2.3.3. Children Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive
Scale-(C-Y-BOCS):
It is a semi-structured scale developed in 1997 by Scahill L et al. with
the scale; obsession and compulsion types are evaluated. After this
evaluation, the severity of obsessions and compulsions is measured.
There are 19 questions in scale and 5 items
(none-mild-moderate-severe-extreme) in each question. In measuring the
severity, the first 10 questions of the scale are scored and 0-7 points
are subclinical, 8-15 points are mild, 16-23 points are moderate, 24-31
points are severe and 32-40 points are extreme. The validity and
reliability study of the Turkish version was performed by Yücelen et al.
in 2006 [14].
