Popis: Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Family Nutrition and PhysicalActivity (FNPA-TR) screening tool. This study was conducted as a methodological research. The data were collected between Mayand June 2018. The population of the study consisted of 1126 first and fourth grade students and their families in three primary publicschools that represent three socioeconomic statuses (high, medium, low) in Istanbul, Turkey.Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 727 students and their families with an introductory information form and theFNPA-TR screening tool. The validity of content scale was evaluated by comparing the relationship between FNPA-TR scores andanswers given to non-scale questions measuring the eating behaviour. In this study, Cronbach’s alpha, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin, Varimaxrotation and ICC coefficients statistical tests were used to measure validity and reliability.Results: The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the internal consistency of the scale was 0.724. The test-retest reliability coefficient of thescale had a medium to very high level that ranged from 0.422 to 0.925. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test result was found to be appropriateas 0.771.Conclusion: The study shows that the FNPA-TR scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish population.
