Özet
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish Obsessive Compulsive Eating Scale in young adults. Materials and Method: The sample of the study consisted of 265 undergraduate students (170 female, 95 male) with an age between 18-30 years studying at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. The research data were collected with a questionnaire consisting of 5 sections. The questionnaire included questions assessing the socio-demographic data and eating habits of university students, obsessive-compulsive eating behavior scale, yale food addiction scale and Eating Attitude Test-26. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20.83 ± 1.96 years and the scale was found to have a 3-factor structure. The first factor was defined as Thought Suppression and Control; the second factor as Effort and Performance; and the third factor as Imagination. Items 4 and 6 of the scale were removed.. The ?^2/sd value of the scale was 2.258, NFI value was 0.919, CFI value was 0.953, AGFI value was 0.903 and RMSEA value was 0.069 (0.052-0.086) at 90% confidence interval. The ICC value was found to be 0.87. The cronbach-? coefficient for the total OCES scale was 0.886. Statistically significant correlations were found between total OCES and symptom count and EAT-26 scores (r=0.206 and r=0.197, respectively) Conclusion: Obsessive-compulsive eating scale is a valid and reliable scale in university students. In order to better understand the relationship between obsessive-compulsive eating behavior and eating habits, studies should be conducted in different age groups in the community.
