“…However, it is difficult to generalize the results because of the specificity of the study sample. Recently, a study conducted with the South Korean national survey data supported a seven-factor model, which is in line with the results of the present study even though the type of traumatic event differed [ 25 ]. Moreover, many recent PCL-5 studies have shown that PTSD symptoms can be further subdivided into six- or seven-factor models [ 13 – 16 ].…”

“…Higher scores indicate more severe PTSD symptoms. According to a recent South Korean PCL-5 validation study by Lee et al [ 25 ], Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were 0.90, 0.87, 0.91, and 0.92 for re-experiencing, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood, and hyperarousal, respectively. In this study, the PCL-5 showed good internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.93, 0.88, 0.90, and 0.91, and composite reliability (CR) of 0.94, 0.88, 0.90, and 0.91 for re-experiencing, avoidance, negative alterations in cognitions and mood, and hyperarousal, respectively.…”

“…In addition, the six-factor model was found to fit well in Bangladesh (Islam et al 2021) and the Netherlands [ 15 ], while the seven-factor model displayed a superior fit in France [ 13 ], Italy [ 12 ], and the Netherlands [ 15 ]. In South Korea, a previous validation study with Vietnam War veterans supported the superiority of the single-factor model [ 24 ], while the seven-factor hybrid model was found to be the most appropriate in another PCL-5 validation study with adults [ 25 ].…”

The threat of COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea and around the globe challenged not only physical health but also mental health, increasing the chances of disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such pandemic situation can be referred to a traumatic event for citizens. The present study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5), which is named the K-COVID-related-PTSD. The scale measures PTSD symptomology in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea. A total of 1434 South Korean citizens were included in this study. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and Mplus 8.0. The results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a superior fit for the seven-factor hybrid model (x2 = 1425.445 (df = 149), CFI = 0.950, TLI = 0.937, SRMR = 0.033, RMSEA = 0.077) consisting of re-experiencing, negative affect, anxious arousal, dysphoric arousal, avoidance, anhedonia, and externalizing behaviors. Furthermore, the K-COVID-related-PTSD showed a satisfactory level of internal consistency (α = 0.793 to α = 0.939) with good convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, concurrent validity was confirmed by the significant correlations with all the negative mental health outcomes, such as PTSD symptoms, somatization, depression, anxiety, anger, negative affect, job burnout, and suicidal ideation. Overall, the current results demonstrate the K-COVID-related-PTSD is a valid scale and therefore has important implications for future pandemic-related studies.

“…If the total score exceeds 33 points, the patient meets the DSM‐5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD (Wortmann et al, 2016 ). The Cronbach's alpha value of the original tool was .94 (Blevins et al, 2015 ), and the Cronbach's alpha value of the Korean PCL‐5 was .91–.93 (Lee et al, 2020 ). In this study, PTSD was defined as a total PCL‐5 score of 34 points or more.…”

Aim To analyse the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and examine its related factors among nurses who worked during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic in Daegu, South Korea. Background Nurses are a high‐risk population for PTSD, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study was conducted to identify the nursing work environmental factors that should be addressed to reduce PTSD. Methods Using a cross‐sectional design, 365 nurses were enrolled. Their characteristics (intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, and COVID‐19‐related) and PTSD Checklist‐5 scores were analysed. Results The average PTSD score was 14.98 ± 15.94, and 16.5% of the participants had a high risk of PTSD. Nurses were more likely to have PTSD if they were married (odds ratio = 3.02, p = .013) and when nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support of nurses were low (odds ratio = 3.81, p < .001). Conclusions The nursing work environment was found to be associated with PTSD. Therefore, interventions are necessary to increase nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support for nurses to reduce the risk of PTSD among nurses. Implications for Nursing Management Effective professional and social support and interventions to improve nurse managers' abilities, leadership, and support of nurses are needed to reduce PTSD.

“…The studies used non-clinical samples, and PTSD symptoms were not assessed with interview-based instruments such as the Clinician-Administered Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) or the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5-research version (SCID-5-RV). 15,16 In this study, we aimed to develop and validate the Korean version of PCL-5 (K-PCL-5) and the short-form PCL-5 (K-PCL-5-S). After translating K-PCL-5 into Korean while maintaining its basic structure, we assessed the validity and reliability of the K-PCL-5 and K-PCL-5-S to test their usefulness in Korean patients with PTSD.…”

Objective This study presents the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders-fifth edition (DSM-5) (K-PCL-5) and the short form (K-PCL-5-S).Methods Seventy-one subjects with PTSD, 74 subjects with mood or anxiety disorders, and 99 healthy controls were enrolled. The Korean version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5-research version was used to confirm the presence of PTSD. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), and Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to evaluate the concurrent validity of the K-PCL-5 and K-PCL-5-S.Results It presented good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α=0.93) and test-retest reliability (r=0.90). The K-PCL-5 and K-PCL-5-S were highly correlated with the BDI-II, BAI, IES-R, STAI-S, and STAI-T. The suggested cutoff score for PTSD was 33 for the K-PCL-5 with a sensitivity of 88.51 and specificity of 89.09, and 6 for the K-PCL-5-S with a sensitivity of 91.95 and specificity of 89.09. The data were best explained with a one-factor model.Conclusion These results demonstrated the good reliability and validity of the K-PCL-5 and K-PCL-5-S, and their suitability as simple tools for PTSD assessment.
