    Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in children and it causes many problems such as motor, sensory and cognitive impairment, and it leads to effect child's quality of life. There are many of questionnaire for evaluating quality of life but which is reliable, valid and sensitive to age groups children with CP in Turkish. Our study aims to investigate whether the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form (CHQ PF-50) scales are reliable, valid, and sensitive in children with Cerebral Palsy among different age groups and impairment levels. Methods: 105 children with CP, 48 healthy children and their mothers were participated in this study. They were divided into three groups according to their age; as 2-7 years, 8-12 years and 13-18 years. Statistical power analysis was conducted to acquire statistical power at a medium level (80%). Results: The internal consistency of scales was acceptable and their test-retest reliability was significant (for PODCI, alpha=0.93 and ICC=0.992, for PedsQL alpha=0.85 and ICC=0.955, for CHQ PF-50 alpha=0.92 and ICC=0.975). The findings of their validity indicated that they were significantly sensitive in discriminating healthy children and children with CP (p<0.001). However, the scales could only distinguish age and GMFCS groups in physical functioning domain (p<0.05). Conclusions: Within the concept of our study, the PODCI, PedsQL, and CHQ PF-50 scales were found reliable, valid, and sensitive in children with CP between ages 2-18. The sections regarding the physical functioning domains of these three scales presented sensitive results in accordance with the age and GMFCS levels of the children with CP.

    (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2020) Karayagiz, Saban; Aktan, Timucin
    Paranormal beliefs are of interest for the college students especially studying psychology and philosophy. In addition, attitudes such as parental bonding and adult attachment affect levels of paranormal beliefs. Exploring the relationships among these principal themes is of great importance in illuminating possible effects of students’ attachments and bonding toward the development of paranormal beliefs. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship among students’ parental attachment, relationship attitude, and paranormal beliefs; 239 university students responded to the items in three separate questionnaires, the Paranormal Belief Scale, parental bonding, and adult attachment survey. The research findings showed that a significant relationship exists between paranormal beliefs and attachment attitudes in the favor of females. In terms of the relationship between paranormal beliefs and adult attachment, the results also revealed that they have akin relationships between adult attachment and parental bonding. Although adult relationships affect paranormal beliefs, no significant correlation was found among three areas possible because the effect of parental bonding is limited in the long term. © The Author(s) 2019.

    Objective The purpose of this study was to translate the Pediatric assessment scale for severe feeding Problems (PASSFP) into Turkish and investigate its validity and reliability. Methods The study included Turkish translation of the PASSFP, and investigating its reliability and criterion validity in relation with Children's eating behavior questionnaire (CEBQ). Results Cronbach Alpha reliability of T-PASSFP was 0.79, and of its subscales, i.e. Form A and B, were 0.67, and 0.73, respectively. Test-retest correlation was 0.99 for the scale and Form A, and 0.94 for Form B. There were positive correlations between total scale and Enjoyment of food and Food fussiness subscales of CEBQ. Form A had positive relationships with Food responsiveness, Enjoyment of food, and Food fussiness subscales. Form B had positive correlations with Enjoyment of food and negative correlations with Slowness in eating subscales. Conclusion The Turkish PASSFP is valid and reliable in evaluating feeding in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Form A is applied for all children, and Form B is used for partially or totally oral-fed children
