Purpose: To determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the compassionate communication scale (CCS).
Design And Methods: The methodological and cross-sectional study design was used. The study was conducted with 319 nursing students in Turkey. Data were collected using an information form, the CCS, and the compassionate love scale.
Findings: The explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed the three-factor structure of the scale. Cronbach's α, item-total correlation, test-retest analysis, and equivalent form analysis showed high reliability. The Turkish version of CCS is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating sensitive communication.
Practice Implications: CCS is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate the communication skills of nursing students.

Healthcare is defined by rapidly advancing technologies and increased patient expectations, resulting in frequent disagreements between patients, their families, and medical practitioners. Historically, these conflicts have been settled through the adversarial court system, which frequently fails to produce equitable results due to unequal legal representation, procedural difficulties, and other shortcomings. This analysis investigates mediation, a type of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), as a viable option for addressing healthcare disputes.

Objective: Both opioid misuse and overdose mortality have disproportionately impacted the American Indian population. Although medications for opioid use disorder, such as buprenorphine (BUP-NX), are highly effective in reducing overdose mortality, questions have been raised about the cultural acceptability of Western medical approaches in this population. Understanding patients' desired recovery pathways can lead to more culturally appropriate, patient-centered, and effective approaches to opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment.
