Methods: The scale was prepared by carrying out the translation and back-translation of DSM-5 Depression Severity Scale-Child Form. Study group consisted of 46 patients that have been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with depressive disorder and 135 healthy volunteers that were attending middle or high school during the study period. For the assessment, Child Depression Inventory (CDI) was used along with DSM-5 Depression Severity Scale-Child Form. Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.911 while item-total score correlation coefficients were measured between 0.579 and 0.801. As for construct validity, a factor that could explain 59.2% of the variance was obtained and was consistent with the original structure of the scale. In the concurrent validity analysis, the scale showed a high correlation with Child Depression Inventory with a correlation coefficient value measured as r=0.847. Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of DSM-5 Depression Severity Scale-Child Form could b

Bulgular: Güvenilirlik analizlerinde Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı 0.910, madde-toplam puan bağıntı katsayıları 0.674-0.878 arasında saptanmıştır. Test-yeniden test bağıntı katsayısı r=0.928 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yapı geçerliliğinde varyansın %73.5'ini açıklayan bir faktör elde edilmiştir. ROC çözümlemesinde ROC eğrisinin altında kalan alan 0.956 olarak saptanmıştır. Sonuç: DSM-5 Düzey 2 Yineleyici Düşünceler ve Davranışlar Ölçeği Çocuk Formunun Türk toplumunda hem klinik uygulamalar, hem dearaştırmalarda güvenilir ve geçerli biçimde kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir.Objective: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Repetitive Thoughts and Behaviors Scale-Child Form.

Do We Learn to Internalize Stigma from Our Parents? Comparison of Internalized Stigmatization in Adolescents Diagnosed with ADHD and Their Parents

This study compared internalized stigmatization levels of adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with those of their parents. The study’s data were collected from 107 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and their parents between July 2020 and March 2021. The adolescents were followed up in the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital in western Turkey. The information forms for adolescents and parents, the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale—Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF) and the Parental Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (PISMI), were used to collect the data. There was no statistically significant difference between the total scores of internalized stigma and subscale mean scores of the adolescents and their parents (p > 0.05); only the subscale scores for stereotype endorsement were found to be significantly different (p < 0.05). PISMI scores affected ISMI-AF scores, which can be interpreted as parents’ perspectives and attitudes toward stigmatization affecting adolescents. For ADHD, whose frequency is increasing daily, intervention studies should be conducted to reduce adolescents’ and parents’ internalized stigma and to enhance the educational outcomes of adolescents
