Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of Turkish version of the Physiotherapist Self-Efficacy (PSE) Questionnaire while ensuring cultural adaptation. Methods: In this study, translation, back translation, and cultural adaptation processes were completed. One hundred twenty-two intern or graduated physiotherapists participated. Results: The neurological and cardiopulmonary scales demonstrate a high level of reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.81, 0.87 respectively). The orthopedic subscale is also found to be reliable (Cronbach's α = 0.76). The Turkish version of the PSE questionnaire exhibits excellent internal consistency for neurological, orthopedic, and cardiopulmonary subscales (with Cronbach's α values of 0.98, 0.98, and 0.99 respectively). Conclusion: Turkish PSE Questionnaire is both a valid and reliable scale. It can be used to assess the professional self-efficacy levels of both intern and graduated physiotherapists.
