Abstract The Toileting Habit Profile Questionnaire – Revised (THPQ-R) assesses sensory integration differences in children experiencing toileting and defecation participation issues. Sensory integration disorders (SIDs) are frequent in children with functional defecation disorders (FDDs) and may affect participation in toileting routines, a key feature of conventional medical management. Understanding a child's SIDs and their impact on participation in toileting routines can contribute to more effective interventions. To develop a translated and culturally adapted Turkish version of the THPQ-R for use in clinical practice and research. The process of translating the THPQ-R and adapting the questionnaire for use in Turkey was performed following accepted guidelines. The analysis was performed using data gathered from the Turkish THPQ-R (TR-THPQ-R) to explore its reliability and validity. The TR-THPQ-R was found to be highly reliable, with a Cronbach alpha value of 0.833. The test–retest analysis determined that the scale measured reliably over a short period of time (p < 0.05) and discriminated adequately between children with and without FDDs (p < 0.05). The hyperreactivity items of the TR-THPQ-R correlated with the hyperreactivity items of the Sensory Processing Measure, supporting convergent validity. Turkish clinicians and researchers have a tool to assess sensory hyperreactivity concerns in children with defecation disorders. This study paves the way for new research that focuses on the relationship between toileting participation, FDDs, and SIDs in this population.
