“…The ITQ has been translated into 24 different languages and dialects, and all versions are publicly available at https://www.traumameasuresglobal.com/itq. The French (i.e., Québec) version of the ITQ has been validated and demonstrates good psychometric properties as well (Cyr et al, 2020). Internal consistency was measured by McDonald's omega, a more appropriate measure than Cronbach's alpha for two-items scales (Vaske et al, 2017); a score above .70 suggests good internal consistency, and a score above .90 suggest excellent internal consistency (Béland et al, 2017).…”

The diagnosis of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) was included in the ICD-11 in 2018. Debates are still ongoing in the scientific community regarding the conceptual distinction between CPTSD symptoms and those of comorbid PTSD and borderline personality disorder (BPD). The present study aimed to determine whether (a) patterns of symptoms reported by women in a community sample would reveal a CPTSD profile distinct from PTSD and BPD profiles and (b) the resulting profiles could be compared on measures of cumulative childhood trauma exposure, dissociation, and life satisfaction. Women who reported at least one potentially traumatic experience (N = 438) completed questionnaires assessing PTSD, CPTSD, and BPD symptoms. We performed latent profile analyses testing seven models, with the five-profile model emerging as the most appropriate solution. The profiles were characterized as "high PTSD symptoms" (12.0%), "high CPTSD symptoms" (7.6%), "high BPD symptoms" (9.9%), "high CPTSD and BPD symptoms" (3.8%), and "low symptoms" (66.7%). Group comparisons revealed that the profiles characterized by high CPTSD symptoms, high BPD symptoms, and high CPTSD and BPD symptoms tended to include participants with higher levels of cumulative childhood trauma exposure and symptoms of dissociation and lower ratings of life satisfaction compared to the profiles characterized by high PTSD symptoms and low symptoms, ds = 0.55-1.06. These findings support the distinction between ICD-11 CPTSD symptoms and those of PTSD and BPD, promoting an integrative approach to understanding trauma sequelae, diagnosis, and treatment.

“…The original version of the ITQ has proven to be a clinically useful measure with good psychometric properties (Cloitre et al, 2018 ; 2021 ), and numerous translations have been published in Europe (Karatzias et al, 2017a ; Murphy et al, 2020 ; Somma et al, 2019 ; Vang et al, 2021 ), the Middle East (Cloitre et al, 2018 ; Gilbar et al, 2018 ; Vallières et al, 2018 ), Asia (Ho et al, 2019 ; 2020 ; Mordeno et al, 2019 ), Africa (Owczarek et al, 2020 ), North America (Cloitre et al, 2019 ; Cyr et al, 2022 ) and South America (Donat et al, 2019 ). A recent systematic review of the literature (Redican et al, 2021 ) shows that two models fit the ITQ factor structure correctly.…”

“…Cloitre et al, 2018 ; Vang et al, 2021 ). In terms of convergent validity, it has been established that the ITQ score is positively correlated with the number of aversive events experienced (Karatzias et al, 2017b ; Murphy et al, 2020 ), difficulties in maintaining a coherent sense of self (Cyr et al, 2022 ), or anxiety and depression (Gilbar, 2020 ). Where some symptoms appear to be more associated with PTSD (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder), others appear to be more associated with C-PTSD (depression, post-traumatic cognitions, emotion regulation) (Hyland et al, 2021b ).…”

“…Where some symptoms appear to be more associated with PTSD (panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder), others appear to be more associated with C-PTSD (depression, post-traumatic cognitions, emotion regulation) (Hyland et al, 2021b ). In terms of divergent validity, the ITQ has been shown to be negatively correlated with quality of life (Cyr et al, 2022 ). Finally, in a recent network analysis of the interconnection between PTSD/DSO and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in polytrauma patients, Owczarek et al ( 2022 ) showed that C-PTSD symptoms as measured by the ITQ were well distinguished from BPD symptoms.…”

“…Recent studies conducted with the ITQ in the general population have shown cumulative prevalence rates ranging from about 7-12%. For example, the prevalences of PTSD and C-PTSD are respectively 3.4% and 3.8% in the United States (Cloitre et al, 2019 ), 5% and 7.7% in Ireland (Hyland et al, 2021b ), or 5.1% and 2.7% in Canada (Cyr et al, 2022 ). Where some studies find a higher prevalence of PTSD than C-PTSD (Ben-Ezra et al, 2018 ; Rossi et al, 2022 ), others find the opposite (Møller et al, 2020 ; Hyland et al, 2021b ).…”

Aims: In 2018, the 11th version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) recognized a new diagnosis in addition to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), that of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). A new measurement tool was developed to assess both disorders: the International Trauma Questionnaire. The objectives of this study were (a) to conduct a French translation of the tool, (b) to confirm the factorial structure of the tool, (c) to verify its convergent and divergent validity, (d) and finally to ensure its temporal stability. Method: The ITQ was translated into French using a committee approach, bringing together experts and bilingual individuals with a dual French-English culture. It was then completed by 750 people residing in France and having been exposed to potentially traumatic events, recruited from the general population. Other measures were also completed (HADS, ITEM, PCL-5, WHO-5, DERS). Results: Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the French version of the ITQ had the same factor structure as the original version. The scale showed satisfactory convergent and divergent validity, as well as good stability over time. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the French version of the ITQ is a good measurement tool for assessing PTSD and C-PTSD according to the ICD-11 diagnostic criteria. HIGHLIGHTS This study provides the first translation and validation of the International Trauma Questionnaire in the French population. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the French version of the ITQ had the same factor structure as the original version. The French version of the ITQ showed good convergent and divergent validity, as well as good test-retest reliability.
