These include focusing on the cognitive processing of the trauma (the “Trauma Focus” subscale) and overcoming the trauma (the “Forward Focus” subscale). The key advantages of the PACT scale include an emphasis on perceived self-competence, the absence of the “flexibility/rigidity” dichotomy, and moderate correlations with distress that confirm discriminative validity.</p> <p><bold>AIM: </bold>To adapt the PACT scale for the Russian population and conduct a psychometric assessment of its Russian-language version.</p> <p><bold>METHODS:</bold> The adaptation procedure included direct and reverse translations of the PACT scale and expert assessment of their quality. To validate the adapted version of the PACT questionnaire, a survey was conducted involving adults who had experienced at least one potentially traumatic event (with assessment according to the Life Events Checklist for DSM-5). The sample was made up of civilians and employees of emergency services (firemen, rescue workers, physicians, psychologists). The psychometric assessment included a check of the factor structure, assessment of sex, age, occupation, and post-traumatic status invariance, as well as assessment of internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The International Trauma Questionnaire and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 were used to test convergent validity.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> A psychometric assessment of the adapted version of the PACT scale was conducted with 1,054 respondents (56% male) with a mean age of 37.2 (standard deviation 9.54) years. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor structure of the scale, complete invariance by age and partial invariance by sex, occupation, and post-traumatic status. The reliability coefficients (Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω) showed good values for the “Trauma Focus” subscale (ω=0.810, α=0.806) and the “Forward Focus” subscale (ω=0.896, α=0.893). The test-retest reliability was partially confirmed. The convergent validity of the adapted version of the PACT scale was confirmed: symptoms of distress and post-traumatic stress were negatively correlated with the score on the “Forward Focus” subscale and positively correlated with the “Trauma Focus” score.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> The Russian-language version of the PACT scale is valid, reliable, and can be used to assess the perceived ability to cope with trauma for research or counseling purposes.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>ВВЕДЕНИЕ:</bold> «Шкала воспринимаемой способности справиться с травмой» (The Perceived Ability to Cope with Trauma Scale, PACT) разработана для оценки представлений о собственной способности использовать различные стратегии совладания при столкновении с потенциально травмирующими событиями. К ним относятся концентрация на когнитивной обработке травмы (субшкала «Фокус на травме») и преодоление травмы (субшкала «Фокус на будущем»). Шкала PACT обладает такими ключевыми преимуществами, как акцент на воспринимаемой субъективной компетентности, отсутствие дихотомии «гибкость — ригидность», умеренные корреляции с дистрессом, подтверждающие дискриминативную валидность.</p> <p><bold>ЦЕЛЬ:</bold> Адаптировать для российской популяции шкалу PACT и провести психометрическую оценку ее русскоязычной версии.</p> <p><bold>МЕТОДЫ: </bold>Процедура адаптации предполагала прямой и обратный переводы шкалы PACT и экспертную оценку их качества. С целью валидации адаптированной версии опросника PACT проведено исследование с участием взрослых лиц с опытом как минимум одного потенциально травмирующего события (оценка по чек-листу жизненных событий LEC-5). Выборку составили гражданские лица и сотрудники служб экстренного реагирования (пожарные, спасатели, врачи, психологи). Психометрическая оценка включала проверку факторной структуры, оценку инвариантности по полу, возрасту, профессиональной принадлежности и посттравматическому статусу, а также оценку внутренней согласованности и тест-ретестовой надежности. Для проверки конвергентной валидности использовались «Международный опросник травмы» (ITQ) и «Шкала депрессии, тревоги и стресса — 21» (DASS-21).</p> <p><bold>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ:</bold> Психометрическая оценка адаптированной версии шкалы PACT проведена при участии 1054 респондентов (56% мужчины), средний возраст — 37,2 (стандартное отклонение 9,54) года. Конфирматорный факторный анализ подтвердил двухфакторную структуру шкалы, полную инвариантность по возрасту и частичную по полу, профессиональной деятельности и посттравматическому статусу. Коэффициенты надежности α Кронбаха и ω Макдоналда показали хорошие значения для субшкалы «Фокус на травме» (ω=0,810, α=0,806) и субшкала «Фокус на будущем» (ω=0,896, α=0,893). Тест-ретестовая надежность подтвердилась частично. Подтверждена конвергентная валидность адаптированной версии шкалы PACT: установлена отрицательная корреляция оценки по субшкале «Фокус на будущем» и положительная — по субшкале «Фокус на травме» с симптомами дистресса и посттравматического стресса.</p> <p><bold>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ:</bold> Русскоязычная версия шкалы PACT валидна, надежна и может использоваться для оценки воспринимаемой способности справиться с травмой в исследовательских или консультативных целях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>traumatic stress</kwd><kwd>post-traumatic stress disorder</kwd><kwd>forward focus</kwd><kwd>trauma focus</kwd><kwd>flexibility</kwd><kwd>psychometric assessment</kwd><kwd>reliability</kwd><kwd>validity</kwd><kwd>factor structure</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>травматический стресс</kwd><kwd>посттравматическое стрессовое расстройство</kwd><kwd>фокус на будущем</kwd><kwd>фокус на травме</kwd><kwd>гибкость</kwd><kwd>психометрическая оценка</kwd><kwd>надежность</kwd><kwd>валидность</kwd><kwd>факторная структура</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Russian Science Foundation</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Российский научный фонд</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>25-18-00394</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bryant RA, O’Donnell ML, Creamer M, et al.
