In this research, the Turkish validity and reliability study of the "Child Health Internet Research Parent Scale (CSSAI)" was conducted and it was aimed to gain the scale to the Turkish society. The data of this research, which was carried out in methodological design, were collected by reaching the parents via the online data collection platform in June-August 2021. To the study, 355 parents who met the study criteria were included. The language validity analysis of the scale was performed with the translation-retranslation method, and the content validity was performed with expert opinions. The Content Validity Index (CGI) was found to be 0.960. It was determined that the scale formed as the result of the translations showed parallelism with the original scale. The scale was applied to the sample group after the pilot application was done. As the result of the internal consistency analysis of the scale, it was found that the item-total score correlations in the scale were sufficient and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.916. Our research result showed that the "Child Health Internet Research Parent Scale (CSSAI)" is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating parents' internet use in health research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
