This may worsen patients\u2019 health and negatively impact their overall treatment journey and well\u2010being. However, this area remains understudied in Algeria. Therefore, there is a need to understand the levels of PTSD symptoms and the associated factors among Algerian patients. To ensure accurate assessment and diagnosis, a validation study was conducted\u00a0to confirm that the PTSD measurement instrument used was culturally appropriate for the Algerian context. The study\u2019s main objectives were to (i) determine the prevalence of PTSD among cancer patients in Algeria, (ii) validate the Arabic DSM\u20105 PTSD Checklist (PCL\u20105) among Algerian cancer patients, and (iii) explore the associations between demographic and clinical factors and PTSD among this population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present study was cross\u2010sectional and comprised 370 cancer patients. All participants were patients receiving treatment in oncology wards across various hospitals. All participants completed the PCL\u20105. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to examine the factor structure of the PCL\u20105.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The PCL\u20105 was found to have a four\u2010factor structure. Out of the 370 participants, 154 (41.6%) had PCL\u20105 scores below the cutoff of 31, indicating lower levels of PTSD symptoms; 216 participants (58.4%) had scores above this threshold, suggesting a likelihood of PTSD. Moreover, PTSD was significantly associated with patients' low educational attainment and more advanced stages of their disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings indicated moderate to high PTSD symptoms among cancer patients in Algeria. Moreover, the Arabic PCL\u20105 demonstrated good psychometric properties confirming that it is a reliable and valid tool for assessing PTSD symptoms among Algerian cancer patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.70109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,22]],"date-time":"2025-02-22T02:43:21Z","timestamp":1740192201000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Post\u2010Traumatic
