Objectives: Cancer increases the incidence of constipation. The best way to prevent constipation is to detect it before it develops. Therefore, it is very important to use valid and reliable scales that assess the risk of constipation in order to prevent its occurrence in cancer patients. This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Constipation Risk Assessment Scale (CRAS) when applied to the Turkish population with cancer.
