Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Inattention Scale- Parent Form.
Method: The scale was prepared by carrying out the translation and back- translation of DSM-5 Level 2 Inattention Scale- Parent Form. Study group consisted of 36 patients that have been treated in a child psychiatry unit and diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and 53 healthy volunteers that were attending primary school during the study period. For the assessment, Turgay Child and Adolescent Behavior Disorders Screening and Rating Scale based on DSM-IV was used along with DSM-5 Level 2 Inattention Scale- Parent Form.
Results: Regarding reliability analyses, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.931 while item- total score correlation coefficients were measured between 0.555 and 0.869. Test-retest correlation coefficient was calculated as r= 0.765. As for construct validity, a factor that could explain %68.2 of the variance was obtained and was consistent with the original structure of the scale. As for concurrent validity, the scale showed a very high correlation with Turgay Child and Adolescent Behavior Disorders Screening and Rating Scale based on DSM-IV.
Conclusion: It was concluded that Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Inattention Scale- Parent Form can be utilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes.
