Abstract

This study presents the psychometric properties for the UCLA Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Index among a sample of Somali adolescents. Data were derived from a sample of English-speaking Somali adolescent refugees between the ages of 12 and 19 years (n=76). The UCLA PTSD Index showed good reliability (Cronbach's alpha=.85). Convergent validity was assessed through bivariate correlations with the Depression Self Rating Scale (r=.72, p<.001) and the War Trauma Screening Scale (r=59, p<.001). Results suggest that the UCLA PTSD Index may be a reliable and valid screening tool for PTSD symptoms for use with Somali adolescent refugees.

摘要

本研究呈现了索马里青少年样本中加州大学洛杉矶分校创伤后应激障碍指数的心理测量特性。数据来源于12至19岁会说英语的索马里青少年难民样本（n = 76）。加州大学洛杉矶分校创伤后应激障碍指数显示出良好的信度（克朗巴哈系数α = 0.85）。通过与抑郁自评量表（r = 0.72，p < 0.001）和战争创伤筛查量表（r = 0.59，p < 0.001）的双变量相关性评估了收敛效度。结果表明，加州大学洛杉矶分校创伤后应激障碍指数可能是用于筛查索马里青少年难民创伤后应激障碍症状的可靠且有效的工具。
