“…Test retest reliability up to 7-day is good for the total CRIES-13 ( r ′ s = .76–.85) (Panter-Brick et al, 2011; Verlinden et al, 2014), and r = .75 for CRIES-8 (Verlinden et al, 2014). However, it is less acceptable for the subscales; Intrusion r = .58; Avoidance: r = .68 and Arousal: r = .53 (van der Kooij et al, 2013).…”

Identification of possible cases suffering post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is important, especially in developing countries where traumatic events are typically prevalent. The Children’s Revised Impact of Events Scale is a reliable and valid measure that has two brief versions (13 items and 8 items) to assess reactions to traumatic events among young people. The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of both versions of the CRIES in a sample of 1,342 children and adolescents aged 9–17 years (M = 12.3 years, SD = 2.12) recruited from six districts of Bangladesh. A sub-group of 120 children from four schools was re-tested on the measures within 3.5 weeks. Confirmatory factor analysis supported factor structures similar to those found in other studies for both versions of the CRIES. Multiple group confirmatory factor analysis showed gender and age-group differences within the sample, supporting established age and gender differences in prevalence of PTSD symptoms. Analyses also indicated moderate to excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability and clear discriminant and convergent validity. These data support use of both the CRIES-13 and CRIES-8 to provide quick and psychometrically sound assessment of symptoms of PTSD among children and adolescents from Bangla-speaking communities.

“…In accordance with previous studies, the missing items were scored 0 for calculation of the total score. If two or more items of a subscale were not filled out, a total score could not be calculated (Verlinden et al 2014b). Cut-off score of the CRIES parental version is 31 (Verlinden et al 2014a).…”

Resource parents are often insufficiently prepared for recognizing and managing posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in their traumatized foster children, which can put a successful foster placement at risk. The Resource Parent Curriculum (RPC) developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network is designed to increase resource parents' sensitivity towards child PTSS. This study explores the effect of the RPC on resource parents' recognition of child PTSS, resource parents' perceived upbringing stress in caring for their foster child, and child PTSS before entering the RPC (T0), after completing the RPC (T1) and at six-month followup (T2). Results (n = 108) show an increase in recognition of child PTSS and a decrease in resource parents' experienced upbringing stress and child PTSS over time. Findings suggest that the RPC increases resource parents' trauma sensitivity. However, child PTSS severity remains high. To address foster children's PTSS, child trauma-focused treatment appears needed in addition to the RPC.

BackgroundLittle research has been done on the signs of child sexual abuse (CSA) in infants and very young children, or on the consequences that such abuse - including the persistence of the abusive pornographic images on the internet - might have for the children and their parents. The effects of CSA can be severe, and a variety of risk- and protective factors, may influence those effects. CSA may affect the psychosocial-, emotional-, cognitive-, and physical development of children, their relationships with their parent(s), and the relations between parents. In the so called `the Amsterdam sexual abuse case’ (ASAC), infants and very young children were victimized by a day-care employee and most of the victims were boys. Research involving the children and their parents would enable recognition of the signs of CSA in very young children and understanding the consequences the abuse might have on the long term.Methods/designThe proposed research project consists of three components:(I) An initial assessment to identify physical- or psychological signs of CSA in infants and very young children who are thought to have been sexually abused (n = 130);(II) A cross-sequential longitudinal study of children who have experienced sexual abuse, or for whom there are strong suspicions;(III) A qualitative study in which interviews are conducted with parents (n = 25) and with therapists treating children from the ASAC. Parents will be interviewed on the perceived condition of their child and family situation, their experiences with the service responses to the abuse, the effects of legal proceedings and media attention, and the impact of knowing that pornographic material has been disseminated on the internet. Therapists will be interviewed on their clinical experiences in treating children and parents.The assessments will extend over a period of several years. The outcome measures will be symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dissociative symptoms, age-inappropriate sexual behaviors and knowledge, behavioral problems, attachment disturbances, the quality of parent-child interaction, parental PTSD, parental partner relation, and biological outcomes (BMI and DNA).DiscussionThe ASAC-project would facilitate early detection of symptoms and prompt therapeutic intervention when CSA is suspected in very young children.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12888-014-0295-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
