“…The CRTES-R consists of 23 items, asking about the frequency of PTSD symptoms over the past week on a 4-point Likert scale (0=not at all, 1=seldom, 3=sometimes, 5=often). The Korean version was validated by Jeong et al [ 22 ]. Internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach’s α=0.95) in this study.…”

“…17 Among the self-reports assessing psychological trauma, the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children, 18 Children' s Response to Traumatic Scale; Revised (CRTES-R), 19 or the Child Report of Posttraumatic Symptoms 20 are validated into Korean. [21][22][23] Although these self-report scales are well-established tools, they do not provide comprehensive coverage of psychological problems relevant to child maltreatment with an economic number of items. In contrast, the Child Behavior Checklist 24 and the Korean Personality Rating Scale for Children (KPRC) 25 are wellknown comprehensive problem behavior checklists usually administered as parent-report versions.…”

Objective This study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive self-report questionnaire to assess emotional and behavioral problems and psychological trauma in maltreated children.Methods The Mental Health Scale for Maltreated Children (MHS-MC) was constructed to encompass five major symptoms (depression, anxiety, inattention/hyperactivity/impulsivity, aggression/defiance, and psychological trauma) prevalent in maltreated children. Critical items and ego-resilience subscale were also devised to increase clinical utility. After informed consent, 205 children (maltreated children, n=157, 76.6%) were recruited nationwide, and they answered a package of self-report measures, including the MHS-MC. Reliability, construct validity, concurrent validity, and criterion-related validity were examined to explore the psychometric properties.Results The reliability was good to excellent. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a five-factorial solution for the symptom subscales supporting construct validity. In logistic regression, the total scores of the MHS-MC predicted membership in the maltreated group. Criterion-related validity was generally satisfactory in that all subscales of the MHS-MC showed significant correlations with relevant measures in the expected direction.Conclusion This is the first attempt to develop a comprehensive psychological scale based on nationwide data collected from maltreated Korean children. We hope that the continued standardization of this scale will contribute to evidence-based clinical and policy decisionmaking for maltreated children.

“…In this study, we evaluated the trauma symptoms, anxiety, depression, and stress levels. To assess the trauma symptoms, the Korean version of the Children’s Response to Traumatic Events Scale-Revised (K-CRTES-R) was conducted [ 35 ]. The KCRTES-R is a 23-item questionnaire designed to assess intrusion, avoidance, and arousal based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-4th Edition (DSMIV) [ 8 , 22 ].…”

Objective The Children in Disaster: Evaluation and Recovery (CIDER) program in Korea was developed to treat children and adolescents exposed to trauma. This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the CIDER through a comparison with controls.Methods A total of 85 participants consisted of the intervention group (n=41) and control group (n=44). We assessed the changes in trauma-related symptoms, depression, anxiety, and improvements in quality of life before and after the intervention.Results In total, bullying and school violence (44.7%) were the most common trauma, followed by sexual abuse (17.6%). Acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) accounted for 41.2%, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and developmental disorder were the most common comorbidities (51.8%). The symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, and quality of life improved significantly in the intervention group, while the control group did not show significant changes.Conclusion Compared with the control group, the CIDER improved symptoms and quality of life in children and adolescents who had experienced trauma. The CIDER program was practical and easy to apply, even for different ages, types of traumas, and comorbidities.
