ABSTRACT
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently associated with neuropsychiatric impairments such as symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can be screened using self-report instruments the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). The current study aims to inspect factorial validity and cross-linguistic equivalence PCL-5 in individuals after TBI differential severity. Data six language groups (n ≥ 200; Dutch, English, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish) were extracted from CENTER-TBI database. Factorial PTSD was evaluated confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), compared between four concurrent structural models. A multi-group CFA approach utilized investigate measurement invariance (MI) across languages. All models showed satisfactory goodness-of-fit small between-model variation. original model provided solid evidence MI groups. underlines clinical conceptualization demonstrates comparability symptom scores versions TBI. Future studies should apply methods other sociodemographic (e.g., age, gender) injury-related severity) characteristics improve monitoring care suffering
