Statement of the Problem: The study aims to determine the validity and
reliability of the Turkish version of Children’s Emotional Manifestation Scale
developed to measure children's emotional responses during stressful medical
processes.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: The sample of this methodological
type study consisted of 62 children aged between 7-12 years who admitted to
the hospital for day surgery. In the validity study, language and content validity
were tested first. Inter-rater reliability of the scale was tested by internal
consistency method. The evaluation was conducted through intragroup
correlation coefficients and the Cronbach alfa reliability coefficient. Kappa
coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficients of the scale were calculated
to determine inter-rater consistency. Besides, intra-class correlation coefficient
was calculated to determine intra-rater reliability. Structure Validation;
correlations between scores of Children’s Emotional Manifestation Scale and
scores of arterial blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and State Anxiety
Inventory for Children were calculated using Sperman Correlation Coefficient.
Findings: The content validity index of the scale is 0.96. The scale is
statistically significant. Internal consistency was found to be between
0.93 and 0.95 by Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient. The results show
that interrater reliability is sufficient. According to kappa analysis, there is
consistency between the raters. There is a moderately significant positive
relationship between Children’s Emotional Manifestation Scale and State
Anxiety Inventory for Children (r=0.26, p=0.05). Also, a moderately significant
positive relationship was found between Children’s Emotional Manifestation
Scale and pulse (r=0.41, p=0.01).
Conclusion & Significance: Turkish version of Children’s Emotional Manifesta-
tion Scale is valid and reliable to measure the emotional response of children
before stressful medical procedures or during preoperative period. Children’s
Emotional Manifestation Scale, with Turkish version, is intended to be a simple
and objective tool to evaluate the efficiency of the intervention studies aimed
at decreasing negative emotional behaviours and anxiety.
