The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Nurses Self-Concept Instrument in a sample of 483 Spanish registered nurses. In addition, we analyzed gender differences in its dimensions in the same sample. Internal reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s Alpha, while construct validity was assessed using both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The differences between groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Factor distribution was different from the original model. A gender gap was observed in the Nurse Thinking and Perception of Capabilities dimensions with higher values in the women group, while in the Leadership dimension, higher values were observed in the men group. While the Spanish version of the Nurses Self-Concept Instrument is a valid and reliable tool to measure this construct, the differences in its dimensions lead to a deeper understanding of the cultural differences in the construction of professional self-concept. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.808 2023 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2023 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2023 Q2 Pollution 2023 Q2 7.3 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Navas-Ferrer, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2887-7835 Anguas-Gracia, Ana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0625-3936 Callén-Galindo, Marta Antón-Solanas, Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8206-4803 Urcola-Pardo, Fernando Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7049-8295 1006 255 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
