Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the psychometric properties of a newly translated Arabic version of the Nightmare Distress Questionnaire (NDQ-AV) using a sample of 546 Lebanese adolescents.
- Results showed strong support for both one-factor and two-factor models, grouping nightmare distress into "general distress and coping" and "impact and perception," along with excellent reliability.
- The findings validate the NDQ-AV for measuring nightmare distress, which is anticipated to enhance understanding of this issue in Lebanon.

This cross sectional study, conducted in April, 2 months after the earthquake, enrolled 546 Lebanese adolescents.
