Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hospitalization may represent a stressor that can lead to Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). METHODS: Translation of the UK-PTSS-14, conducted in accordance with ISPOR principles and validation with the PDS (86 patients). RESULTS: The ROC analysis showed that the German version of PTSS-14 is a valid instrument with high sensitivity (82%) and specificity (92%) with the optimum cut-off point at 40 points. The translation process was authorized by the author of the UK-PTSS-14. CONCLUSION: The validated German version of PTSS-14 is now ready for use as an efficient and reliable screening-tool for PTSD in a clinical setting.
