“…The results show excellent and supportive reliability with high internal consistency (>.90) for the overall score of the OCI-CV in the youth community sample in Malaysia. These results were consistent with previous studies that reported estimates internal consistency that were greater than > 0.80 for the total score and > 0.75 for all of the six dimensions ( 15 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 25 ). Consequently, this indicates that the applications of the OCI-CV across culture and society provide good psychometric properties even if the factors in the Malaysian context are different from the original version.…”

“…The overall test-retest reliability coefficient was .77, with subscales ranging from .68 to .85. This result of good psychometric of OCI-CV was supported by other findings using clinical samples of children and adolescents ( 19 , 21 ) and non-clinical samples of children and adolescents ( 19 , 22 , 23 , 24 ). A recent OCI-CV revised study was conducted where researchers omitted hoarding items and conducted a survey using 18 items.…”

“…C-FOCI and LOI-CV self-report provides a fast assessment of both the presence and severity of OCD symptoms, it does not evaluate the severity of individual symptoms ( 16 ) and insensitivity to treatment changes ( 17 , 18 ). Compared to other self-reports, OCI-CV is a well-established self-report measure that assesses the frequency and distress related to OCD based on dimensionality ( 19 ). This questionnaire is a shorter version of a self-instrument (21-items) developed for children and adolescents from the adult version of the OCI (42-items) inventory and is sensitive to treatment changes ( 18 ).…”

“…Due to the high usability of OCI-CV in screening for OCD, as well as sensitivity to treatment changes, this tool has been widely translated and validated. For example, the OCI-CV has been tested on clinical and non-clinical samples in Spain ( 23 ), Italy ( 22 ), Chile ( 19 ), Sweden ( 21 ), Nigeria ( 25 ) and Iran ( 19 ). All of these studies findings showed comparable results and confirmed the instrument's compatibility with non-Western cultures, as well as demonstrating it to be a valid and reliable technique to assess paediatric OCD.…”

Background This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of reliability and validity of OCI-CV in a non-clinical sample of Malaysian children and adolescents. Method Participants of school-age and adolescent students from Klang Valley School completed the 21-item Malay OCI-CV using Google Form. OCI-CV English version was translated backward and forward to the Malay language. Face validity was conducted first before distributing the questionnaire to the participants. Exploratory Factor analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of OCI-CV. Results A total of 102 school-age children and adolescents with a mean age of 15.96 years (male: 41.2%, female: 58.8%) participated in the study. The Malay OCI-CV showed high internal consistency, with Cronbach Alpha values of 0.90 for the whole scale. EFA showed multifactorial components. Five factors were labelled as “Washing / Ordering, Doubting, Obsessions, Checking, and Hoarding,”. In the CFA, the five-factor model indicates adequate fit indices of (χ2/df = 1.51, RMSEA = .071, GFI = .824, AGFI = .769, NFI = .724, CFI = .880). Conclusion The Malay OCI-CV has good psychometric properties and is suitable for use in the Malaysian context. Further validation studies should be conducted among a clinical population to enhance the generalization of this finding.
