ObjectiveThe aims of this study were to develop the Korean Compassionate Communication Scale and to test its validity and reliability.MethodsThe Korean Compassionate Communication Scale was developed based on English version. This study is a methodological one in its approach.ResultsThe Korean version of Compassionate Communication Scale contained 20 items and was divided into three factors that explained 63.4% of the total variance. This scale demonstrated excellent convergent and discriminant validity (100%), and criterion-related validity (Global Interpersonal Communication Competence r = 0.494; self-compassion: r = 0.317). Internal consistency was acceptable, and Cronbach’s α of the total items was 0.85.ConclusionsThis study examined The Korean Compassionate Communication Scale as an appropriate measurement of communication ability for nursing practice. Therefore, this scale suggests that the developed 20 items of the Compassionate Communication Scale can be used for therapeutic relationship and nursing education.
