Validity and reliability of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale Turkish Version (Child Form for 11-17 Years and Parent Form for 6-17 Years)

Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale's child and parent forms. Methods: The scale was prepared by carrying out the translation and back translation of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale's Child and Parent Forms. Study group consisted of community and clinical samples. The scale was applied to 244 parents and 320 adolescents that represented the clinical and community sample. For the assessment, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used along with Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale. For reliability analyses, internal consistency coefficient and item-total score correlation analysis, test-retest factor analysis, interrater reliability and as for validity analyses; exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for concurrent validity were carried out. Results: Cronbach's alpha values for DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale's Child Form was 0.893 while 0.90 for parent form. Correlation coefficient of DSM 5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale as a result of its correlation with Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was 0.698 for child form and 0.706 for parent form which was statistically significant. Correlation coefficient in test-retest application was r=0.965 for child form and r=0.919 for parent form. As for construct validity, six factors were maintained that would explain 59.3% of the variance in child form. In the parent form, five factors were maintained that would explain 60.3% of the total variance. Conclusion: It was seen that Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Scale 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 Separation Anxiety Disorder Severity Scale–child form

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
