Aim: This methodological study was conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Eye Care Clinical Competence Questionnaire, which evaluates the clinical competence of nurses regarding eye care in intensive care patients.

Design: A methodological study.

Methods: The study included 175 nurses working in the ICUs of the hospitals where the study was conducted.

Results: Following factor analysis, based on the tetrachoric correlation matrix for the information sub-dimension, eight items were excluded from the questionnaire. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted for the questionnaire, the error variance value of item 26 was removed from the questionnaire. The final questionnaire adapted for the Turkish cultural context consisted of 26 items. Cronbach’s alpha value for the attitude sub-dimension was 0.87; the Cronbach alpha value for the application sub-dimension was 0.85, and the Cronbach alpha value for the questionnaire as a whole was 0.84.

Conclusion: It was found that the Turkish version of the Eye Care Clinical Competence Questionnaire was a valid and reliable measurement tool. This measurement tool can be used in studies to evaluate the clinical competence of intensive care nurses regarding eye care.
