Background/Aim: This research was performed to assess the validity and reliability of the “PedsQL-Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory” for use in children and parents in Turkey. Methods: The study was designed as methodological-descriptive. The sample group of the study was composed of 300 children and mothers. The data were obtained by using the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and “Parent and Child Forms of the PedsQL-Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory (PedsQL-PPCI).” Results: Cronbach's alpha values for the child and parent forms were 0.82 and 0.89, respectively. The indices of Model Fit for child reports were determined to be RMSA = 0.070, GFI = 0.88 and CFI = 0.91. In the construct validity testing, the KMO value was 0.83 and Bartlett’s sphericity test resulted in 4244.75 (p < .001) and R2 = 71.97%. The indices of Model Fit for parent reports were determined to be RMSA = 0.08, GFI = 0.86 and CFI = 0.94. In the construct validity testing, the KMO value was 0.83 and Bartlett’s sphericity test resulted in 4973.95 (p < .001) and R2 = 66.86%. Conclusions: Our results showed that the scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used as a pediatric pain coping inventory for Turkish parents and children. The PedsQL-PPCI is a convenient tool for professionals in managing and preventing pediatric pain.
