Özet:

 Purpose: This study aims to test the Turkish validity and reliability of the Fall Prevention Knowledge Test assessing the knowledge level of nurses in the clinical setting regarding fall prevention. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out with nurses working at a university hospital between 16 February and 31 March 2022. The study group consisted of 250 nurses, who had been working as nurses for at least six months and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The study data was collected by using The Nurse Information Form and Fall Prevention Knowledge Test. Content validity, item difficulty and item discrimination indices, KR-20 coefficient, and intra-class correlation coefficient were used in the data analyses. Results: It was determined that 75.2 of the nurses participating in the study were female, 50.8 were married, and 75.6 had a bachelors degree. The mean age of the nurses participating in the present study was 29.226.55 years, the mean work experience was 6.846.60 years, and the mean weekly working hours were 44.106.76 hours. It was found that 96.8 of the nurses knew about the risk of fall, and 96.0 knew about fall prevention practices. The content validity index of the test was found to be 0.836 and the KR-20 reliability coefficient for the scale was calculated to be 0.713. Conclusions: The Fall Prevention Knowledge Test 11 items is a valid and reliable test for measuring the knowledge level of nurses working in hospitals in Türkiye.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, klinik ortamda çalışan hemşirelerin düşmeyi önleme bilgi düzeylerini değerlendirmeye yönelik Düşmeyi Önleme Bilgi Testinin Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenirliğini test etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma, 16 Şubat-31 Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan hemşireler ile metodolojik olarak gerçekleştirildi. Çalışma grubunu, en az altı aydır hemşire olarak çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 250 hemşire oluşturdu. Araştırmanın verileri Hemşire Bilgi Formu ve Düşmeyi Önleme Bilgi Testi kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda kapsam geçerliği, madde güçlük indeksi ve madde ayırt edicilik indeksleri, KR-20 katsayısı, sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin 75,2si kadın, 50,8i evli ve 75,6sı lisans mezunudur. Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 29,226,55 yıl, ortalama iş tecrübesi 6,846,60 yıl, haftalık ortalama çalışma saati 44,106,76 saat idi. Hemşirelerin 96,8inin düşme riskini bildiği, 96,0sının ise düşmeyi önleme uygulamalarını bildiği belirlendi. Testin kapsam geçerlik indeksi 0,836 olarak bulundu. Ölçeğin KR-20 güvenirlik katsayısı 0,713 olarak hesaplandı. Sonuç: Düşmeyi Önleme Bilgi Testi 11 madde ülkemizdeki hastanelerde çalışan hemşirelerin bilgi düzeylerini ölçmeye yönelik geçerli ve güvenilir bir testtir.
