재난 후 소아청소년 정신적 외상의 평가 도구들

Abstract

Psychological trauma that can influence development of children and adolescents is common. Evaluation of the trauma is important for treatment and predicting prognosis for children and adolescents. There are many ways to evaluate the effect of psychological trauma, but few articles reviewing assessment tools used in Korea have been reported. Therefore we reviewed various checklists, structure and semi-structure interviews for choosing well and useful usage of these resources in the future. We would suggest usage of the Korean Version of Impact of Event Scale-Revised and Korean Version of the Children’s Response to Traumatic Events Scale-Revised as a self-report. Korean Version of Clinician Administered posttraumatic stress disorder scale for Children and Adolescents will also be useful for interview of trauma in Korean children and adolescents. Other various tools that have been used in foreign countries reflecting Korean culture and society will need to be standardized.
