Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS-5)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recommended\u00a0frequency: Every 4 weeks<\/em><\/p>\n

Summary<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS-5) is a 27-item measure that evaluates posttraumatic symptom severity in children and adolescents based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.<\/p>\n

There are two parts to the scale. The first part of the scale consists of 20 items that evaluate the frequency and severity of re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptoms individuals exposed to a traumatic or distressing event may have experienced over the past month on a 5-point Likert scale. The second part of the CPSS-5 contains 7 items and determines whether any of the posttraumatic symptoms have functionally impaired a certain domain of the individual\u2019s life (e.g. \u201cRelationships with your friends\u201d) over the past month.<\/p>\n

The self-report version of the scale can be used by individuals between the ages of 8 to 18. There is a therapist-complete version that can be administered in-session with a child. A parent\/caregiver version has also been developed; although, this measures has not been empirically validated. The CPSS-5 can be used to measure changes in PTSD symptoms and assess for childhood and adolescent PTSD diagnoses.<\/p>\n

Psychometric Properties<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The CPSS-5 demonstrates excellent internal consistency (\u03b1s = .92) and good test-retest reliability (r = .80) for its total score. It also demonstrates good convergent validity and discriminant validity with the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) and Child Depression Inventory (CDI).<\/p>\n

The Scale<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sometimes scary or upsetting things happen to kids. It might be something like a car accident, getting beaten up, living through an earthquake, being robbed, being touched in a way you didn\u2019t like, having a parent get hurt or killed, or some other very upsetting event. These questions ask how you feel about an upsetting thing that you experienced.<\/p>\n

Read each question carefully. Then select the number (0-4) that best describes how often that problem has bothered you\u00a0IN THE LAST MONTH<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Scoring<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The first part of the CPSS-5 assesses symptom severity, which is calculated by assigning 0-4 to the response categories of:<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 Not at all \/ only at one time
\n1 \u2013 Once a week or less \/ a little
\n2 \u2013 2 to 3 times a week \/ somewhat
\n3 \u2013 4 to 5 times a week \/ a lot
\n4 \u2013 6 or more times a week \/ almost always<\/p>\n

Scores for the first part of the scale range from 0-80, higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. A cutoff score of 31 or higher in part one of the CPSS-5 is recommended for identifying probable PTSD.<\/p>\n

The second part of the scale assesses functional impairment. Individuals rate whether any of the endorsed symptoms have affected their functioning. Points are assigned from 0-1 to the response categories \u201cNo\u201d and \u201cYes\u201d, respectively. Scores for the second part of the scale range from 0-7, higher scores revealing greater functional impairment.<\/p>\n
