Özet

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Knowledge of Sexual Healthcare (KSH), Attitude to Sexual Healthcare (ASH), and Self-Efficacy for Sexual Healthcare (SESH) scales of the Sexual Healthcare Questionnaire. Methods: This study included 381 participants who were second- and third-year Turkish nursing students. We analyzed the construct validity, test–retest reliability, and internal consistency of the scales. Results: Kuder–Richardson-20 (KR-20) reliability coefficient of the 31-item KSH scale was.99 and consisted of three sub-dimensions. The confirmatory factor analysis supported the three-factor structure of the ASH scale consisting of 18 items. The final version of the 22-item SESH scale includes 15 items. Conclusions: The use of scales to determine Turkish nursing students’ knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy toward sexual health services was encouraged.
