Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Bisherige Selbstbeurteilungsinstrumente zur Abbildung posttraumatischer Belastungsstörungen (PTSD) berücksichtigen häufig den Symptomschweregrad nicht; außerdem setzen sie voraus, daß das Trauma bekannt sein muß. Fragestellung: Wir untersuchten die psychometrischen Eigenschaften eines Screeningverfahrens, das unabhängig von einem bekannten Trauma auch die Symptomintensität erfaßt. Methode: Die Modified PTSD Symptom Scale (MPSS) wurde bei 103 stationär psychiatrischen Patienten eingesetzt, die auch mit einem standardisierten Interview (DIA-X) untersucht wurden. Ergebnisse: Die Werte für Cronbachs Alpha lagen zwischen .88 und .94. Die Übereinstimmung zwischen MPSS-Verdachts- und DIA-X-Diagnosen lag zwischen 65% und 82%. Die innere Konsistenz ähnelt denen anderer Verfahren. Schlußfolgerungen: Für den klinischen Kontext erweist sich die MPSS dadurch vorteilhaft, daß sie die PTSD-Symptomatologie unabhängig von einem bekannten Trauma in ihrer Häufigkeit und ihrem Schweregrad erfaßt.

The current study addresses the need for accurate measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in youth by investigating the psychometric properties of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS). The factor structure, reliability, and concurrent and discriminant validity of the CPSS were investigated in a sample of 206 6th- to 12th-grade adolescents. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported a single-factor structure, which was contrary to the hypothesized three-factor structure. Scores comprising this one-factor structure were also associated with high reliability (α = .93), and tests of concurrent and discriminant validity were also strong. The implications of these findings are discussed, with particular emphasis on future directions for research on self-report measures for adolescent PTSD symptoms.

The present descriptive study was aimed at evaluating posttraumatic and depressive symptoms and their cooccurrence, in a sample of victims of workplace accidents. Also, posttraumatic negative cognitions were assessed. Eighty-five injured workers were evaluated, using the PTSD Symptom Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory II, and the posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory. 49.4% of injured workers reported both depressive and posttraumatic symptoms of clinical relevance. 20% only reported posttraumatic, but not depressive, symptoms, and 30.6% did not report either type of symptoms. The group with both posttraumatic and depressive symptoms displayed greater symptom severity and more negative cognitions about the self and about the world than the other two groups. The obtained findings indicate that workplace accidents can have a major impact upon the mental health of victims. Early interventions should be focused not only on the prevention or reduction of posttraumatic and depressive symptoms but also on restructuring specific maladaptive trauma-related cognitions.

ABSTRACTProlonged exposure (PE) therapy has been found efficient in reducing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms mostly among rape victims, but has not been explored in combat-related PTSD. Five patients with severe chronic PTSD, unresponsive to previous treatment (medication and supportive therapy) are described. Patients were evaluated with the PTSD Symptom Scale–Interview, and Beck Depression Inventory, before and after 10–15 sessions of PE therapy. All five patients showed marked improvement with PE, with a mean decrease of 48% in PTSD Symptom Scale–Interview score and 69% in Beck Depression Inventory score. Moreover, four patients maintained treatment gains or kept improving 6–18 months after the treatment. The results suggest that PE was effective in reducing combat-related chronic PTSD symptoms.
