Abstract

In this study, the aim was to adapt the Child and Adolescent Trauma Screening-2 (CATS-2) to Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. The study also examined how posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, depression, and anxiety are associated with each other. The results showed that the Turkish CATS-2 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing trauma-related symptoms in children and adolescents. Network analysis revealed that emotion regulation occupies a central position in the symptom network and has strong connections with re-experiencing and hyperarousal symptoms. Further analysis indicated that anxiety and relational difficulties are strongly connected to other symptoms within the network. Overall, the findings suggest that emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety, and relational problems are important aspects of trauma-related symptom patterns in children and adolescents. The Turkish CATS-2 can be used to help understand these symptom patterns, supporting research and practice in evaluating trauma responses in youth.

土耳其版儿童和青少年创伤筛查-2 （CATS-2）的心理测量特性及其与创伤后应激、抑郁和焦虑症状的关联

在这项研究中，目的是使儿童和青少年创伤筛查-2 （CATS-2）适应土耳其，并评估其心理测量特性。该研究还调查了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状、抑郁和焦虑之间的关系。结果表明，土耳其cat -2是评估儿童和青少年创伤相关症状的有效和可靠的工具。网络分析表明，情绪调节在症状网络中占据中心位置，并与再体验和高唤醒症状有很强的联系。进一步的分析表明，焦虑和关系困难与网络中的其他症状密切相关。总的来说，研究结果表明情绪调节困难、焦虑和关系问题是儿童和青少年创伤相关症状模式的重要方面。土耳其cat -2可用于帮助理解这些症状模式，支持评估青少年创伤反应的研究和实践。
