Introduction and Aim: The work environment is a concept that includes work-related factors that increase or decrease a nurse's ability to practice the nursing profession competently and provide high-quality care. This study aims to adapt the short form of the Nursing Work IndexNursing Work Environment Assessment Scale, which is used in many countries to evaluate the nursing work environment, to Turkish. Method: The sample of this methodologically designed study consisted of 711 nurses. The researchers received permission from the scale owner and the Koç University Social Sciences Research Ethics Committee to conduct the study (Date: 07.10.2024, Number: 2024.316.IRB3.125). After the translation and back translation of a short form the Practice Environment Scale of The Nursing Work Index, which consists of five items, expert opinions were received from nine academicians and six nurse managers for the draft form. The items' content validity rates and the scale's content validity index were calculated according to the Davis technique. The researchers collected data between October and December 2024 using Microsoft.form via social media accounts. The researchers tested the validity and reliability of the scale with item-total score correlation analyses, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and Cronbach's alpha internal consistency analysis, respectively. The scale's invariance over time was also tested with 47 nurses separate from the study sample. Results: The sample of this methodologically designed study consisted of 711 nurses.

Conclusion: The short form of the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-5) was adapted for use by managers and researchers in the relevant field to assess the quality of nurses' work environments.
