The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties including validity, reliability and responsiveness of the Interpersonal Communication Skills Questionnaire (ICQ). ICQ was translated into Turkish as described in international guidelines, and the study enrolled 55 second-year physiotherapy students. Cronbach α was used to assess internal consistency. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to estimate the test–retest reliability. Construct validity was analyzed with Interpersonal Communication Competence Inventory (ICCI) and the visual analog scale (VAS)-anxiety, stress and confidence (0-10, Likert). Turkish version of the ICQ was found to have acceptable to excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficient=0.701–911) and very good test–retest reliability (ICC=0.753–0.772). Construct validity of the ICQ was found to be correlated with empathy skill dimension in the ICCI [communication anxiety (r=0.396, p=0.020), communication confidence (r=-0.446, p= 0.008)]. VAS-anxiety, stress and confidence outcomes were found to be moderately correlated with both subscales of the ICQ (r=-0.490-0.631; p=0.008-<0.001). The current study showed the ICQ to have acceptable validity, reliability and responsivity for physiotherapy students. The ICQ also showed that simulated patient interaction prior to clinical placement resulted in improved communication confidence and decreased anxiety among second-year physiotherapy students.
