Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Quality of Doctoral Education in Nursing
(QNDE) scale. The lack of a measurement tool examining the quality of doctoral education in nursing in a national context is the reason for
this study. Data were collected from 55 teaching staff and 225 doctorate students. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyzes were used
for test validity. Cronbach’s α coefficient of reliability, independent-sample t test, and test-retest analysis were calculated to test Reliability.
The factor loads ranged between 0.51-0.91.The construct validity was good (χ2/df =3.02; RMSEA = 0.085; CFI = 0.87; NFI = 0.90; GFI
= 0.79; TLI = 0.90; IFI =0.91; p < 0.001). The Cronbach alpha value of the scale was 0.94. The results of this study show that the Turkish
version of the Quality of Nursing Doctoral Education instrument is a valid and reliable tool.
