“…Trauma Symptom Checklist-33 (TSC-33) [5] measures symptoms found in psychologically traumatised individuals. Each TSC-33 item (e.g.`Nightmares',`Feeling things arè`u nreal'' ',`Feeling that you are not always in your body', and`Feeling tense all the time') is rated according to its frequency over the preceding 2 months, using a four-point scale ranging from 0 (never) to 3 (often).…”

Treatment in an intensive care unit can be stressful and may leave patients with persisting psychological symptoms that impair quality of life. This postal questionnaire study of patients who had previously been treated in a general adult intensive care unit showed that 38 (47%) of 80 patients who returned fully completed questionnaires reported clinically significant anxiety and depression as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Thirty (38%) reported significant symptoms of post‐traumatic stress disorder, of whom 12 (15%) reached levels consistent with a diagnosis of full post‐traumatic stress disorder as measured by the Trauma Symptom Checklist 33 and the Impact of Events Scale. We describe a new measure of psychological distress specifically related to the experience of intensive care management, the Experience after Treatment in Intensive Care 7 Item Scale, and compare it to the other scales. The Experience after Treatment in Intensive Care 7 Item Scale shows that at least a proportion of the post‐traumatic stress reported was directly attributable to the experience of treatment in the intensive care unit.

“…Trauma Symptom Checklist-40 (TSC-40;Briere & Runtz, 1989;Elliott & Briere, 1992). The TSC-40 consists of 40 items that assess adult symptoms associated with traumatic childhood or adult experiences.…”

“…Respondents use a four-point scale (from 0 = "never" to 3 = "often") to rate the frequency with which they have experienced each symptom during the past 2 months. The TSC Total score demonstrates strong internal reliability (alphas ranging from .89 to .91; Briere & Runtz, 1989;Elliott& Briere, 1992) and was selected as the primary outcome variable for the study. The TSC-40 and its predecessor, the TSC-33, have also shown predictive validity with reference to abroad range of traumatic experiences, including being a victim of intimate violence (Dutton, 1995) and vicarious traumatization in psychotherapists with large caseloads of traumatized clients (Chrestman, 1995).…”

Objectives: This study had two primary objectives: First, to examine the nature and co-occurrence of various forms of child maltreatment (sexual, physical. emotional, and witnessing violence) reported by Latina college students, and second, to explore coexisting maltreatment types and acculturation status as possible contributors to long-term adjustment diffi culties.Method: Participants were 112 Latina undergraduate students categorized by the number of childhood maltreatment types experienced (0, 1, or 2 or more) and acculturation level (1 to 5). The possible effects of co-occurring forms of maltreatment, in conjunction with acculturation status, were investigated with respect to participants' reported trauma symptomatology. Data were collected using self-report measures.Results: Nearly three out of 10 participants (29% ) experienced more than one type of child maltreatment and, as expected, these individuals reported greater trauma symptomatology than those reporting either a single type of maltreatment or no maltreatment at all. Those who reported multiple types also endured more severe maltreatment than did respondents who experienced a single type. Acculturation level was neither directly related to trauma symptoms nor did it moderate the lasting correlates of maltreatment among victims. Interestingly, those who experienced a single form of maltreatment reported no more trauma symptoms than did participants who reported no maltreatment history at all. Conclusion:This investigation documents a large degree of overlap among various forms of selfreported childhood maltreatment within a Latina college population. The results underscore the need to consider multiple forms of maltreatment, as well as severity, when making inferences regarding potential effects on later functioning.

“…TSC-40: This 40-item self-report instrument was derived from earlier version of the Trauma Symptom Checklist-33 [23] to evaluate symptomatology in adults associated with childhood or adult traumatic experiences [24]. It measures facets of posttraumatic stress syndrome and other symptom clusters observed in traumatized individuals.…”

Objective: The posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist is one of the most widely used screening tool in assessing PTSD symptomatology. Several changes to PTSD definition were made in the recent revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The aim of the study was to assess psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), the revised version conforming to the advances in DSM-5. Method: Psychiatric outpatients with PTSD (n = 29) and major depressive disorder (n = 73) and a community group (n = 360) included in the study. Respondents completed the PCL-5, Trauma Symptom Checklist-40, Life Events Checklist for DSM-5, Dissociative Experiences Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory and Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory. Results: We found a four-factor solution best fit to the data providing support for the vast array of PTSD research. The PCL-5 demonstrated good reliability with composite reliability coefficients of re-experiencing (.79-.92), avoidance (.73-.91), negative alterations (.85-.90) and hyperarousal (.81-.88) and temporal reliability with two-week test retest intra-correlation coefficients of .70, .64, .78, and .76, respectively. Strong associations of the total and subscale scores of the PCL-5 with other measures of trauma-related symptoms were indicative of construct validity of the screening tool. The current investigation suggested a cut-off score ≥47 for PTSD diagnosis, with .76 sensitivity and .69 specificity. Conclusion: The PCL-5 is a promising screening tool with sound psychometric properties. ARTICLE HISTORY
