Popis: Purpose To investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Stress of Conscience Questionnaire (SCQ) and to determine its relationship to burnout among Turkish nurses. Design and Methods The sample of this study with a cross-sectional design comprised 375 nurses. The data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and SCQ. Findings The mean score of the nurses obtained from the overall SCQ was 85.36 +/- 39.3 (min: 0; max: 225). The highest scored item by the nurses was related to lack of energy to devote themselves to their families. There was a significant positive correlation between the Emotional Exhaustion-MBI scores and SCQ scores (r = 0.414, p < 0.001). Practice Implications The Turkish version of SCQ is a valid and reliable tool among Turkish nurses and is associated with emotional exhaustion.
