Abstract Currently there is no dedicated instrument for measuring nursing students’ beliefs and attitudes about learning clinical skills in the service-learning (SL) environment. The National League for Nursing Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS) was adapted as an SL assessment and administered to students in their final semester of a prelicensure baccalaureate program. Findings from this psychometric evaluation indicate that the SCLS is a reliable instrument for measuring student self-confidence in learning. Establishment of this tool provides evidence to ensure that judgments made about SL educational practices in clinical nursing courses are beneficial and credible.
