This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the XXX version of the Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale (NNCS). The secondary goal of this study was to assess the degree of collaboration between nurses in Italy. <strong>Methods</strong>: First, the cultural adaptation of the NNCS tool was performed. The face and content validity of the tool were assessed through the involvement of nursing experts. To test construct validity, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 362 nurses. <strong>Results</strong>: The Italian version of the NNCS was composed of 23 items distributed across five domains. The five-dimensional model showed an adequate model goodness of fit (RMSEA=0.075, CFI=0.883, SRMR=0.072). The NNCS dimension with the highest average score was <em>Professionalism</em> (M=3.10 ± 0.45), while <em>Conflict Management</em> (M=2.14 ± 0.47) exhibited the lowest score. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The Italian version of the NNCS is a valid and reliable tool. More effort should be made to ensure the proper management of conflicts in healthcare environments.</p>}, number={S2}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Marcomini, Ilaria and Pendoni, Roberta and Rosa, Debora and Locatelli, Giulia and Milani, Laura and Terzoni, Stefano and Celik Durmus, Serpil}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={e2022148} }
