Abstract

The posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (PCL-5; Weathers et al., 2013) is a well-validated self-report instrument intended to assess provisional diagnostic status and symptom severity of PTSD. With the recent release of the Department of Veterans Affairs measurement-based care initiative, the PCL-5 is now required to be used by VA-based PTSD Specialty Clinics to track and monitor patient progress in treatment. With the rise of telehealth modalities in response to the COVID pandemic, clinicians have turned to remote, asynchronous assessment (i.e., assessments completed without the provider present through remote platforms) as a means to provide best care to virtual patients and reduce time burden on providers. We review the psychometric properties of the PCL-5 along with relevant criticisms of the measure to provide recommendations for its optimal use through remote, asynchronous means. We also explore considerations for using remote, asynchronous assessment to assist with measurement-based care more broadly. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

使用PCL-5进行异步评估:实践考虑和建议。

《精神障碍诊断与统计手册-5》创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)检查表;Weathers et al.， 2013)是一种经过良好验证的自我报告工具，旨在评估PTSD的临时诊断状态和症状严重程度。随着退伍军人事务部最近发布的基于测量的护理计划，PCL-5现在被要求由弗吉尼亚州的创伤后应激障碍专科诊所使用，以跟踪和监测患者的治疗进展。随着应对COVID大流行的远程医疗模式的兴起，临床医生已转向远程异步评估(即通过远程平台在提供者不在场的情况下完成评估)，作为向虚拟患者提供最佳护理并减少提供者时间负担的一种手段。我们回顾了PCL-5的心理测量特性以及对该措施的相关批评，以通过远程、异步手段为其最佳使用提供建议。我们还探讨了使用远程、异步评估来更广泛地协助基于测量的护理的考虑。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
