This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Moral Injury Scale. The Moral Injury Scale is a 5-Point Likert Type Scale and consists of 14 items and two subdimensions. The form items created on the Google Form were applied to 157 people after obtaining the necessary permission. At the beginning of the adaptation process of the scale to Turkish culture, necessary permission was first obtained from the responsible author through e-mail. After obtaining permission, the original scale items were translated from English into Turkish by five independent experts. And the translation process was continued through the panel work of the postgraduate students. Later, the Turkish form was translated back into English by two experts and a pilot study was conducted with a group of 30 participants so that the linguistic understandability of the items could be tested. The final version of the Turkish form was created based on the feedback obtained during the pilot study and with the support of a linguist. Based on the feedback obtained during the pilot study and with the support of a Turkish language expert, the final version of the Turkish form was created for the application. In the Confirmatory Factor Analysis conducted to test the structural validity of the Turkish version of the scale, the values related to the Goodness of Fit Indices were X2 = 127.788, sd = 76, and X2 /sd ratio was 1.68; and the RMSEA value was found to be .06. GFI and CFI, which are indicators of model-data fit, were calculated as .89 and .90, respectively, and RMR was calculated as .07. When the fit and failure indices of the Turkish form of the scale were examined, it was seen that the structural validity of the scale was ensured and the resulting findings confirmed the model.
