Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Gender Roles Attitudes Scale-Turkish Version (GRAS-TR) and evaluate nursing students' gender role attitudes.

Design and methods: This was a psychometric and descriptive study. The sample consisted of 916 nursing students at two state universities in Turkey.

Findings: The content validity index of the scale was 0.89. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the fit indices were acceptable/good. Test-retest results and Cronbach alpha coefficient showed that the scale has high reliability. Nursing students scored above midlevel from GRAS-TR.

Practice implications: GRAS-TR is a valid and reliable instrument. Nursing students who were women, had postgraduate education, few siblings, and were not born/raised in the eastern region had a more egalitarian attitude.

Keywords: gender roles; nursing students; psychometric properties; reliability; validity.
