The validity analysis results showed Turkish version of HDFQ was content valid. The results of CFA showed the index results were very good fit. All items of the scale and the HDFQ were fit to the Rasch model and the items did not contain any differential item function. Person Separation Index showed HDFQ is reliable tool.
