Özet

Purpose: Pain is a complex, multidimensional and subjective phenomenon that is common in patients with cancer. The translation of existing pain measurement scales is considered important in producing internationally comparable measures for evidence based practice. In measuring the pain experience, the WHYMPI is a widely used instrument to measure assessment of clinical pain, and it has not been validated in Turkey. The present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the West Haven Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory (WHYMPI).
