ABSTRACT

The Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC) is a 90-item caregiver-report measure of childhood traumatic stress and abuse-related experiences in children, ages three to twelve years old.

Purpose

The objective of this review is to examine the current empirical evidence (n = 22) regarding the psychometric properties of the TSCYC.

Method

A variety of study designs were reviewed for psychometric evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the TSCYC.

Results

The psychometric evidence for the TSCYC indicates it is a reliable scale. However, evidence of validity is moderate and focuses on older children.

Discussion

Clinicians may utilize the TSCYC to support a PTSD diagnosis in children. Further psychometric exploration would strengthen the body of evidence for younger children (ages 3–5) who have had traumatic experiences.

摘要

幼儿创伤症状检查表 (TSCYC) 是一份包含 90 项护理人员报告的衡量标准，用于衡量 3 至 12 岁儿童的童年创伤压力和虐待相关经历。

目的

本次审查的目的是检查有关 TSCYC 的心理测量特性的当前经验证据 ( n = 22)。

方法

对支持 TSCYC 可靠性和有效性的心理测量学证据进行了各种研究设计的审查。

结果

TSCYC 的心理测量学证据表明它是一个可靠的量表。然而，有效性的证据是适度的，并且主要针对年龄较大的儿童。

讨论

临床医生可以利用 TSCYC 来支持儿童的 PTSD 诊断。进一步的心理测量学探索将加强有创伤经历的年幼儿童（3-5 岁）的证据。
