Summary:Objectives: The aim of this study is to develop the "Developing an Ethical Attitude Scale for Pain Management in Nursing" to assign the ethical attitudes of nurses in pain management. Methods: The population of the study comprised nurses (n=411) working in a university hospital in Izmir. The Ethical Attitude Scale in Nursing Pain Management was developed in five sub-dimensions: "Care and Dignity," "Ethical Values," "Attitude," "Rights," and "Pain Management." This scale was created by examining many research studies related to pain management in nursing in the literature and taking expert opinions. "The Ethical Attitude Scale in Nursing Pain Management" initially consisted of 36 items. After expert opinions and validity analyses, the draft scale was reduced to 34 items, and then reliability analysis further reduced the scale to 23 items. Results: In the validity and reliability study of "The Ethical Attitude Scale in Nursing Pain Management," the total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.86. The Cronbach's alpha value for the "Care and Dignity" sub-dimension was 0.88; for the "Ethical Values" sub-dimension, it was 0.83; for the "Attitude" sub-dimension, it was 0.86; for the "Rights" sub-dimension, it was 0.79; and for the "Pain Management" sub-dimension, it was 0.72. Conclusion: According to these data, it was determined that "The Ethical Attitude Scale in Nursing Pain Management" is a valid and reliable scale.
