Background: Enhancing the standards of care for patients and ensuring safety relies heavily on knowledge and attitude regarding vital signs monitoring among nursing students, making it a vital element of their education. However, there is no valid and reliable Arabic instrument to determine nursing students attitudes toward vital signs monitoring.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the V‐scale used to determine nurses' attitudes towards vital signs monitoring.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, methodological study was carried out among 185 nursing and midwifery students’ using an online questionnaire. The students’ selection was based on convenience sampling method. The psychometric proprieties and internal consistency were assessed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability tests.

Results: Based on the outcomes of the exploratory factor analysis, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.7, and the Bartlett test yielded a χ² value of 470.599 (p < 0.001). The resulting factor structure accounted for 54.81% of the variance. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the fit indices for the tested scale model were as follows: χ²/df = 1.403, RMSEA = 0.047, CFI = 0.903, GFI = 0.924, AGFI = 0.883, and IFI = 0.911. The draft scale’s structure was confirmed to consist of 5 factors and 16 items. The Cronbach alpha coefficients ranged from 0.72 to 0.86 for the sub-dimensions of the scale and were 0.91 for the overall scale.

Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Arabic edition of the V-scale possesses validity and reliability, rendering it a suitable measure for evaluating nursing students’ attitudes regarding the monitoring of vital signs, with suggested adjustments in some items. By providing this scale in Arabic, it is anticipated that Arabic-speaking countries would be motivated to utilize it in healthcare and educational settings.

Implications for Nursing: The results could be valuable for nursing educators, nursing managers, and policymakers in formulating effective measures to enhance attitudes toward vital signs monitoring among nursing and midwifery students. Further studies is necessary to comprehend the elements affecting nursing students' awareness of preoperative nursing care.
