Introduction. Many people believe that there is something predetermined in their life. Fatalism affects people’s adaptation to their diseases in epilepsy as well as in every disease. Aim. The study was conducted methodologically to determine the fatalism towards epilepsy disease. Material and Methods. “Information Form” and “Epilepsy Fatalism Scale” were used as data collection tools. With the literature review, a pool was created from the items of the previously developed fatalism scales. After removing the items with low factor load as a result of confirmatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis was performed again. The data of the research were collected through social media. Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett test, Principal Component Analysis, and Varimax Rotation were used for exploratory factor analysis in the evaluation of the data. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was performed within the scope of explanatory and structural equation modeling χ², χ²/SD, RMSEA, CFI, IFI compatibility tests were used for Confirmatory Factor analysis. Results. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the entire scale was found to be 0.768. It was determined with the results of the fit index analysis χ²/SD: 3.736, GFI, 0.922, AGFI 0.909, CFI 0.904, TLI 0.914, RMSEA: 0.062, RMR: 0.041 that the validity of the scale was ensured. Conclusions. The scale consisted of 10 items and three dimensions. The scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool in evaluating epilepsy fatalism. (JNNN 2023;12(2):63–68)
