Introduction The Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) is a brief transdiagnostic screener that covers broad range of trauma-related disorders as well risk factors known to influence the course symptoms. Methods We analyzed data from African war refugees in Australia ( n = 70), including GPS, Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Disorders (SCID-5), Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), and Brief Resilience (BRS). Results Using Youden’s J Index examine clinical validity GPS subscales measuring PTSD, dissociation, depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), we found subscale score 3 or higher, depression dissociation 1 was optimally efficient detecting probable diagnosis (Youden’s 0.76, 0.72, 0.90, respectively) with high sensitivity specificity. were unable test GAD due low occurrence. resilience item not related total r 0.02), indicating convergent resilience. Risk factors, current stressors childhood trauma history, more severe symptom scores, while lack resilience, social support, history mental illness not. Conclusion conclude may be useful screening tool dissociative subtype refugees.

To mark 15 years of the European Journal Psychotraumatology, editors reviewed past 15-year research on trauma exposure and its consequences, as well developments in (early) psychological, pharmacological complementary interventions. In all sections this paper, we provide perspectives sex/gender aspects, life course trends, cross-cultural/global systemic societal contexts. Globally, majority people experience stressful events that may be characterized traumatic. However, definitions what is traumatic are not necessarily straightforward or universal. Traumatic have a wide range transdiagnostic mental physical health limited to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research genetic, molecular, neurobiological influences show promise for further understanding underlying risk resilience trauma-related consequences. Symptom presentation, prevalence, course, response experiences, differ depending individuals' age developmental phase, sex/gender, sociocultural environmental contexts, socio-political forces. Early interventions potential prevent acute reactions from escalating PTSD diagnosis whether delivered golden hours weeks after trauma. prevention still scarce compared treatment where several evidence-based complementary/ integrative exist, novel forms delivery become available. Here, focus how best address negative outcomes following trauma, serve individuals across spectrum, including very young old, include considerations ethnicity, culture diverse beyond Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) countries. We conclude with providing directions future aimed at improving well-being impacted by around world. The EJPT webinar provides 90-minute summary paper can downloaded here [http://bit.ly/4jdtx6k].

Background: Although trauma exposure is universally prevalent, the ways in which individuals respond to potentially traumatic events vary. Between-country differences have been identified as affecting development and manifestation of transdiagnostic psychological symptoms, but it remains unclear how stress trauma-related symptoms risk patterns differ based on geographic region.

This study aims adapt validate a novel brief transdiagnostic screener, the Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS), Indonesian undergraduate students. An online survey was administered among students (N = 322). Exploratory factor analysis, reliability analyses, clinical validity correlational analyses were performed evaluate construct validity, reliability, convergent-divergent GPS. Hierarchical multiple regression conducted assess relationship between risk factors four categories symptom severity social/work functioning measured using Analysis Covariance. analysis yielded single-factor solution. GPS demonstrated good internal consistency, test-retest correlation, absolute agreement, indicating reliability. also had an acceptable area under curve, sensitivity, specificity diagnosis Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex-PTSD (CPTSD), depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). We established evidence convergent divergent (low psychological resilience, other stressful events, history mental illness, low social support) contributed predicting symptoms after controlling gender, age, employment status, faculty background.
