Test/Retest Reliability of a Turkish Version of the Genetics and Genomics in Nursing Practice Survey

Background and Purpose: The Genetics and Genomics in Nursing Practice Survey (GGNPS) was developed to evaluate the use of genetics in clinical practice. This study aimed to translate the GGNPS into Turkish and perform the test/retest reliability. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional research design was used to collect data. Data were collected two times with similar to 3-7 weeks apart by using RedCap software. Results: At Time 1, a total of 385 nurses completed the survey; at Time 2, 88 nurses completed the retest survey. Findings show that one item has a slight agreement, 9 items fair agreements and 18 items moderate agreements, and 19 items substantial agreements between Times 1 and 2. Conclusions: The Turkish version of GGNPS appears to be a reliable instrument.
