Abstract :Objective: The objective of this study was twofold: firstly, to adapt the Information Needs Scale for Percutaneous Coronary Artery Intervention into Turkish, and secondly, to test the validity and reliability of the scale. Materials and Methods: A methodological study was conducted with 200 patients who submitted application forms to the angiography unit of a university hospital and who subsequently consented to participate in the study. The study period ran from 1 August 2021 to 28 February 2022. The data collected for the study were collected face-to-face using two instruments. These were the \\\"Patient Questionnaire Form\\\" and the Turkish form of the \\\"Information Needs Scale in Percutaneous Coronary Artery Intervention\\\" scale. Results: In order to ascertain the internal consistency structure of the Turkish form of the scale, the item-total score correlation was examined. It was found that the Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scales was 0.98 for the importance level of the need to be informed and 0.98 for the degree of fulfilment. The item-total score correlation values of the scale ranged from 0.75 to 0.92 for the importance level and from 0.78 to 0.95 for the degree of fulfilment. According to the Guttman Split-Half Coefficient, the correlation value between the two half-item means was found to be 0.930, and the Guttman Split-Half Coefficient was found to be 0.957. Conclusions: It was ascertained that the Turkish iteration of the Percutaneous Coronary Artery Intervention Information Needs Scale (NCPI-10-TR) possesses adequate validity and reliability indicators in determining information needs in percutaneous coronary intervention, as determined by the degree of importance attributed to information requirements and the degree to which these requirements are met in coronary artery patients.
