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.

Content Validity Index

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.
