The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV), which was developed to assess OCD symptoms in children and adolescents, was recently revised (OCI-CV-R) after hoarding was removed as an OCD symptom dimension in the DSM-5. The study aimed to examine the validity of the OCI-CV-R for assessing OCD symptoms in Turkish culture. A total of 1,062 youths, aged 9 to 18 years, participated in this study to assess the OCI-CV-R's psychometric properties in the Turkish culture. Analysis included factor analyses and assessments of validity and reliability. Results demonstrated that the Turkish version of the OCI-CV-R had good model fit values for the five-factor structure of the scale. The revised scale also revealed measurement invariance between two age groups: children (ages 9-11) and adolescents (ages 12-18). The findings indicate that the OCI-CV-R is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing OCD symptoms among Turkish-speaking populations and thus can replace the previous version.

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of Translation and Interpretation, Ondokuz Mayıs University, Samsun, Turkey.

Background: This study addresses a gap in the literature by examining how health literacy mediates the relationship between trust in public health authorities and distrust in health systems, particularly in the Turkish context. While previous studies have examined trust and health literacy separately, few have examined trust in health systems regarding health literacy and trust in public health authorities. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to determine the mediating role of health literacy in the relationship between trust in public health authorities and distrust in the health system.

Background: While some children are open to trying new foods, many exhibit dislike or refusal when encountering them for the first time. These behaviors can be broadly characterized as food neophobia and pickiness, which are believed to be the primary forms of food rejection among children. Because there are differences between countries in early feeding practices and culinary traditions, culturally adapted scales are needed to measure these behaviors.
