有人认为，创伤后应激与个人创伤记忆的性质有关。虽然这一假设得到了成年人的支持，但很少有研究在儿童和青少年中检验这一点。本文介绍了一种衡量儿童创伤记忆性质的指标——创伤记忆质量问卷（TMQQ）的开发和验证，该问卷可能会检验这一假设并具有临床用途。该衡量标准在两个样本中进行了标准化，一个是非诊所转诊的中学生横断面样本（n = 254），另一个是参与针对在袭击或道路交通事故后前往医院急症室就诊的儿童和青少年的前瞻性研究的样本（n = 106）。 TMQQ 具有良好的内部一致性、标准效度和结构效度，但重测信度仍有待建立。
It has been suggested that post-traumatic stress is related to the nature of an individual's trauma memories. While this hypothesis has received support in adults, few studies have examined this in children and adolescents. This article describes the development and validation of a measure of the nature of children's trauma memories, the Trauma Memory Quality Questionnaire (TMQQ), that might test this hypothesis and be of clinical use. The measure was standardised in two samples, a cross-sectional sample of non-clinic referred secondary school pupils (n = 254), and a sample participating in a prospective study of children and adolescents who had attended a hospital Accident and Emergency department following an assault or a road traffic accident (n = 106). The TMQQ was found to possess good internal consistency, criterion validity, and construct validity, but test-retest reliability has yet to be established.
