Avoidance symptoms in PTSD often delay individuals from seeking professional assistance. Therefore, the PTSD Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders\u20105th Edition or DSM\u20105 (PCL\u20105) can evaluate PTSD conceptually and psychometrically instead of avoidance responses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>Accordingly, this research aimed to explore the psychometric features of the PCL\u20105 Persian version in the population of gastrointestinal cancer patients in Iran.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>As the instrument of the research, the Persian version of PCL\u20105 was conducted on 486 gastrointestinal cancer patients who referred to Baghban Clinic, the cancer research center of \u201cREDACTED\u201d University of Medical Sciences, and Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari from July 2021 to May 2022. The used questionnaire survey included two sections. The first part consisted of questions regarding participants' profiles, such as age, gender, and job status. In the second section, the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder item 20 was used to measure (PCL\u20105) Participants were asked to respond to each statement with a 5\u2010point range Likert scale from 0 to 4.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Exploratory factor analysis showed four\u2010factor structures for PCL\u20105, explaining 43.17% of the total variance. According to the mentioned analysis, each fit index verified the model fit. All internal consistency coefficients were also predicted to be acceptable reliability. It can be concluded from the data that highlighted good psychometric features for PCL\u20105, suggesting the effectiveness of this scale for the screening of PTSD in gastrointestinal cancer patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study indicates the effectiveness and usefulness of the Persian version of the PCL\u20105 scale for assessing post\u2010traumatic stress in the cases suffering from gastrointestinal cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cnr2.70331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,20]],"date-time":"2025-09-20T12:48:50Z","timestamp":1758372530000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Psychometric Properties of the Post\u2010Traumatic Stress Disorder Questionnaire (<scp>PCL<\/scp>\u20105) for Cancer Patients in Iran"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4284-7245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maryam","family":"Hasannezhad Reskati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Phd Educational Psychology, Research Ethics Committee, Imam Khomeini Hospital Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5570-3710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamid","family":"Sharif\u2010Nia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery Amol Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7655-8869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyed Hamzeh","family":"Hosseini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychosomatic Research Center Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2974-1876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hossein","family":"Azadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Rheumatology Division, Orthopedic Research Center Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Behnoush","family":"Yazdirad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Center, Non\u2010Communicable Diseases Institute Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0580-000X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reza","family":"Alizadeh\u2010Navaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastrointestinal Cancer Research Center Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6872-481X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Forouzan","family":"Elyasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexual and Reproductive Health Research Center, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Research Center, Addiction Institute Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences  Sari Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3332\/ecancer.2015.596"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049909112453640"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","volume-title":"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"APA","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-200011000-00018"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5812\/ijpbs.115663"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","first-page":"141","article-title":"Are We Missing PTSD in Our Patients With Cancer?
