Trauma Screening Questionnaire abbreviated as (TSQ) is a questionnaire developed for screening of posttraumatic stress disorder. [1] The TSQ was adapted from the PTSD Symptom Scale – Self-Report Version (PSS-SR). [2] This self-reported assessment scale consists of 10 items, which cover one of the main signs of PTSD.
PTSD Symptom Scale – Self-Report Version (PSS-SR) is a 17-item self-reported questionnaire to assess symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. [1] Each of the 17 items describe PTSD symptoms which respondents rate in terms of their frequency or severity using a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all or only one time) to 3 (almost always or five or more times per week).
As a result, the PSS is commonly implemented using the 10-item form. [27] Cohen et al. (1988) further reduced the PSS to a four item form for quick measurements; however, scores on the 4-item PSS tend to exhibit lower reliability estimates than researchers would like. [26]
Both criterion F and G must be met as well for a PTSD diagnosis. [10] To meet criteria for a symptom, a patient must meet criteria in both frequency and intensity score for each item. Frequency and intensity and then combined to form a single severity score. Severity scores range from 0-4, with 0 being absent to 4 being extreme/incapacitating. [10]
The CPSS questionnaire covers the symptoms of PTSD, specifically in youth, using the definitions and criteria from DSM-IV. The current edition of the DSM made changes to the diagnosis of PTSD, and new research needs to ascertain whether the DSM changes alter the accuracy of the CPSS. CPSS stands for Child PTSD Symptom Scale, CPSS-I is the CPSS ...
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System [1] (PROMIS) provides clinicians and researchers access to reliable, valid, and flexible measures of health status that assess physical, mental, and social well–being from the patient perspective.
A Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS – also called a Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale) is a scale ranging from 0 to 10 measuring the subjective intensity of disturbance or distress currently experienced by an individual. [1] Respondents provide a self report of where they are on the scale.
