Cultural adaptation of the revised Basel Instrument for Rationing of Care to the Turkish context: a study of validity and reliability.

Background: Studies have shown that nurses do not complete one or more necessary nursing care elements in their last shift due to lack of time. The Basel Extent of Rationing Nursing Care (BERNCA) instrument is one of the most used scales to measure the rationing of nursing care.

Aim: This study is aimed to culturally adapt the revised BERNCA (BERNCA-R) instrument to the Turkish language and to test its validity and reliability.
