Abstract

Objective: The Latinx population in the United States underutilizes mental health services, instead turning to primary care providers for mental health concerns. Therefore, primary care settings may be ideal for assessing and treating trauma. However, culturally adapted and validated Spanish-language screeners for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are still needed for this setting. The present study translated and validated the Primary Care PTSD Screen for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (PC-PTSD-5), from English into Spanish for Mexican-origin adults living in the United States.

Method: The PC-PTSD-5 was translated according to gold-standard guidelines from the International Test Commission and the cultural equivalence model. For translation validation, 173 Spanish-speaking participants completed a survey that included the Spanish PC-PTSD-5; the PTSD Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition; and the Brief Acculturation Scale for Hispanics. For diagnostic accuracy assessment, 34 participants completed the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, and the results were analyzed with a receiving operating characteristic curve.

Results: The Spanish PC-PTSD-5 showed internal consistency of α = .75. The area under the curve was .885 (95% CI [0.74, 1.0]). A cutoff score of 2 optimized sensitivity and specificity (sensitivity = .83, specificity = .86, correctly classified = .85). This score also demonstrated good quality of index for sensitivity (κ₁ = .73), specificity (κ₀ = .64), and efficiency (κ.₅ = .68; SE = 0.13; 95% CI [0.43, 0.94]).

西班牙语翻译和验证初级保健创伤后应激障碍筛查精神障碍诊断和统计手册，第五版（PC-PTSD-5）为墨西哥裔成人。

目的：美国的拉丁裔人口没有充分利用精神卫生服务，而是转向初级保健提供者寻求精神卫生问题。因此，初级保健机构可能是评估和治疗创伤的理想场所。然而，在这种情况下，仍然需要适应文化并经过验证的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）西班牙语筛查器。本研究针对生活在美国的墨西哥裔成年人，将《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（PC-PTSD-5）的初级保健PTSD筛查从英语翻译成西班牙语并进行了验证。方法：根据国际考试委员会的金标准指南和文化对等模型对PC-PTSD-5进行翻译。为了验证翻译，173名讲西班牙语的参与者完成了一项调查，其中包括西班牙语PC-PTSD-5；《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版PTSD核对表；以及西班牙裔的简要文化适应量表。在诊断准确性评估方面，34名参与者完成了《精神障碍诊断与统计手册第五版临床应用PTSD量表》，并使用接受工作特征曲线对结果进行分析。结果：西班牙PC-PTSD-5具有α = 0.75的内部一致性。曲线下的面积是。885 （95% ci[0.74, 1.0]）。敏感度和特异度的临界值为2分（灵敏度= 0.83，特异度= 0.86，正确分类= 0.85）。该评分在敏感性（κ₁= .73）、特异性（κ₀= .64）和效率（κ 0 = .64）指标上也表现出良好的质量。₅= .68；Se = 0.13；95% ci[0.43, 0.94])。结论：西班牙语PC-PTSD-5适用于墨西哥裔西班牙语患者。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2026 APA，版权所有）。
