■全球精神创伤屏幕(GPS)是一个简短的诊断筛查,涵盖了广泛的创伤相关疾病以及已知影响症状过程的风险因素。
■我们分析了在澳大利亚的非洲战争难民(n=70)的数据,包括GPS,DSM-5疾病的结构化临床访谈(SCID-5),DSM-5的临床医师管理PTSD量表(CAPS-5),和简短弹性量表(BRS)。
■使用YoudenJ指数检查测量PTSD的GPS分量表的临床有效性,解离,抑郁症,和广泛性焦虑症(GAD),我们发现创伤后应激障碍子量表得分为3分或更高,抑郁和离解子量表得分为1分或更高,对于检测可能的诊断(分别为Youden的J=0.76,J=0.72和J=0.90)具有最佳的敏感性和特异性。由于GAD发生率低,我们无法测试GAD的GPS临床有效性。GPS弹性项与总分无关(r=0.02),表明韧性的收敛有效性较低。危险因素,包括当前的压力源和童年创伤史,与更严重的GPS症状评分有关,虽然缺乏韧性,社会支持,精神病史没有。
■我们得出结论,GPS可能是PTSD的有用筛查工具,抑郁症,和难民中的分离亚型。
UNASSIGNED: The Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) is a brief transdiagnostic screener that covers a broad range of trauma-related disorders as well as risk factors known to influence the course of symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: We analyzed data from African war refugees in Australia (n = 70), including the GPS, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Disorders (SCID-5), the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS).
UNASSIGNED: Using the Youden\'s J Index to examine the clinical validity of the GPS subscales measuring PTSD, dissociation, depression, and generalized anxiety disorder (
GAD), we found that a PTSD subscale score of 3 or higher, and a depression and dissociation subscale score of 1 or higher, was optimally efficient for detecting a probable diagnosis (Youden\'s J = 0.76, J = 0.72, and J = 0.90, respectively) with high sensitivity and specificity. We were unable to test the GPS clinical validity for
GAD due to the low
GAD occurrence. The GPS resilience item was not related to the total score (r = 0.02), indicating low convergent validity for resilience. Risk factors, including current stressors and childhood trauma history, were related to more severe GPS symptom scores, while lack of resilience, social support, and history of mental illness were not.
UNASSIGNED: We conclude that the GPS may be a useful screening tool for PTSD, depression, and the dissociative subtype in refugees.
