The high incidence of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) in Indonesia warrants early identification those with probable trauma-related disorders order to tailor prevention and intervention for symptoms. 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. Additionally, comparison participants from mild scores, severe moderate category reported impaired lowered functioning. current findings indicate that is valid reliable trauma screener first comprehensive validation calls more research Lower-middle Income Countries (LMICs) as way towards
