Validation of the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire and Peritraumatic Distress Inventory in school-aged Victims of Road Traffic Accidents

Abstract

The children versions of the PDI and PDEQ are reliable and valid in children.

Periloss Dissociation, Symptom Severity, and Treatment Response in Complicated Grief

“…The high internal consistency of the PLD-adapted PDEQ fell within the range of those reported after trauma exposure [16][17][18] and was also in line with recent data reported after a loss. [8] In our study, levels of PLD in individuals with CG (mean PDEQ scores = 31.9) were greater than levels of peritraumatic dissociation reported in trauma-exposed individuals (e.g.…”

Peritraumatic distress: A review and synthesis of 15 years of research

“…Following this study, the PDI was increasingly utilized in research and clinical contexts. It was further validated for use in other languages, specifically French (Jehel, Brunet, Paterniti, & Guelfi, ) and Japanese (Nishi et al., ) as well as in a specific population (i.e., children; Bui et al., ). In addition, a Creole translation of the PDI was found to be internally consistent with a Cronbach's alpha of .82 (Derivois, Cénat, Joseph, Karray, & Chahraoui, ).…”

Factor analysis and validity of the Polish version of the Peritraumatic Distress Inventory in mothers of seriously ill children

“…Validation and reliability of the PDI were originally studied in a volunteer group of policemen and compared to the general population. It is a self‐report tool, useful in the early selection of people at risk of PTSD, validated in several languages (Bui et al., ; Jehel, Brunet, Paterniti, & Guelfi, ; Kianpoor et al., ; Nishi et al., ; Rybojad & Aftyka, ). According to our knowledge resulting from searches in the literature, this study is the first official attempt to validate PDI in the group of mothers of seriously ill children.…”

“…Some researches disagreed with this statement. For example,Boden, Fergusson, Horwood, & Mulder (2015) who examined the group of victims of the earthquake in New Zealand believe that attention should be paid to the subjective reactions of the assessed persons.The usefulness of the tool is confirmed by its validation in several languages and different populations experiencing stress and potentially suffering from PTSD(Bahari, Malek, Japil, Madlan, & Adela Mutang, 2017;Bui et al,2011;Jehel et al, 2005;Kianpoor et al, 2016;Nishi et al, 2009). In Poland, cultural adaptation and PDI validation were performed in a group of employees of the emergency medical system.…”
