Popis: Objective: The aim of this study is to adapt the Intrahospital Transfer Safety Scale into Turkish. Methods: It is a methodological study. One hundred twenty-nine surgical intensive care nurses participated in the study between May and June 2021. Data were collected online using the Sociodemographic and Occupational Characteristics Form and the Intrahospital Transfer Safety Scale. After the language validity was ensured, the data were analyzed with the Content Validity Index, Split Half Method, Cronbach alpha coefficient, Item Total Score Correlation, and Explanatory Factor Analysis values. Results: The mean age of the surgical intensive care nurses is 28.8+-6.8 years, 78.3% of them are undergraduate graduates and 42.6% of them work in the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit. The Content Validity Index of the scale was found to be 0.95. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.93 and it was determined that it had a high degree of reliability. In the explanatory factor analysis, four factors with an eigenvalue exceeding one were obtained and the total variance explained by these four factors was found to be 63.59%. Factors were determined as organization, tools and technologies, environment and team collaboration. Cronbach's alpha values were found to be between 0.73 and 0.92. Conclusion: The Intrahospital Transfer Safety Scale was found to be a valid and reliable tool.
