    Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 "Severity Measure for Agoraphobia-Child Age 11-17". Method: Study group consisted of 36 patients, who have been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with agoraphobia, and 100 healthy volunteers who have been secondary and highschool students. For the assessment, the Screen for Childhood Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) was used along with the DSM-5 "Severity Measure for Agoraphobia-Child Age 11-17". Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.929. Test-retest correlation coefficient was 0.566. For concurrent validity, the measure showed a high correlation with the SCARED. In ROC analysis, area under ROC curve was calculated as 0.934. Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of the DSM-5 "Severity Measure for Agoraphobia-Child Age 11-17" could be used as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.

    (Yerkure Tanitim ve Yayincilik, 2017) Sapmaz S.Y.; Erkuran H.O.; Ergin D.; Celasin N.S.; Karaarslan D.; Ozturk M.; Koroglu E.; Aydemir O.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of DSM-5 "Severity of Acute Stress Symptoms-Child Age 11-17" Form. Method: The scale was prepared by carrying out the translation and back- translation of DSM-5 "Severity of Acute Stress Symptoms-Child Age 11-17" Form.

For the assessment, Child Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index was also used along with DSM-5 "Severity of Acute Stress Symptoms-Child Age 11-17" Form Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach alpha coefficient for internal consistency was calculated as 0.918 while item- total score correlation coefficients ranged 0.595-0.837. Test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated as r=0.651. Concerning construct validity, one factor that could explain 67.7% of the variance was obtained. With respect to concurrent validity, the scale showed a high correlation with Child Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index. Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of DSM-5 "Severity of Acute Stress Symptoms-Child Age 11-17" Form could be used as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.

    Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Severity Measure for Specific Phobia - Child Form according to DSM-5. Method: The study group consisted of 50 patients treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with any specific phobia and 100 healthy volunteers. For the assessment, the Screen for Childhood Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) was used along with the Severity Measure for Specific Phobia - Child Form according to DSM-5. Results: For reliability, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated to be 0.961. Test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated r=0.750. As for construct validity, one factor that could explain 74.1% of the variance was obtained, which is consistent with the original structure of the scale. As for concurrent validity, the correlation coefficient with the SCARED in children is r=0.480. Conclusion: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Severity Measure for Specific Phobia - Child Form can be utilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes. © 2018 Dusunen Adam.
