%X Aim: The aim of this study was to develop and assess the validity and the Turkish version of reliability of Nine Item European Heart Failure Self-Care Behaviour Scale (EHFScB Scale-9). Material and Method: This methodological study was conducted with 123 heart failure (HF) patients whose mean age was 61.82¡À11.39 years. The language adaptation, validity assessment and Cronbach¡¯s alpha coefficients and the item-total correlation were examined. Results: Factor analysis of the scale found a KMO index of 0.757, a Bartlett¡¯ssphericity of X2=384.870, df=36, and p=0.000. Two factors explain 56.5% of the total variance. Internal consistency reliability of the whole questionnaire was 0.820. All items of factor loadings were above 0.40 and factor loadings of the items ranged from 0.511¨C0.817 in the scales. Item-total correlations were 0.381 and 0.639 for the two dimensions. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the EHFScB-9 scale is a valid, reliable tool, which can be used to measure HF self-care behavior
