PTSD Symptom Scale – Self-Report Version (PSS-SR) is a 17-item self-reported questionnaire to assess symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. [1] Each of the 17 items describe PTSD symptoms which respondents rate in terms of their frequency or severity using a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all or only one time) to 3 (almost always or five or more times per week).
The original PSS consists of 14 items that are purported to form a unidimensional scale of global perceived stress. [1] Although scores on the 14-item PSS tend to exhibit good reliability estimates across the literature, four of the items tend to perform poorly when evaluated using exploratory factor analysis. [26]
Both criterion F and G must be met as well for a PTSD diagnosis. [10] To meet criteria for a symptom, a patient must meet criteria in both frequency and intensity score for each item.

The items assess panic frequency, distress during panic, panic-focused anticipatory anxiety , phobic avoidance of situations, phobic avoidance of physical sensations, impairment in work functioning, and impairment in social functioning.
Questions are phrased for use in an interview format, but the C-SSRS may be completed as a self-report measure if necessary. The scale identifies specific behaviors which may be indicative of an individual's intent to kill oneself. An individual exhibiting even a single behavior identified by the scale was 8 to 10 times more likely to die by ...
