    Cross-cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Nurse Occupational Stigma Scale (NOSS-TR)
    (BMC, 2025) Arkan, Burcu; Alban, Işıl; Kanbay, Yalçın
    Background While the stigmatizing tendencies of nurses towards patients have been the subject of frequent research, there is a notable lack of research evaluating the stigmatizing attitudes of patients towards nurses. This study aimed to adapt the Nurse Occupational Stigma Scale (NOSS), which was developed to assess occupational stigma towards the nursing profession, for use in Turkish culture and to examine its validity and reliability. Methods The study followed the COSMIN guidelines for scale adaptation and psychometric evaluation. Data were collected via social media using the snowball sampling method, yielding responses from 692 adults in Turkey. Of the sample, 55.4% were female, 45.4% were married, and 53.4% had higher education; the mean age was 31.9 +/- 11.1 years (range: 18-70). The adaptation process included forward-backward translation, expert review, and calculation of the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). Construct validity and internal validity were assessed, and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, Guttman's coefficient, and Spearman-Brown two-thirds test consistency were calculated to evaluate reliability. Results Ten experts participated in the content validity assessment, and the critical CVR value for 10 experts (.62) was exceeded by all items. The overall CVI value was 0.925 (CVI > CVR). Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); as a result of the analysis, the structure of the scale, comprising three factors and 11 items, was confirmed. Model fit indices were found to be excellent (chi(2)/df= 2.923, RMSEA= 0.054, CFI = 0.97, GFI = 0.97, AGFI = 0.95, NFI = 0.95). Standardized factor loadings ranged between 0.47 to 0.84. In the internal validity analysis, 27% lower-upper group comparisons yielded significant results (p < 0.001). In the reliability analysis, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.80, and between 0.61 and 0.87 for the sub-dimensions. Additionally, Spearman-Brown and Omega reliability coefficients fell within the limits recommended in the literature. Conclusions In line with the findings, it was determined that the NOSS-TR is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing occupational stigmatization towards the nursing profession in Turkish culture.

    Development and psychometric evaluation of the artificial intelligence ethical awareness scale
    (Routledge, 2025) Kanbay, Yalçın; Arkan, Burcu; Akçam, Aysun; Varol, Belgin
    The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life has created ethical challenges, highlighting the need for responsible use. This methodological study developed the AI Ethical Awareness Scale to measure individuals’ awareness levels. Data were collected from 616 AI users, and analyses confirmed a three-factor, nine-item structure: Transparency, Integrity, and Awareness. The scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity, explaining 74.8% of the variance. Developed within the Turkish cultural context, it is a valid and reliable tool to assess AI ethical awareness. The AIEAS can be used to assess the effectiveness of ethics education programs or inform policy recommendations regarding responsible AI use. It also holds potential for adaptation across different cultural settings to support cross-cultural research.
