Serial title, monograph or event: | Child Psychiatry & Human Development | Abstract: | This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Child Post-Traumatic Cognitions Inventory (CPTCI) in a sample of Portuguese children and adolescents, following the exposition to a wildfre disaster. The sample included 533 children and adolescents living in regions exposed to the wildfre disaster (non-clinical sample: n=483; clinical sample: n=50). The short form of the instrument (CPTCI-SF) including two correlated factors (‘Sense of Disturbing and Permanent Change’ and ‘Sense of Being a Fragile Person in a Scary World’) showed good model ft and was invariant across gender and age-groups. Good internal consistency (>.70) was found, and higher CPTCI scores were associated with poorer adjustment indicators. The clinical sample presented signifcantly higher CPTCI scores than the non-clinical sample. These results contribute to the cross-cultural validation of the CPTCI and support the adequacy of its short form as a reliable and valid measure to be used with Portuguese children and adolescents. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/115248 | ISSN: | 0009-398X 1573-3327 |
