The Impact of Event Scale–Revised (IES-R) is a widely used self-report questionnaire used to assess symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although the IES-R has been translated and validated in multiple languages, no previous version has employed the Arabic dialect commonly spoken in Syria. The present work aimed to assess the psychometric properties of a Syrian Arabic version of the IES-R. Syrian citizens (N = 288) living in refugee camps in Turkey were administered the Syrian Arabic IES-R as part of a humanitarian aid project focused on providing psychological assistance. The data were analyzed with respect to 10 previously published factor solutions. We found that the best-fitting model was a four-factor structure that included factors involving Avoidance–Numbing, Intrusion, Hyperarousal, and Sleep Disturbance. The model showed strong measurement invariance between male and female subsamples, allowing for meaningful comparisons of the factor means. Overall, the present findings support the validity of a new version of the IES-R, which can be used by both researchers and clinicians responding to the urgent need for psychological care for Syrian refugees fleeing war-related violence.

叙利亚阿拉伯语版本的事件影响量表的心理测量特性——在叙利亚难民危机的背景下修订

事件影响量表修订版 (IES-R) 是一种广泛使用的自我报告问卷,用于评估创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 的症状。尽管 IES-R 已被翻译成多种语言并经过验证,但以前的版本都没有使用叙利亚常用的阿拉伯方言。目前的工作旨在评估 IES-R 的叙利亚阿拉伯语版本的心理测量特性。叙利亚公民 ( N= 288) 居住在土耳其难民营中的叙利亚阿拉伯语 IES-R 作为专注于提供心理援助的人道主义援助项目的一部分。这些数据是根据 10 个先前发布的因子解决方案进行分析的。我们发现最适合的模型是一个四因素结构,其中包括涉及回避——麻木、侵入、过度觉醒和睡眠障碍的因素。该模型显示男性和女性子样本之间具有很强的测量不变性,允许对因子均值进行有意义的比较。总体而言,目前的研究结果支持新版本 IES-R 的有效性,研究人员和临床医生都可以使用该版本来应对逃离战争相关暴力的叙利亚难民的心理护理的迫切需求。
