Özet
Background: Debriefing is a key component of simulation-based education, and evaluating the quality of debriefing is important for improving learning outcomes. This study aimed to translate the Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare–Student Version (DASH-SV©) into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability. Methods: The study was conducted with 458 nursing students enrolled in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years of the Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing during the fall semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. Lawshe's method was used to assess content validity, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to examine construct validity, and reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's α, split-half correlation coefficients, item-total correlations, and parallel-forms reliability. Results: The scale-level content validity index was 0.85. CFA supported the original six-factor model of the Turkish version of the DASH-SV© (DASH-SV-TR), demonstrating acceptable model fit (χ²/df = 2.655, RMR = 0.063, GFI = 0.874, AGFI = 0.847, PGFI = 0.720, NFI = 0.899, RFI = 0.885, IFI = 0.934, TLI = 0.925, CFI = 0.934, RMSEA = 0.060). Statistically significant positive correlations were found between DASH-SV-TR overall score and all Debriefing Experience Scale subdimensions, with Pearson correlation coefficients ranging from 0.303 to 0.541 (all p < .001). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the DASH-SV-TR was 0.951. Conclusion: The DASH-SV-TR is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating students’ perceptions of debriefing quality in simulation-based education.
