The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of Separation Anxiety Symptoms Inventory (SASI) that assess childhood separation anxiety retrospectively and Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA).
The study sample included a group of 410 participants comprised of 282 adult psychiatric outpatients with anxiety and/or major depressive disorders according to DSM-IV criteria and 128 nonpsychiatric control subjects. The presence of psychiatric disorders was determined by using the M.I.N.I. (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview). Structured Clinical Interview for Separation Anxiety Symptoms (SCI-SAS), Separation Anxiety Symptoms Inventory (SASI), Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire (ASA), Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS), "Sensitivity to Separations" subscale of Panic Agorapfobic Spectrum Scale (PAS-SR), Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) were also given.
The validity assessments of the instruments revealed that SASI and ASA discriminated the psychiatric patients from control subjects. Both instruments displayed high correlation with SCI-SAS and PAS-SR, a moderate correlation with ASI and PDSS. Factor structure assessments revealed the existence of 3 factor for SASI and 5 factor for ASA. Both SASI and ASA has a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach alfa coefficients are 0.89 and 0.93 respectively) and their test-retest reliability is fairly good.
Turkish versions of SASI and ASA were found to be valid and reliable. Results indicate that those instruments can be used in clinical studies for surveying adult separation anxiety disorder and determining its severity.
本研究旨在评估用于回顾性评估儿童分离焦虑的分离焦虑症状量表（SASI）和成人分离焦虑问卷（ASA）的有效性和可靠性。
研究样本包括410名参与者，其中282名是根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版标准诊断为患有焦虑症和/或重度抑郁症的成年精神科门诊患者，以及128名非精神科对照受试者。使用简明国际神经精神访谈（M.I.N.I.）确定精神疾病的存在。还进行了分离焦虑症状结构化临床访谈（SCI-SAS）、分离焦虑症状量表（SASI）、成人分离焦虑问卷（ASA）、惊恐障碍严重程度量表（PDSS）、惊恐广场恐怖谱量表（PAS-SR）的“对分离的敏感性”子量表以及焦虑敏感性指数（ASI）的测评。
对这些工具的有效性评估表明，SASI和ASA能够区分精神科患者和对照受试者。这两种工具与SCI-SAS和PAS-SR均显示出高度相关性，与ASI和PDSS显示出中度相关性。因子结构评估显示SASI存在3个因子，ASA存在5个因子。SASI和ASA均具有较高的内部一致性（Cronbach阿尔法系数分别为0.89和0.93），且它们的重测信度相当好。
发现SASI和ASA的土耳其语版本有效且可靠。结果表明，这些工具可用于临床研究，以调查成人分离焦虑症并确定其严重程度。
