Abstract

The Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms in Children (PTSS-C) was developed as a cross-cultural semi-structured interview to diagnose posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to identify PTSD-non-related posttraumatic stress symptoms in children after various traumatic experiences. The psychometric properties were studied in two different child populations in Iraqi Kurdistan (the survivors of the military operation "Anfal", and the orphans), in a sample of Kurdistanian refugee children in Sweden, and in a comparison sample of Swedish children. The instrument yielded satisfactory internal consistency, high interrater agreement, and excellent validity on cross-validation with the Child Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index (CPTSD-RI) and the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents (DICA) according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).

摘要

儿童创伤后应激症状量表（PTSS-C）是作为一种跨文化的半结构化访谈而开发的，用于诊断创伤后应激障碍（PTSD），并识别儿童在经历各种创伤事件后出现的与PTSD无关的创伤后应激症状。该量表在伊拉克库尔德斯坦的两个不同儿童群体（“安法尔”军事行动的幸存者和孤儿）、瑞典的库尔德难民儿童样本以及瑞典儿童的对照样本中进行了心理测量特性研究。根据《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》（DSM-IV），该工具具有令人满意的内部一致性、较高的评分者间一致性，并且在与儿童创伤后应激障碍反应指数（CPTSD-RI）和儿童青少年诊断访谈（DICA）的交叉验证中具有出色的效度。
