引入了儿科情绪困扰量表（PEDS），该量表旨在快速评估经验和理论文献中确定的行为，这些行为在经历创伤事件后在儿童中显着升高。21项父母报告评定量表包括17个一般行为项目和4个创伤特异性项目。对475名2 ~ 10奥尔兹儿童（创伤性事件暴露和非创伤性事件暴露）的17个项目进行因子分析，得出3个可靠的因子，分别为焦虑/退缩、恐惧和行为表现。因子分和总分具有良好的内部一致性，重测信度和评分者间信度均在可接受的水平。判别分析表明，PEDS可以区分创伤事件暴露和非暴露组，但母亲的教育应该是一个重要的考虑因素解释。未来的研究与不同的人群谁记录的创伤是必要的，以提高实用的完整的PEDS规模。
Introduced the Pediatric Emotional Distress Scale (PEDS), which was developed to quickly assess behaviors identified in Empirical and theoretical literature as significantly elevated in children after experiencing traumatic events. The 21-item parent-report rating scale includes 17 general behavior items and 4 trauma-specific items. Factor analyses on the 17 items, with 475 two- to ten-year-olds (traumatic event exposure and nontraumatic event exposure), yielded 3 reliable factors labeled Anxious/Withdrawn, Fearful, and Acting Out. Factor and total scores were shown to have good internal consistency, and both test-retest and interrater reliability were at acceptable levels. Discriminant analyses demonstrated the PEDS could distinguish traumatic event exposure and nonexposure groups although maternal education should be a significant consideration in interpretation. Future research with diverse populations who have documented trauma is needed to enhance the utility of the full PEDS scale.
