Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the short form biomedical ethics scale.
Methods: The research design for this study consisted of a methodological approach. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to evaluate the construct validity, and linear regression and correlation between original scale and short
form for convergent validity. Reliability was also evaluated by analyzing intra-class coefficient (ICC) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α coefficient). Data were collected from298 nursing students using self-reported questionnaires
and analyzed with SPSS/WIN 21.0 version.
Results: The short form biomedical ethics scale was constructed with 29-items. It has a strong explanation (adjusted R2=0.883) and high correlation (r=0.62) with the 49-itemformand demonstrated sufficient ICC (α=.96) and internal consistency (α=.80).
Conclusion: The 29-item short form biomedical ethics scale is a valid and reliable tool to measure nursing students’ and other healthcare personnel’s attitudes toward biomedical ethics and supports ethical decision in healthcare practice.
