Background: The impact of traumatic experiences or adverse life experiences has been shown to potentially affect a wide range of mental health outcomes. However, there was no brief instrument to screen for a range of psychological problems in different domains after a potentially traumatic event, and for risk factors and protective factors. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the Japanese version of the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) in a traumatized sample in Japan. Method: A total sample (n = 58) with varying levels of potential posttrauma symptoms due to domestic violence or other events were recruited into this study. Self-rating measures of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and alcohol problems were conducted to investigate the concurrent validity. Results: The results show that a range of posttrauma symptoms assessed by the GPS were highly endorsed by this traumatized sample in all domains except for self-harm, derealization, and depersonalization. The GPS sum score was highly correlated (r > 0.79) with other measures of PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Also, the subdomain scores showed acceptable correlations with corresponding domain measures. Participants who had been sexually assaulted or had unwanted sexual experiences, and participants who had been physically assaulted during childhood, had higher scores on the total GPS and on subdomains of PTSD, as well as symptoms associated with Complex PTSD. Conclusions: This study provides an initial indication that the GPS may be a useful screening tool for trauma survivors and elucidates that the consequences of trauma are not limited to PTSD. Tamizaje de síntomas asociados con trauma psicológico: traducción japonesa y prueba piloto del mapeo global de psicotrauma Antecedentes: Se ha demostrado que el impacto de las experiencias traumáticas o de las experiencias vitales adversas tiene el potencial de comprometer la salud mental dentro de un amplio rango de consecuencias. Sin embargo, no existía ningún instrumento breve para tamizar una variedad de problemas psicológicos, en diferentes dominios, después de un evento potencialmente traumático, ni para los factores de riesgo, ni para los factores protectores. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es el de examinar la consistencia interna y la validez concurrente de la versión japonesa del Mapeo Global de Psicotrauma (GPS, por sus siglas en ingles) en una muestra de personas traumatizadas en Japón. Método: Para este estudio, se reclutó una muestra total (n=58) con distintos niveles de síntomas postraumáticos potenciales secundarios a violencia domestica u otros eventos. Para investigar la validez concurrente, se realizaron mediciones auto reportadas para el trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT), la depresión, la ansiedad y para problemas asociados al consumo de alcohol. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que un espectro de síntomas postraumáticos, evaluados mediante el GPS, se encontraba altamente vinculado a esta ...
