Conclusion: Kocaeli Short Screening Scale for Psychological Trauma has satisfactory specifity and sensitivity in predicting the diagnosis of PTSD. It is a valid instrument for wide scale mental health surveys.

?Kocaeli - Ruhsal Travma Kısa Tarama Ölçeği?nin (Kocaeli - Kısa) Geçerliği

Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu (TSSB)?nu toplum temelli çalışmalarda değerlendirebilecek kısa ve kolay uygulanabilir bir ölçeğin geçerliliğini araştırmak amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Yöntemsel bir araştırma olarak tasarlanan çalışmaya en az bir travmatik olay yaşantısı bildiren 127 kişi katılmıştır. ?Kocaeli Ruhsal Travma Kısa Tarama Ölçeği?nin (Kocaeli-Kısa) geçerliğini değerlendirmek için Klinisyen Tarafından Uygulanan TSSB Ölçeği (TSSB-Ö / CAPS) çalışmada altın standart olarak kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: ?Kocaeli-Kısa?da değerlendirilen belirti şiddeti ile TSSB-Ö puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r=.71, p<.001). ?Kocaeli-Kısa?nın duyarlılığı 0.93, seçiciliği 0.77, pozitif kestirim değeri 0.59, negatif kestirim değeri ise 0.97 bulunmuştur.

Tartışma: ?Kocaeli-Kısa? geniş ölçekli toplum taramalarında kullanılabilecek geçerli ve yeterli seçicilik ve duyarlılığa sahip bir ölçek olarak görünmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: TSSB, toplum taramaları, özbildirim ölçeği, koruyucu ruh sağlığı
