with mental illness to establish a therapeutic relationship. There is no measurement tool available in Türkiye to assess the therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse.
Aim: The objective of this study is to perform a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of a scale that enables the evaluation of the quality of the therapeutic relationship established between nurses and patients.
Methods: 140 nurses were included in this study. The data were analysed using the exploratory and confirmatory analyses.
Results: The scale consists of 25 items and four sub-dimensions. In confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), all factor loads were >0.30. As a result of CFA, all fit indices were >0.85 and the root mean square approximation was <0.080. Cronbach alpha was 0.93 for the whole scale.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the TRAS-Nurse scale and its original version were compatible with each other and gave similar results. This scale can be used to determine the therapeutic relationship of nurses who care for psychiatric patients in Türkiye and can be a useful measurement tool when evaluating the factors that may be effective in improving the therapeutic relationship.
