Standardized scales are increasingly recommended to measure response when treating psychiatric disorders in routine clinical practice. The Clinically Useful Anxiety Outcome Scale (CUXOS) is a short self-report scale to evaluate the severity of anxiety quickly and optimally. In this study, validity and reliability of the CUXOS was investigated in a Turkish population. 155 patients with anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and 132 participants with no history of psychiatric diagnosis were included in the study. As the assessment tools, the Turkish version of CUXOS, the State- Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Clinically Useful Depression Outcome Scale, the Clinical Global Impression Scale – Severity subscale were used. With FACTOR 10.8.04 software, explained variance, eigenvalues, loading factors and common factor variances were calculated. For the internal consistency, Cronbach α values, corrected item-total correlations and Cronbach α values of the extracted factors and the whole scale were calculated. MedCalc 17.2 software was used for these analyses. Cronbach α values were found to be 0.957 for CUXOS, 0.936 for CUXOS-Somatic subscale and 0.934 for CUXOS-Psychic subscale. No significant change in internal consistency was observed in the entire scale with the removal of the item. Adjusted item - total correlations values ranged from 0.466 to 0.792. Convergent and discriminant validity of the scale were demonstrated. Turkish version of CUXOS is a valid and reliable scale that measures the severity of anxiety and suitable for clinical use in Turkish population.
