Materials and Methods: Written consent was obtained from children and adolescents who agreed to participate in the study and met the study criteria, as well as from their families. 105 children and adolescents and 66 families who met these criteria were included in the study. Results: In our study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale of the Child Form of the Family Accommodation Scale for Anxiety Disorder was 0.88, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale of the parent form was 0.871. The test-retest reliability between two measurements taken two weeks apart was high for both scales. Conclusion: It can be said that the Child and Parent Form of the Family Adjustment Scale for Anxiety Disorder is a valid and reliable standardized measurement tool for the age group of 8-18.

Çalışmamızın amacı anksiyete bozukluklarının klinik seyrinde ve tedavisi üzerinde önemli bir etken olan aile uyumu kavramını araştırmak ve Anksiyete Bozukluğu için Aile Uyum Ölçeği (Family Accommodation Scale- Anxiety)’nin çocuk ve ebeveyn formlarının Türkçe uyarlamasını yaparak literatüre kazandırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden ve çalışma kriterlerine uygun çocuk ve ergenlerden, ayrıca ailelerinden yazılı onam alınmıştır. Bu kriterleri karşılayan 105 çocuk ve ergen, 66 aile çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda Anksiyete Bozukluğu İçin Aile Uyum Ölçeğinin Çocuk Formunun tüm ölçek için Cronbach alfa katsayısı 0,88, ebeveyn formunun tüm ölçek için Cronbach alfa katsayısı 0,871 saptandı. İki hafta arayla yapılan iki ölçüm arasındaki test-yeniden test güvenilirliği her iki ölçek için korelasyonu yüksek düzeydeydi. Sonuç: Anksiyete Bozukluğu İçin Aile Uyum Ölçeğinin Çocuk ve Ebeveyn Formunun 8-18 yaş arası için geçerli ve güvenilir standardize bir ölçüm aracı olduğu söylenebilir.
