Aim: This study aims to linguistically adapt the Turkish version of the Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale–Revised Short Form (PPCS-R-SF) and to evaluate its validity and reliability.Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 90 nurses working in the surgical units of a university hospital. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the PPCS-R-SF, adapted to 18 items to represent clinical practices in Türkiye based on expert panel opinions. Translation-back translation was used for linguistic validity, and the content validity index (CVI) was used for content validity. Construct validity was tested with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and reliability was tested with Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients.Results: The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be . 852; the reliability coefficients of the sub-dimensions ranged from .632 to .769. Sample adequacy (KMO=.786) and Bartlett test (p
