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.
Validity with a civilian trauma-exposed sample has been demonstrated, with substantial relationships found between the TSI's clinical scale scores and other established measures of PTSD. [5] Further corroboration of the TSI's psychometric properties, with trauma-exposed military veterans, was recently documented. [6]
The Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) is a 22-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess subjective distress caused by traumatic events. It is commonly used in research and clinical settings to measure the severity of symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The IES-R is an updated version of the original Impact ...
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).
Evidence-based, trauma-focused psychotherapy is the first-line treatment for PTSD. [1] [2] [3] Psychotherapy is defined as a treatment where a therapist and patient build a therapeutic relationship and focus on the patient's thoughts, attitudes, affect, behavior, and social development to lessen the patient's psychopathologies and functional impairment.
The questionnaire has displayed several flaws in implementation and its ability to accurately reflect test-taker experience. While the questionnaire includes symptoms non-specific to PCS, which allows for a broader range of diagnosis (i.e. of other conditions such as chronic pain), this is at the expense of precision. [9]
The Clinically Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is an in-person clinical assessment for measuring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). [1] The CAPS includes 30 items administered by a trained clinician to assess PTSD symptoms, [2] including their frequency and severity. The CAPS distinguishes itself from other PTSD assessments in that it can ...
The history of light therapy can be traced back to ancient Egypt and India, where therapy with natural sunlight was first used to treat leucoderma. [3] In the 1850s, Florence Nightingale's advocacy of exposure to clean air and sunlight for health restoration also contributed to the initial development of light therapy for treatments. [4]
