The aim of this study is to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-2 (MAIA-2) Scale for dermatology patients. Material and Methods: The MAIA-2 Scale is a 37-item developed originally in English. A total of 390 patients, 244 (62.5%) females and 146 (37.5%) males diagnosed with the various dermatological disease, admitted to the dermatology clinic between May 2021 and October 2021 were included in the study. The MAIA-2 has been translated into Turkish. In addition, we conducted exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to analyze the MAIA-2. For reliability analyses, internal structure consistency and test-retest reliability were measured. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated as an estimation of internal consistency. For test-retest reliability, the scale was administered to 30 patients twice, at the beginning and 2 weeks later. Test-retest reliability was statistically evaluated with the Pearson correlation test. Results: The mean age of the patients was found to be 33.50±15.04 (18-60) years in the study. The internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) was found to be 0.944. The correlation coefficient was calculated as r=0.884 in the test-retest reliability. The total MAIA-2 score was 105.34±30.05 (mean±standard deviation). Conclusion:The Turkish version of the MAIA-2 Scale was valid and reliable for Turkish dermatology patients.
