本研究检验了极端压力障碍（SIDES）结构化访谈的跨文化结构等效性，SIDES是一种用于评估无特别说明的极端压力障碍（DESNOS）症状的工具。作为1997年至1999年期间在阿尔及利亚（652人）、埃塞俄比亚（1200人）和加沙（585人）的战争或大规模暴力幸存者中进行的流行病学调查的一部分，参与者完成了side。结果表明，不同样品间的SIDES因子结构不稳定；因此构念等效性没有显示出来。提出了一种多步骤的跨学科方法来提高精神病学概念的跨文化建构效度。这种方法适用于极端压力的普遍慢性后遗症，并适用于各种文化的特定文化症状。
This study examined the cross-cultural construct equivalence of the Structured Interview for Disorders of Extreme Stress (SIDES), an instrument designed to assess symptoms of Disorders of Extreme Stress Not Otherwise Specified (DESNOS). Participants completed the SIDES as a part of an epidemiological survey conducted between 1997 and 1999 among survivors of war or mass violence in Algeria (n = 652), Ethiopia (n = 1,200), and Gaza (n = 585). Findings indicated that the factor structure of the SIDES across samples was not stable; thus construct equivalence was not shown. A multistep interdisciplinary method is proposed to improve the cross-cultural construct validity of a psychiatric concept. This method accommodates universal chronic sequelae of extreme stress and accommodates culture-specific symptoms across a variety of cultures.
