Two hundred thirty seven nurses working in a university hospital constituted the sample of this methodological study. The data of the study were collected using the Resilience Scale for Nurses and the personal information form. Language and content validity, construct validity and reliability value determination tests were conducted respectively. In the study, the scale’s content validity index was found to be 97.6%. The internal consistency reliability of the scale was found to be α = 0.86. According to the exploratory factor analysis, the total variance of the four-factor scale is 62.6%. The correlation values of total score of the items were between 0.35–0.62, and after the confirmatory factor analysis, the factor load of the items was between 0.469 and 0.792. It was found that the scale was a valid and reliable measurement tool that is applicable for Turkish society.
