Abstract

Objective: This study was aimed at testing the psychometric properties of the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) checklist for the Diagnostic Statistical Manual version 5 (DSM-5) (PCL-5) among the Lebanese population and at identifying the prevalence of PTSD.

Design: A cross-sectional survey of PCL-5 among 950 Lebanese, using the online survey platform by Google Form, was conducted. Snowball recruitment was used to identify participants for the survey.

Results: Face, content, construct, discriminant, and convergent validity had been accomplished through the survey. The reliability using Cronbach's alpha, composite, and average variance extracted was identified as superior. We also found that more than half of the participants (55.6%) scored 33 or above which is the cut-off score for a likely diagnosis of PTSD.

Conclusion: The current study provides further support for the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of PCL-5 among non-Western populations. This supports using the checklist in the screening of probable PTSD.

暴露于贝鲁特爆炸的黎巴嫩人口创伤后应激障碍检查表的心理测量特性：新冠肺炎大流行期间的跨部门研究。

目的：本研究旨在测试《诊断统计手册》第5版（DSM-5）（PCL-5）创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）检查表在黎巴嫩人群中的心理测量特性，并确定PTSD的患病率。设计：使用谷歌表格的在线调查平台，对950名黎巴嫩人进行了PCL-5的横断面调查。Snowball招募被用来确定调查的参与者。结果：调查完成了面孔、内容、结构、判别式和收敛有效性。使用Cronbachα、复合和平均方差提取的可靠性被确定为优越。我们还发现，超过一半的参与者（55.6%）的得分在33分或以上，这是可能诊断为创伤后应激障碍的临界得分。结论：本研究为阿拉伯版PCL-5在非西方人群中的有效性和可靠性提供了进一步的支持。这支持在筛查可能的创伤后应激障碍时使用检查表。
