Number Of Authors

The value of measuring changes in symptoms in a single patient has been discussed by a number of authors. (1, 3, 4.) The “self-controlled trial” (1) or the “multiple cross-over method”, i.e. the measurement of responses to repeated and systematic changes in treatment, appears to have advantages over the simple cross-over trial, but the method would be extremely time-consuming in group research with psychiatric patients if the ratings had to be carried out by research workers. The use of valid self-rating scales would make the multiple cross-over method feasible in drug trials with groups of psychiatric patients.

The Impact

Childbirth has been identified as a possible traumatic experience, leading to traumatic stress responses and even to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) in a group of women who recently gave birth (N = 435). In addition, a comparison was made between the original IES and the IES-R. The scale showed high internal consistency (α = 0.88). Using confirmatory factor analysis no support was found for a three-factor structure of an intrusion, an avoidance, and a hyperarousal factor. Goodness of fit was only reasonable, even after fitting one intrusion item on the hyperarousal scale. The IES-R correlated significantly with scores on depression and anxiety self-rating scales, as well as with scores on a self-rating scale of posttraumatic stress disorder. Although the IES-R can be used for studying posttraumatic stress reactions in women who recently gave birth, the original IES proved to be a better instrument compared to the IES-R. It is concluded that adding the hyperarousal scale to the IES-R did not make the scale stronger.
