The original IMMS consisted of 36 questions and four dimensions (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction). The Cronbach's α of the overall questionnaire is 0.96 and the Cronbach's α for each of the sub-dimensions ranges between 0.81 and 0.92. A Turkish version of IMMS was constructed from 24-items.

  3 weeks

• Academic Success Assessment (Quiz)

  It is a 16 multiple-choice exam created by the researcher to measure the success of the students in the Nursing Process course. This exam lasted 18 minutes. Each question is worth 6.25 points.
