In light of the clinical and scientific relevance of traumatic events and posttraumatic disorders our study aimed to develop and validate the Essen Trauma-Inventory for Children and Adolescents (ETI-CA). The new instrument should assess various aspects of traumatic events and both posttraumatic disorders, namely Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Acute Stress Disorder according to the criteria provided in DSM-IV.
ETI-CA was administered to a sample consisting of 276 children and adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years with regard to psychometric properties on clinical and non-clinical groups.
The ETI-CA subscales as well as the total score proved to have high internal consistency. The 4-factorial structure (intrusion, avoidance, hyperarousal, dissociation) was in line with the theoretical assumptions. Associations between ETI-CA and other trauma instruments as well as instruments for psychological distress and protective factors provided empirical evidence for the construct validity of ETI-CA.
In German-speaking regions, the ETI-CA represents the first economic, reliable and valid screening instrument that assesses exposure to a broad range of potential traumatic events as well as posttraumatic disorders. The ETI-CA can be recommended for use in research as well as in clinical settings.
鉴于创伤性事件和创伤后障碍的临床及科学相关性，我们的研究旨在开发并验证《埃森儿童青少年创伤量表》（ETI-CA）。新工具应根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版（DSM-IV）规定的标准，评估创伤性事件的各个方面以及两种创伤后障碍，即创伤后应激障碍和急性应激障碍。
针对临床组和非临床组的心理测量特性，对276名年龄在12至17岁之间的儿童和青少年样本进行了ETI-CA测试。
ETI-CA分量表以及总分均具有较高的内部一致性。四因素结构（侵入、回避、过度警觉、解离）与理论假设相符。ETI-CA与其他创伤工具以及心理困扰和保护因素工具之间的关联为ETI-CA的结构效度提供了实证依据。
在德语地区，ETI-CA是首个经济、可靠且有效的筛查工具，可评估广泛潜在创伤性事件的暴露情况以及创伤后障碍。ETI-CA可推荐用于研究及临床环境。
