Abstract
Physicians, like other healthcare professionals, frequently encounter situations requiring moral courage in their professional lives. However, studies on the moral courage of physicians are limited in the literature. This study aims to evaluate the Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Moral Courage Scale for Physicians (MCSP) and to contribute to national and international studies on moral courage among physicians. This methodological study involved the adaptation, validation, and reliability assessment of the MCSP in Turkish. The scale’s internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach’s α coefficient, and the total correlation coefficients for the items were calculated. Test-retest reliability was assessed using a two-group design. The Turkish version of the MCSP demonstrated high internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s α coefficient of 0.91. The total correlation…
