Abstract :Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to develop the \"Korzul clinical practice attitude scale\" in order to determine the attitudes of students in health branch, who perform clinical practices such as nursing, midwifery and elderly care program, etc., towards clinical practice. Methods and Materials: An experiment form consisting of 44 expressions validated in terms of language and psychometry was applied to a sample of 1203 participants, of which 68% were female and whose age range was 18-34 years. In order to test the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient and test-retest consistency were calculated. Results: The developed \"Korzul clinical practice attitude scale\" consists of 4 sub-dimensions and 25 items, and it can explain 52.9 of the total variance for clinical practice attitudes. The total score of the scale ranges from 25 to 125, and the increase in score means a positive attitude towards clinical practice. The general Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as .90, which indicates high reliability. Conclusions: According to the results, it is observed that the \"Korzul clinical practice attitude scale,\"of which validity and reliability study was performed for the purpose of measuring attitudes towards clinical practice, can perform measurements in a valid and reliable way.
