Methods This methodological study included 300 patients from a university hospital. The Turkish version of the scale underwent translation, cultural adaptation and content validity review. Construct validity was tested with confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed through Cronbach's alpha and item–total correlations. Convergent validity was examined using correlations with the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale. Results The Turkish adaptation of the PACT‐M successfully retained the original construct. Cronbach's alpha coefficients and item–total correlations indicated strong internal reliability. The two‐factor structure was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis, demonstrating an acceptable model fit, with all factor loadings statistically significant. In terms of convergent validity, the total PACT‐M score showed a significant low‐level positive correlation with the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale. Conclusions This study provides evidence supporting the psychometric adequacy of the Turkish version of the PACT‐M. The instrument appears to be a useful tool for assessing older adults' perceptions of care quality and safety during the transition from hospital to home. Its application in clinical practice may help identify patients who require additional support during the discharge and post‐discharge process. 10.1111/ijn.70113 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
