This article describes the derivation of a short-form of the Marwit-Meuser Caregiver Grief Inventory (MM-CGI), an inventory designed to measure grief in caregivers of persons with progressive dementia. It presents initial reliability and validity data and describes ways to use the inventory both clinically and scientifically. The resulting MM-CGI Short Form, presented here in its entirety, is comprised of 18 items and, like its full-form relative, is self-scoring and yields a Total Grief score and sub-scale scores measuring factors representing Personal Sacrifice Burden, Heartfelt Sadness and Longing, and Worry and Felt Isolation.
本文介绍了Marwit-Meuser照顾者悲伤量表简版(MM-CGI)的推导过程,该量表旨在测量患有进行性痴呆症患者的照顾者的悲伤情绪。文章展示了初步的信效度数据,并描述了在临床和科研中使用该量表的方法。完整呈现于此的MM-CGI简版由18个条目组成,与其完整版类似,具有自我评分功能,可得出总悲伤得分以及代表个人牺牲负担、深切悲伤与渴望、担忧和孤独感等因素的子量表得分。
