This situation raised the need for a measuring instrument in the literature that assesses the withdrawal of children in Turkey.

The data obtained from the study were evaluated using SPSS 22.0 and MedCalc 19.1 statistical programs. Results: A significant positive (p=0.000 4. Cut-off point Sensitivity was 81.82; Specificity was 100; Youden index was J=0.818 (0 ), it was found that 56.2% of children developed withdrawal. Conclusions: As a result of the findings, it was determined that the Withdrawal Assessment Tool-1 makes sensitive measurements to distinguish differences and is a valid and reliable tool in Turkish.
