Background/aim: The modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) is widely used to measure children?s anxiety level. The aim of this study was to translate the Turkish version of the m-YPAS and test its validity and reliability based on Turkish children. Materials and methods: The English version of the m-YPAS was translated into Turkish using the forward-back-forward translation technique. This study enrolled 120 children. The m-YPAS was performed on 120 children who were recorded on video. The State- Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) was used for only 30 of 120 children. The videotapes were evaluated by two experienced observers [an anesthesiologist, ObA(an) and psychologist, ObB(ps)]. The interrater reliability, concurrent validity, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were analyzed. Results: The mean age of children was 7.8 ± 2.2 years in the study. The weighted kappa values of the m-YPAS between observers were in `substantial? agreement (?w = 0.74-0.80) and `almost perfect? agreement (?w = 0.84 - 0.85). Also, Cronbach?s alpha values were high [? = 0.85 for ObA(an) and ? = 0.86 for ObB(ps)]. The correlation between m-YPAS and STAIC showed `good? agreement (P < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity were high, and the predictive value was 92.86%. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the m-YPAS can be performed as a reliable and valid observational questionnaire for Turkish children. Key words: Anxiety, Validation studies, Pediatrics.

Abstract This study was conducted to adapt the Burn-Specific Pain Anxiety Scale (BSPAS) into Turkish, and to test its validity and reliability. The study was conducted between April 2016 and July 2017 in a university and a training/research hospital using the methodological research model. The population of the study consisted of patients hospitalized in burn units during the above-mentioned dates. The study was conducted with a total of 50 burn patients, who met the inclusion criteria, and who volunteered to participate in the study. Validity and reliability analyses were performed using language, content and construct validities, and a reliability analysis. The language validity of the BSPAS was tested using back translation method, and the content validity was tested using expert opinions. The results of exploratory factor analysis (0.727–0.910) demonstrated a single factor structure, and the factor loads were adequate. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the fit indexes were appropriate. To measure internal consistency of the scale, item total correlation was used, and the correlations were found to be adequate (0.59–0.96). The Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.95. It was determined that the Turkish version of the BSPAS is a valid and a reliable assessment tool.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Abeer Children Dental Anxiety Scale (ACDAS) as a tool used for the identification and treatment of anxious children. Methods: The study sample included 122 children aged ≥7 years, and the intervention consisted of implementation of the ACDAS and the Children’s Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) by the lead researcher during the first dental visit for each child. ACDAS application was also repeated by another pediatric dentist in a smaller sub-sample of 20 children during the same visit. The lead researcher repeated the process, (i.e. application of ACDAS) in the whole study sample after two weeks. Results: The mean age of the participants was 9.84 ± 1.696 years (range: 7–12 years), and anxiety (ACDAS ≥ 26) was detected in 36.1% of the children. The Turkish version of the ACDAS exhibited high correlation with the CFSS-DS (r = 0.760; p < 0.001), and the Cronbach Alpha value (α = 0.934) showed good internal consistency. No statistically significant differences were observed in the dentist’s responses to questions in the Dental and Cognitive sections when comparing the first and second applications of the scale (p > 0.05), although significant differences were observed in the Child Evaluation section (p < 0.01). The Area Under the Curve (AUC), obtained by Receiver Operative Characteristic Curve (ROC) Analysis was 0.849 indicating good diagnostic performance. Conclusions: Based on these findings, the Turkish version of the ACDAS can be considered as a valid and reliable dental anxiety scale for the identification of children concerned about dental procedures.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Diabetic Foot Scale–Short Form (DFS-SF). The study was cross-sectional and conducted between January and October 2019 in a diabetic foot council of a university hospital. A total of 194 diabetic foot patients participated in the study. A Patient Identification Form and DFS-SF were used for data collection. Forward and backward translations were used in language validity. Expert opinions were obtained to determine the Content Validity Index. To determine construct validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used. Cronbach’s α internal consistency coefficient, item-scale correlation, and test-retest reliability were used to evaluate reliability. It was found that Content Validity Index was 0.97 (0.86-1.00), the factor loading of scale varied from 0.378 to 0.982, Cronbach’s α value varied from 0.81 to 0.94, and item-total correlations were between 0.30 and 0.75. The Turkish version of the DFS-SF was found valid and reliable to measure the quality of life of diabetic foot patients.
