- Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of ‘attitudes of nurses towards the patient’s use of TCM’ (APUTCM) and ‘communicative competence in TCM’ (CCTCM) scales. Materials and Methods: A total of 196 nurses participated in the study. A Nurse Information Form, APUTCM and CCTCM, and Holistic Complementary Alternative Medicine Questionnaire (HCAMQ) were used for data collection. Content Validity Index, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s α, item-scale correlation, test-retest, and parallel forms reliability were used to evaluate validity and reliability. Results: Of the participants, 76.0% were female and the mean age was 31.6±5.8 years. Content validity indexes of the scales were over 0.87. The factor loadings were over 0.612 for both scales. Cronbach’s α values of APUTCM and CCTCM were 0.955 and 0.928 respectively. Conclusions: Both scales were found valid and reliable in Turkish society to measure the attitudes of nurses toward the patient’s use of TCM and nurses’ communicative competence in TCM.
