This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Child Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (CPTCI) in a sample of Portuguese children and adolescents, following the exposition to a wildfire disaster. The sample included 533 children and adolescents living in regions exposed to the wildfire disaster (non-clinical sample: n = 483; clinical sample: n = 50). The short form of the instrument (CPTCI-SF) including two correlated factors ('Sense of Disturbing and Permanent Change' and 'Sense of Being a Fragile Person in a Scary World') showed good model fit and was invariant across gender and age-groups. Good internal consistency (> .70) was found, and higher CPTCI scores were associated with poorer adjustment indicators. The clinical sample presented significantly higher CPTCI scores than the non-clinical sample. These results contribute to the cross-cultural validation of the CPTCI and support the adequacy of its short form as a reliable and valid measure to be used with Portuguese children and adolescents.
本研究旨在检验葡萄牙儿童和青少年样本在经历野火灾难后，儿童创伤后认知量表（CPTCI）的心理测量特性。样本包括533名生活在受野火灾难影响地区的儿童和青少年（非临床样本：n = 483；临床样本：n = 50）。该量表的简版（CPTCI-SF）包括两个相关因素（“干扰和永久性变化感”以及“在可怕世界中成为脆弱之人的感觉”），显示出良好的模型拟合，并且在性别和年龄组之间具有不变性。发现其内部一致性良好（> 0.70），且CPTCI得分越高，与越差的适应指标相关。临床样本的CPTCI得分显著高于非临床样本。这些结果有助于CPTCI的跨文化验证，并支持其简版作为一种可靠且有效的测量工具用于葡萄牙儿童和青少年的适用性。
