Aim: Nursing students witness ethical and moral problems in health care settings and can even be involved in these situations. A student who wants to act for a solution with a sense of responsibility cannot take action due to his/her position and may feel powerless, inadequate, and helpless. This condition, defined as Moral Distress (MD), should be recognized, evaluated, and intervened by nurse educators to protect students' health, prevent weakness and provide qualified education. The study aims to introduce a valid and reliable measuring instrument to the Turkish Language and Culture that can be used to measure the MD levels of nursing students.
Material and Methods: The sample of the study, which was carried out in methodological type, consisted of 410 3rd and 4th-grade nursing students studying at 48 different universities in 35 cities in Turkey. The data were collected online using the Participant Information form and Moral Distress Scale for Nursing Students (MDS-NS).
Results: As a result of the explanatory factor analysis, different from the original scale structure, a three-factor structure that explains 47.64% of the total variance was determined. The reliability of the MDS-NS was evaluated with the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, test-retest method, and the item-total correlation coefficient. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient was .94 for the total scale and .85-.92 for the sub-dimensions.
Conclusion: With its 41-item and three-factor structure, the MDS-NS is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the moral distress of nursing students. It is recommended to utilize MDS-NS in studies conducted to recognize, identify and measure MD, reduce MD and cope with MD.

Amaç: Hemşirelik öğrencileri, sağlık bakım ortamlarında etik ve ahlaki sorunları gözlemlemekte hatta bu durumların içerisinde olabilmektedir. Sorumluluk duygusuyla sorunun çözümü için harekete geçme isteği duyan öğrenci, pozisyonu nedeniyle eyleme geçememekte, kendini güçsüz, yetersiz ve çaresiz hissedebilmektedir. Moral Distres olarak tanımlanan bu durum, öğrencilerin sağlığını korumak, güçsüzlüğü önlemek ve nitelikli eğitimi sağlamak için hemşire eğitimciler tarafından tanınmalı, değerlendirilmeli ve müdahale edilmelidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin, moral distres düzeyinin ölçülmesinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm gerecini Türk dili ve kültürüne kazandırmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Metodolojik tipte gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın örneklemini, Türkiye’deki 35 ilde 48 farklı üniversitede eğitim alan 410, 3. ve 4. sınıf hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Katılımcı Bilgi formu ve Hemşirelik Öğrencileri için Moral Distres Ölçeği (HÖ-MDÖ) ile online olarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda orijinal ölçek yapısından farklı olarak toplam varyansın %47.64’ünü açıklayan üç faktörlü yapı belirlenmiştir. HÖ-MDÖ’nün güvenirliği Cronbach Alfa katsayısı, test tekrar test yöntemi ve madde bütün korelasyon katsayısı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Cronbach Alfa katsayısı toplam ölçek için .94, alt boyutların .85-.92 aralığında bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: HÖ-MDÖ’nün, 41 madde ve üç alt faktörlü yapısı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin moral distres düzeylerini ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir gereçtir. Moral distresi tanıma, belirleme ve ölçme, moral distresi azaltma ve baş etmeye yönelik çalışmalarda, HÖ-MDÖ’nün kullanılması önerilmektedir.
