Backgraund: Eating behavior is a complex biopsychosocial behavior involving eating and eating time. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of Turkish Children's Eating Behavior Inventory which was evaluated by families with disabled children. Methods: Translation and back-translation were used for the adaptation of the scale. Content validity index was employed for content validity, while exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for construct validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total correlation coefficient were used to test the reliability of the scale. Test-retest reliability of the scale was 72, internal consistency and construct validity were determined by data collected from 190 parents with disabled children living with their spouses with at least 2 children. Results: The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was .77 and the scale was generally accepted as reliable. According to factor analysis; The scale was gathered under 5 factors and the explanatory coefficient was 65.05%. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy measurement value .71 is used to evaluate the suitability of the data for factor analysis. The Bartlet Sphericity Test was x2 / df = 1370.545 / 171, p

Background: The rate of violence against children is high in our country as in the whole world. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the sensitivity to violence against children and their sense of responsibility and behavior in university students studying on health sciences. Methods: The sample of this study consisted of 657 students (454 females and 203 males) studying on health sciences. “Sensitivity to Violence Against Children Scale” and “Sense of Responsibility and Behavior Scale” were used for the data collection. One-way ANOVA, Mann Whitney U-Tests and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. Results: 27% of the students were studying medicine, 15.7% were dentistry, 42.5% were nursing, 53.4% were in first grade and 46.6% were in fourth grade, 36.1% were under 20 and 32.1% were is in the 23-25 age range. It was determined that female students' sensitivity to violence towards children, sense of responsibility and behavior were significantly higher than boys. It was determined that the sensitivity to violence against children was not affected by age and grade, and the sense of responsibility and behavior were higher in the fourth grade than in the first grade and the girls were higher than the boys. As the participants' sense of responsibility and behaviors increased, their sensitivity to violence against children increased. Conclusion: It can be said that women are more sensitive to violence against children and individuals with low sense of responsibility and behavior are insensitive to violence
