“…[32] Symptom frequency and intensity were used to determine PTSD status using the liberal rule (frequency ≥1, intensity ≥2) proposed by Weathers et al [33] The intensity of combat-related trauma was evaluated using the Combat Exposure Scale (CES), [34] which is a widely used measure of combat exposure among war veterans. The responses to the seven CES questions were used to divide veterans into six categories of combat exposure: no combat (0), light (1-8), light-moderate (9-16), moderate (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), moderate-heavy (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32), and heavy (33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41). The Korean version of the CES was translated and validated by our research group (Cronbach's α = .85).…”

“…The Korean version of the CES was translated and validated by our research group (Cronbach's α = .85). [35] Alcohol-related problems were assessed by self-reporting of the amount and frequency of alcohol consumption per week and by responses to the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). [36] The AUDIT was designed by the World Health Organization to identify adults with harmful patterns of alcohol consumption.…”

“…Criterion validity was calculated with the sample of 145 Korean veterans who were allocated in two groups: PTSD and non-PTSD. The mean difference on combat exposure between the PTSD group (M = 20.4, SD = 9) and the non-PTSD group (M = 12, SD = 8.6) was significant (p , .001; Kim et al, 2013). Relationship between the Korean version of the CES was significant with a clinician administered measure of PTSD (r = .52, p , .001) and a Korean version of the life event checklist (r = .31, p , .001).…”

Objective: The Combat Exposure Scale (CES) is one of the most used self-report instruments to assess various combat situations experienced by military personnel. This article presents a comprehensive translation and cultural adaptation of the CES to Spanish and its psychometric properties. Method: Fifty-five (n = 55) U.S. military Spanish-speaking Latino veterans diagnosed with combat-related PTSD were recruited from 2018 to 2020 to participate in this cross-sectional preliminary data study at the VA Caribbean Health Care System. The translation and cultural adaptation followed the recommendations by Chavez & Canino (2005). Statistical analysis included principal component factor analysis, internal consistency analysis, and content validity analysis. It included two different expert bilingual committees composed of veterans with combat experience and university professors at a doctoral level. Results: The CES-S consists of seven items. The principal component factor analysis resulted in one factor and the content validity of =1. CES-S has an internal consistency of a=.84. Conclusion: The CES-S is suitable for its use with Spanish-speaking Latino veteran samples. Clinical Impact StatementThis study provides a translated and culturally adapted Spanish version of the Combat Exposure Scale, which will help mental health providers and researchers assess combat-related experiences in Spanish-speaking veterans. The scale will also inform planning and service provision.

“…Each item measured exposure to a variety of combat-related situations. Accordingly, Kim et al [ 20 ] translated the combat exposure scale into Korean, which is widely used in combat-related PTSD research and has been recognized for its high validity and reliability. After verifying its validity and reliability, we developed a Korean version of the CES that can be used to evaluate the intensity of combat-related trauma in clinical practice [ 20 ].…”

Objective To identify the factors affecting anger in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients who underwent Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2).Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent CAPS and MMPI-2 at Veteran Health Service Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Based on the CAPS score, the patients were divided into the PTSD group (n=46) and the trauma exposed without PTSD group (n=29). After checking the correlation between anger, CAPS, and MMPI-2 scales, logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for clinically relevant symptoms.Results The PTSD group showed significant differences in schizophrenia-related symptoms, ideas of persecution, aggressiveness, psychoticism, and anger scales compared to the trauma-exposed without PTSD group. There was a significant correlation between anger, CAPS, and MMPI-2 except masculinity/femininity, disconstraint, and MacAndrew Alcoholism-Revised. In particular, anger has been shown to have a substantial connection with paranoia, schizophrenia-related symptoms, ideas of persecution, aberrant experiences, and psychoticism. Multiple regression analysis identified that the only significant risk factor for anger was the negative emotionality/neuroticism scale (odds ratio=1.152, p<0.001).Conclusion The PTSD group had increased anger compared to the trauma-exposed without PTSD group, and that negative emotions may be a risk factor for PTSD.
