Özet

© 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.The purpose of the authors was to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing the status of privacy protection. This study was conducted methodologically. This scale was tested with 500 healthcare professionals who were employed in nine provinces in Turkey. The obtained data were used to test the scale’s validity and reliability. In the level of awareness section, the variance explained 47.13% of the total variance. In the frequency of application section, the variance explained 49.12% of the total variance. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as the level of awareness 0.95 and frequency of application sections 0.96. The time invariance of the scale indicated its high reliability, and the concurrent ­application validity was determined to be supported. This study prepared measurement tool of 5-point Likert-type consisting of two sections, two sub-scales, and 30 items was developed.
