    Objective: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Panic Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form. Method: Study group consisted of 34 patients that have been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with panic disorder and 100 healthy volunteers that were attending middle or high school during the study period. For assessment, Screen for Childhood Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) and DSM-5 Panic Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form were used. Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.912 while item-total score correlation coefficients were measured between 0.520 and 0.810. Test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated as r=0.562. As for construct validity, one factor that explained 56.9% of the variance was obtained. As for concurrent validity, the scale showed a high correlation (r=0.702 p<0.0001) with panic disorder subscale of screen for child anxiety and related emotional disorders (SCARED). In ROC analysis, area under ROC curve was calculated as 0.947. Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of the DSM-5 Panic Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form could be utilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.

    Sapmaz, SY; Ergin, D; Sen Celasin, N; Karaarslan, D; Öztürk, M; Erkuran, HÖ; Köroglu, E; Aydemir, Ö
    Introduction: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Diagnostic and statistical manual of Mental Disorders. (5th ed.) (DSM-5) Social Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form. Method: The scale was prepared by carrying out the translation and back translation of the DSM-5 Social Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form. The study group consisted of 31 patients that had been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and 99 healthy volunteers that were attending middle or high school during the study period. For the assessment, the Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) was also used along with the DSM-5 Social Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale Child Form Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.941, while item-total score correlation coefficients were measured between 0.566 and 0.866. A test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated as r=0.711. As for construct validity, one factor that could explain 66.0 % of the variance was obtained. As for concurrent validity, the scale showed a high correlation with the SCARED. Conclusion: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Social Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale - Child Form could be utilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.

    Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Separation Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-child form
    Sapmaz, SY; Erkuran, HÖ; Öztürk, M; Ergin, D; Sen Celasin, N; Karaarslan, D; Köroglu, E; Aydemir, Ö
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Separation Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form. METHODS: The scale was prepared by carrying out translation and back-translation of the DSM-5 Separation Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form. The study group consisted of 41 patients who had been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with separation anxiety disorder and 100 healthy volunteers who were attending middle or high school during the study period. For the assessment, Screen for Childhood Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) was also used, along with the DSM-5 Separation Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form. RESULTS: The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.932, while the item-total score correlation coefficients were between 0.400 and 0.874. One factor that could explain 63% of the variance was obtained. The scale showed a medium correlation with SCARED. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was calculated as 0.898. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the Turkish version of DSM-5 Separation Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale-Child Form could be used as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.

    Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Dissociative Symptoms Severity Scale-Child Form
    Sapmaz, SY; Ergin, D; Sen Celasin, N; Erkuran, HÖ; Karaarslan, D; Öztekin, S; Tanriverdi, BU; Köroglu, E; Aydemir, Ö
    The goal of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) Dissociative Symptoms Severity Scale-Child Form. The scale was prepared by translating and then back-translating the DSM-5 Dissociative Symptoms Severity Scale. The study groups included one group of 30 patients diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder who were treated in a child and adolescent psychiatry unit and another group of 83 healthy volunteers from middle and high schools in the community. For assessment, the Adolescent Dissociative Experiences Scale (ADES) was used in addition to the DSM-5 Dissociative Symptoms Severity Scale. Regarding the reliability of the DSM-5 Dissociative Symptoms Severity Scale, Cronbach's alpha was .824 and item-total score correlation coefficients were between .464 and .648. The test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated to be r=.784. In terms of construct validity, one factor accounted for 45.2% of the variance. Furthermore, in terms of concurrent validity, the scale showed a high correlation with the ADES. In conclusion, the Turkish version of the DSM-5 Dissociative Symptoms Severity Scale-Child Form is a valid and reliable tool for both clinical practice and research.
