N2  - AIM: The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Self-Efficacy for Preventing Falls - Nurse (SEPFN-T). <br><br>BACKGROUND: Patient falls have negative effects on patients and healthcare services. Nurses' self-efficacy for preventing falls can affect their performance in interventions to prevent falls. <br><br>METHOD: The sample of this methodological study included 326 nurses who work at a university, a training and a public hospital in Turkey. The construct validity of the scale was assessed using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the known-group technique. The reliability of the scale was assessed through internal consistency approaches and test-retest reliability. <br><br>RESULTS: Two factors were extracted through the EFA, and the factors explained 68.69% of total variance. The CFA showed a significantly good fit for a two-factor structure. Satisfactory evidence was found for test-retest reliability and internal consistency reliability. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The SEPFN-T is a reliable and valid scale for assessing nurses' self-efficacy for preventing falls. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers can assess nurses' self-efficacy for preventing falls by using the SEPFN-T. Moreover, they can identify where to focus on improving nurses' self-efficacy by analyzing scores of subscales and items.<br><br>© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
