Aim: The aim of this study is to perform the validity and reliability study of the
Turkish version of the Management of Workplace Violence Competence Scale
(MWVCS) for Nursing Students.
Method: The methodological and cross‐sectional study design was used in the
method of the study. The research was carried out with 300 nursing students in
Turkey. Data were collected using the personal information form and MWVCS.
Results: Explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed
the four‐factor structure of the scale. Cronbach's α, item‐total correlation, test–retest
analysis, and equivalent form analysis showed high reliability. The MWVCS consists of
28 items on a five‐point Likert‐type scale. Four factors explained 88.729 of the total
variance explained. The content validity index of the scale is 0.99. Cronbach's α of the
scale was 0.880 and test–retest correlations were found as 0.76.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of the MWVCS is a valid and reliable tool for
assessing students' workplace violence.
