Prevalence of Complex PTSD in Trauma-Exposed Children-Adolescents and Related Factors

The aim of this study is to assess the psychiatric evaluation of children and adolescents exposed to trauma in the outpatient clinic and to determine the prevalence of PTSD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD) diagnoses. Additionally, it aims to compare the clinical characteristics of children exposed to trauma who do not receive a PTSD diagnosis, those diagnosed with PTSD, and those diagnosed with CPTSD, as well as to examine the trauma history of their parents and the severity of their anxiety and depression. Furthermore, since there is no existing scale to assess CPTSD in children in our country, the study also aims to translate the International Trauma Questionnaire - Child and Adolescent Version into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties.
