Detailed Description

Studies in the literature show that humanistic care perception should develop as a student. At this point, it is of great importance to know the competency level of nursing students regarding humanistic care. Although the evaluation of competency and professional development is an important point in nursing education, the difficulty of defining the concept of competency reveals the need for measurement tools. A valid and reliable scale is needed to be used in measuring the humanistic care competencies of nursing students. Reliable measurement of humanistic care competency in nursing students will guide the education curriculum. This study is an original study in its field as it is the development of a scale measuring competency regarding humanistic care.
