The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the incivility occurrence’s questionnaire among Iranian students.

The samples were selected from the nursing students of second to fourth year from September to October 2019. McDonald’s omega, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and composite reliability were calculated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to investigate the construct validity of tool.

Results: Content validity index was 0.94 for the whole instrument. In factor analysis, three factors of irresponsible, violent, and unsound behaviors were identified. These factors explained more than 50.52% of the variance. Model fit indices Parsimonious Normed Fit Index) = 0.74, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.05, Parsimonious Comparative Fit Index = 0.78, Goodness‑of‑Fit Index = 0.92, Comparative Fit Index ( CFI) = 0.92, Adjusted Goodness‑of‑Fit Index) = 0.89, CIMN=2.58) indicated the proportion of factors. Internal consistency was 0.77 to 0.89.

Conclusions: This questionnaire is a three‑dimensional tool with appropriate validity and reliability that can be used to evaluate occurrence rate of nursing student incivility in Iran.
