In this context, evaluation of adaptation of the Turkish version of BackPEI which was developed in Portugal is intended in this study.Methods: This study was planned as a methodological one. The sample of the study consisted of 139 students. For validity in the scale, adaptation was carried out with language, scope, structure and criterion validity; for reliability in the scale, adaptation was carried out with? stability analysis according to time. Ethics Committee Confirmation and corporate permission has been received.Results: The Content Validity Index obtained with expert opinions after translating the tool to Turkish and it was found to be as high as 90.8. Criterion validity "Visual Analogue Scale VAS ” was used. Spearman’s correlation coefficient between BackPEI and VAS score was r=-.684 p=.000 . To test its reproducibility, the final version of the BackPEI was applied to 91 schoolchildren on two distinct occasions test and re-test , separated by a 2-week interval. According to the kappa coefficient for questions 1–20 in the questionnaire, 3 were classified as "moderately fit”, 15 as ‘‘good’’and 3?? as "very good”.
