Factor structures of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and PTSD in a community sample of refugees from West Papua
The intention to include a category of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) in ICD-11 has renewed interest in this construct. Although growing evidence from high income countries supports the construct validity of CPTSD, little parallel research has been undertaken across cultures. We tested theoretically supported CPTSD structure (a one-factor, six-factor, one-factor higher-order, and two-factor higher order structure) in a community sample of West Papuan refugees living in a remote town, Kiunga, in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
