Abstract
PURPOSE: In this study, we examined the validity and reliability of the Compassion Competence Scale (CCS) by adapting it to Turkish. DESING AND METHODS: The data of the methodological research were obtained from 180 nursing students in the 3rd and 4th grades of the nursing department of a public university. FINDINGS: CCS Cronbach alpha coefficient was determined as 0.795; 0.758 for the "Communication" subdimension and 0.639 for the "Sensitivity" subdimension and 0.658 for the "Insight" subdimension. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: As a result of this research, it was identified that the CCS is a valid and reliable evaluation tool in assessing compassion competence in nursing students.
