FIN-PED II was translated into Turkish and then back-translated and then evaluated by three experts for face validity. For construct validity, exploratory factor analysis was applied andfor reliability, internal consistency analysis was employed.RESULTSAs a result of exploratory factor analysis, it was observed that percentages of explaining total variancewere 74.787%, 68.649%, and 72.746% for sections of the importance of care needs, the need fulfilment,and the need for further information, respectively. As a result of Cronbach’s Alpha reliability analysis,the reliabilities of the sections on the importance of care needs, need fulfilment, and the need for furtherinformation for FIN-PED II was 0.814, 0.906, and 0.915.CONCLUSIONAlthough the Turkish version of FIN-PED II needs further psychometric testing, it is an effective, validand reliable tool to find out the care needs of parents of children with cancer.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOnkolojiArticleQ4344231235WOS:000500705100003335304
