“…Cronbach's α coefficient for the entire scale, in the validation group of employees of the Polish emergency medical system, was 0.77. In this group, there was a strong positive correlation between peritraumatic distress and severity of posttraumatic stress symptoms, which confirms the validity of the tool [55]. In our research group, PDI showed strong internal consistency, with a Cronbach's α of 0.83 for the total scale, 0.87 for the Negative Emotions subscales, and 0.80 for the Sense of Threat and Somatic Reactions subscales.…”

“…Peritraumatic distress is defined as the emotional and physiological distress experienced during and/or immediately after a traumatic event and is associated with the development and severity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related psychological difficulties [ 54 ]. The Polish version of the inventory used for mothers of healthy children and children with an eventful perinatal history consists of 11 statements, which make up 2 factors: (1) Negative emotions, (2) Sense of threat and somatic reactions [ 55 ]. Cronbach’s α coefficient for the entire scale, in the validation group of employees of the Polish emergency medical system, was 0.77.…”

A child’s illness or disability is a considerable stressor for the mother and a risk factor for many psychological problems and somatic diseases. The purpose of the study was to (1) assess the prevalence of poor SRH and pain, (2) compare self-rated health and pain, (3) and identify the determinants of SRH and pain in mothers of healthy children and children requiring ambulatory observation or hospitalization. The study covered 234 mothers of both healthy and unhealthy children who required outpatient observation or treatment at an intensive care unit, neonatal intensive care unit, or oncology department. To analyse the variables obtained, the following tools were used: Self-Rated Health, Numerical Rating, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, Peritraumatic Distress Inventory, Modified Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Impact of Effects Scale—Revised. The self-assessment of health in mothers of healthy children and those in need of outpatient observation or hospitalization at units with various specialities differed in a statistically significant way. The severity of the average and maximum pain among mothers of healthy children and those with a history of disease differed statistically significantly. Poor SRH co-occurred with severe maximum pain in all of the examined groups. Both in the control group and the group of mothers of children requiring outpatient observation, poor SRH co-occurred with a high level of anxiety. Only in the control group was a correlation found between the severity of the average and maximum pain and the severity of anxiety and depression symptoms.

“…The second factor ‘perceived life threat and bodily arousal’ explained 15% of the variance and had six items. A two-factor structure was also showed in most versions of the PDI (Bui et al, 2011 ; Jehel et al, 2005 ; Rybojad et al, 2018 ). However, the Polish version, validated on a sample of 100 emergency HCWs presented a three factor models (Rybojad & Aftyka, 2018 ), whereas a study on 75 survivors of the 11 September terroristic attack reported a four-factor one (Simeon, Greenberg, Knutelska, Schmeidler, & Hollander, 2003 ).…”

“…Furthermore, recent prospective data suggest that peritraumatic distress is a stronger predictor of the development of PTSD symptoms than peritraumatic dissociation (Bui et al., 2010 ). Due to its utility in clinical and research setting, the tool was validated in various languages (Jehel, Brunet, Paterniti, & Guelfi, 2005 ; Kianpoor et al, 2016 ; Nishi et al, 2009 ; Rybojad & Aftyka, 2018 ) and in particular populations, such as children (Bui et al, 2011 ), elderly (Bui et al, 2010 ; Brunet et al, 2013 ), caregivers (Rybojad, Aftyka, & Samardakiewicz, 2018 ) or HCWs, (Rybojad, Aftyka, & Milanowska, 2019 ). To the best of our knowledge, to date there are no official validations of the PDI in Italian.…”

Background: Peritraumatic distress as assessed by the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory (PDI), has been consistently shown to predict the development of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after the exposure to a potentially traumatizing event. Objective: The present study aims to validate the Italian version of the PDI in a sample of Healthcare Workers (HCWs) exposed to COVID-19 related potentially traumatizing events. Method: N = 265 HCWs who repeatedly experienced the deaths of patients during COVID-19 emergency in Italy, were enrolled from the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Pisana (Pisa, Italy). They completed the PDI, Impact Event Scale-revised (IES-R) and the reactions to losses or upsetting events Trauma and Loss Spectrum-Self Report (TALS-SR) domain. Results: Internal consistency was good with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .874. The PDI correlated strongly with measures that was conceptually close (TALS-SR reactions to losses or upsetting events domain; r = .723, p < .001). Participants who scored above the cutoff for PTSD reported significantly higher PDI scores than those who did not (6.47 ± 5.25 vs. 19.11 ± 8.291, p < 0.001). The one-month test-retest reliability (n = 21) was excellent (ICC = .997). Finally, factor analyses revealed that the PDI exhibited a single-factor structure. Conclusions: the Italian version of the PDI showed good psychometric proprieties and may be used to detect those at risk for developing PTSD. Validación de la versión italiana del Inventario de Distrés Peritraumático: validez, fiabilidad y análisis de factores en una muestra de trabajadores de la salud Antecedentes: Se ha demostrado sistemáticamente que el distrés peritraumático, evaluado por el Inventario de Distrés Peritraumático (PDI), predice el desarrollo del Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) después de la exposición a un evento potencialmente traumático. Objetivo: El presente estudio tiene por objeto validar la versión italiana del PDI en una muestra de Trabajadores de la Salud (TSP) expuestos a eventos potencialmente traumatizantes relacionados con COVID-19.

“…Factor analyses of the PDI have generally resulted in inconsistent findings (Brunet et al, 2001; Rybojad et al, 2018; Simeon et al, 2003). Our ESEM results confirm the likely heterogeneity of the PDI because there were some high-loading items on each of the five factors.…”

Peritraumatic reactions such as fear, psychic and somatoform dissociation, tonic immobility, data-driven processing, and mental defeat are important in the etiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However current measures of such reactions overlap conceptually and do not clearly identify distinct peritraumatic processes. It is not known which processes are uniquely associated with PTSD. We investigated the factor structure of six standard peritraumatic measures and their relationship with the four DSM-5 PTSD symptom clusters. Measures were administered to 308 earthquake survivors with high levels of exposure to traumatic events. Items comprising the six measures were investigated using exploratory structural equation modeling, which identified five peritraumatic response factors. Items from most measures loaded on multiple factors. The factors labeled Mental Defeat and Somatoform Dissociation significantly predicted all PTSD symptom clusters. The factor labeled Cognitive Overload significantly predicted Intrusions, Avoidance, and Alterations in Arousal and Reactivity. The factor labeled Immobility significantly predicted Intrusions and Avoidance while Distress significantly predicted Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood and Alterations in Arousal and Reactivity. Due to the key role such reactions play in the development of PTSD, the findings are likely to benefit the study of etiological mechanisms, the prediction of those at greatest risk, and the design of preventative interventions.
