在不同文化背景的人群中评估心理痛苦的方法还没有确定下来。这项研究旨在检验波斯尼亚难民样本中临床医生使用的创伤后应激障碍量表(CAPS；D.D.Blake，F.W.Weather，L.M.Nagy，D.Kaloupek，G.Klaumzer，D.Charney等，1995)的波斯尼亚翻译的心理测量学特性。采用CAPS-波斯尼亚语翻译量表对115名寻求帮助的波黑难民进行访谈，以检验其内部一致性和趋同效度，并对其因素结构进行评估。这项研究证明了创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的两因素模型的最佳拟合；作者还发现，信度高，系数α为0.92，与测量抑郁、焦虑和心理社会功能水平的工具具有很强的收敛效度。对未来跨文化人群创伤后应激障碍的评估方向进行了讨论。
Methods for assessing psychological distress in culturally diverse populations are not firmly established. This study was designed to examine the psychometric properties of the Bosnian translation of the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS; D. D. Blake, F. W. Weathers, L. M. Nagy, D. Kaloupek, G. Klauminzer, D. Charney, et al., 1995) in a Bosnian refugee sample. The authors interviewed 115 help-seeking Bosnian refugees with the CAPS-Bosnian translation to examine its internal consistency and convergent validity, and to provide an assessment of its factor structure. This study demonstrated optimal fit with a 2-factor model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); the authors also found high reliability with a coefficient alpha of 0.92 and strong convergent validity with instruments measuring depression, anxiety, and levels of psychosocial functioning. Future directions for the assessment of PTSD in cross-cultural populations are discussed.
