Description
Fatmanur Çimen and İsmail Seçer present a 2025 journal article testing a trauma questionnaire for children in Turkish culture. The tool screens for post-traumatic stress and its complex form under the ICD-11 rules. The sample held 204 children and teens, aged 7 to 17, who lived through the February 2023 earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş.
Factor analysis tested four models of the symptom structure. Only a first-order six-factor model fit acceptably, though it fit better than rivals with some flaws: closely tied subscales and odd item loadings known as Heywood cases. The authors offer support for the tool's use in Turkey, with a caution to read model results carefully.
