    (MDPI, 2017) Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Sánchez Meca, Julio; López Soler, Concepción; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    This correlational cross-sectional study was designed to investigate whether the intimate partner violence (IPV) suffered by mothers (physical and psychological maltreatment), child eyewitness of psychological and physical maltreatment suffered by the mother, the neglect suffered by children, and the maltreatment (physical and psychological) directly suffered by children are statistically associated to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms exhibited by the child. In addition, the prevalence of child PTSD wasestimated, as well as the concordance between the PTSD symptoms assessed by the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for child PTSD. The sample consisted of 152 Spanish children aged 8 to 17 and their mothers, who were recruited from Centers of Specialized Assistance for Women Victims of IPV. PTSD prevalence was 20.4%. The results of a canonical correlation analysis showed that the two types of maltreatment with the largest contribution to the canonical variable were physical maltreatment directly suffered by the child, and child eyewitness of physical maltreatment suffered by the mother. The potential developmental pathway of PTSD when both children and mothers suffer severe maltreatment needs to be examined, and this will contribute to the choice of the most effective type of specialized intervention.

    Post-traumatic stress disorder in abused Spanish children
    (Universidad Católica de Uruguay, 2019-10-07) Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; López Soler, Concepción; López García, Juan José; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) acorde a los criterios DSM-IV-TR en niños españoles expuestos a abuso crónico, y establecer las diferencias en TEPT entre niños tutelados y expuestos a violencia de pareja contra la mujer. Método: 211 menores (8-17 años) (Grupo abusado; EG=102, Grupo control; CG=109). Resultados: La prevalencia de TEPT fue 1.8% en grupo control y 16.7% en niños abusados. La prevalencia de TEPT es significativamente más alta en EG que en CG. Entre los niños no hubo diferencias significativas entre EG y CG, y en las niñas fue significativamente más alta en EG que en CG. Conclusión: los niños expuestos a violencia de pareja tienen la misma prevalencia de TEPT que los niños víctimas directas de abuso y es mucho mayor que la encontrada en población general. Es necesaria una mayor coordinación entre los servicios judicial, social y sanitario para proteger la infancia.

    Post-traumatic stress disorder in abused Spanish children
    (Universidad Católica de Uruguay, 2019) Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; López Soler, Concepción; López García, Juan José; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) according to DSM-IV-TR criteria in Spanish children exposed to chronic abuse, and to establish the differences in PTSD between children in care and those exposed to intimate partner violence. Method: A total of 211 children (8-17 years old) (Abuse Group; EG=102, Control Group; CG=109). Results: The prevalence of PTSD was 1.8% in the control group and 16.7% in abuse children. The PTSD prevalence is significantly higher in EG than in CG. Among boys there was no significant differences between EG and CG, and in girls was significantly higher in EG than CG. Conclusion: Children exposed to intimate partner violence have the same PTSD prevalence as direct victims of abuse and it is far higher comparing with general population. A greater coordination among judicial, social and health services is necessary with the aim of protecting children.

    Posttraumatic stress in Nepalese and Spanish children: a comparative study
    (Universidad Autónoma de Chile, 2020-12-01) Checa, Silvia; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; Castro Sáez, Maravillas; López Soler, Concepción; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    La exposición a eventos potencialmente traumáticos en Nepal constituye el punto de partida en la evaluación de la sintomatología asociada entre los menores nepalíes, especialmente aquellos en situación de orfandad. Conocer la prevalencia del Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) en función de la tutela, y establecer comparaciones con población occidental como la española, permitiría delimitar las implicaciones intrafamiliares y socioculturales en el trauma infantojuvenil, valorando a su vez la conveniencia de sensibilizar los criterios diagnósticos. Con una muestra de 88 participantes con edades entre los 11 y los 14 años empleamos la Child Posttraumatic Symptom Scale (CPSS), aplicando tanto criterios DSM-5 generales como criterios alternativos adaptados a la infancia. Los resultados mostraron una mayor prevalencia de TEPT en población general nepalí (46.7%) con respecto a la muestra de tutelados (11.1%), reduciéndose significativamente en el grupo de menores españoles (6.1%), según criterios DSM-5 generales. Al utilizar criterios alternativos, observamos un aumento en la prevalencia, alcanzando el 73.3%, 22.2% y 14.3% respectivamente. Estos datos permitieron valorar los factores de protección en el orfanato frente al entorno intrafamiliar del grupo control, así como apreciar las variables socioculturales en ambos países, apoyando la mayor sensibilidad de criterios alternativos en el diagnóstico de TEPT infantojuvenil.

    The child PTSD symptom scale in abused children: criteria for diagnosis
    (Hilaris, 2018-02-10) Espinosa, R.; López Soler, Concepción; Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; López, J. A.; Cervera, I.; Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    By analyzing the psychometric properties of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) this study aims to provide data for improving the diagnostic criteria of PTSD in childhood and adolescence. The sample consists of 221 children aged between 8 and 17, who have suffered chronic intrafamily abuse. The factor structure, reliability and concurrent and discriminant validity of the CPSS scale have been analyzed. The exploratory factor analysis supported a single factor in contrast to the three and four factor structure proposed in DSM-IV and DSM-5. Internal consistency was high (alpha=0.884), and concurrent and discriminant validity tests were also significant.

    Trastorno de estrés postraumático en la infancia y la adolescencia: cuestiones sobre diagnóstico y evaluación
    (Asociación Española de Psicología Clínica y Psicopatología, 2020) Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; López Soler, Concepción; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    El estudio tuvo por objetivo comparar criterios DSM-IV, DSM-5 y criterios alternativos de TEPT, en tres muestras independientes con la finalidad de analizar la idoneidad de estos. La muestra se configuró con 361 menores entre los 8 y 18 años (122 muestra comunitaria; 86 menores habían sufrido maltrato intrafamiliar crónico y 153 menores expuestos a violencia de género). De la totalidad de la muestra el 52.9% (n = 191) eran chicas y el 47.1% (n = 170) chicos. Se administró la escala CPSS (Child PTSD Symptom Scale). Los resultados evidenciaron una mejor valoración diagnóstica del TEPT utilizando los criterios alternativos en las diferentes edades y en los diferentes grupos muestrales. Parece necesario una revisión exhaustiva de los criterios diagnósticos TEPT actuales en la etapa de la infancia y la adolescencia.

    Trastorno por estrés postraumático en infancia y adolescencia: cuestiones sobre diagnóstico y evaluación
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Fernández Fernández, María Visitación; Martínez Pérez, Antonia María; Castro Sáez, Maravillas; Alcántara López, María Vicenta; López Soler, Concepción; Psicología Evolutiva y de la Educación; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Psicología y Logopedia
    The aim of the study was to compare DSM-IV, DSM-5 and alternative criteria for PTSD, in three independent samples, with the purpose of analizing their suitability. The sample was configured with 361 minors with ages between 8 and 18 years old, (122 community sample, 86 minors that have suffered cronic family violence and 153 minores exposed to intimate partner violence). From the entire sample, the 52.9% (n = 191) were girls and 47.1% (n = 170) were boys. The CPPS (Child PTSD Symptom Scale) was administred. The results showed a better PTSD diagnostic valoration using alternative criteria at the different ages and sample groups. It seems necessary an exhaustive revision of current PTSD diagnostic criteria for childhood and adolescence stage.
