Impact of Event Scale Revised

The IES-R is a 22-item self-report scale measuring subjective distress from a specific traumatic event. Developed by Weiss and Marmar in 1997 as a revision of the original 1979 Impact of Event Scale, it assesses posttraumatic stress symptoms along three core dimensions: intrusion, avoidance, and hyperarousal. The scale is widely used in clinical research, trauma assessment, and treatment monitoring.
