For this concept to be translated into practice, measurement tools developed in this field are of critical importance. Although several validated instruments assess structural, psychological, or behavioral empowerment separately, each having been validated independently, using distinct samples, scoring frameworks, and item structures, no instrument evaluating all three dimensions simultaneously within a single scale has been identified. This gap limits nurse managers in comprehensively diagnosing empowerment and in evaluating the effectiveness of empowerment interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was conducted to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool aiming to determine the empowerment levels of nurses in a multidimensional manner in terms of structural, psychological, and behavioral dimensions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In this methodological study, the standard scale development and validation procedures required for instruments to be psychometrically sound were employed. An initial 256\u2010item pool was generated based on a comprehensive literature review and an autoethnographic approach involving 36 nurses. Subsequently, face and content validity (Lawshe\u2019s technique) were evaluated. Data were collected between May and September 2017 from nurses (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091992) working across 10 hospitals affiliated with a regional health group in Istanbul; the study was completed with a final sample of 743 nurses (37.3%). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to determine the construct validity of the scale. Cronbach\u2019s alpha, item analyses, and test\u2013retest analyses were employed to assess reliability.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The draft nursing empowerment scale (NES), developed as a result of the face and content validity studies, consisted of 136 items and was administered to the sample group. The EFA conducted resulted in a NES consisting of 103 items and three factors (structural, psychological, and behavioral), explaining 49.95% of the total variance (KMO\u2009=\u20090.97; Bartlett\n                      <jats:italic>\u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u200958,144.65,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
