Conceptual and measurement problems in identifying those at risk of chronic grief are reviewed, and results are presented of a longitudinal study of people who have experienced pregnancy loss. Coping resources, particularly prior mental health and social support, were the best predictors of low scores on subscales of the Perinatal Grief Scale that indicate chronic grief reactions. Results also offer some evidence of delayed grief responses, especially among men and those who experienced early losses.
回顾了识别慢性悲伤风险人群时存在的概念和测量问题，并展示了一项对经历过流产人群的纵向研究结果。应对资源，尤其是既往心理健康状况和社会支持，是围产期悲伤量表中表明慢性悲伤反应的子量表得分较低的最佳预测因素。研究结果还提供了一些悲伤反应延迟的证据，尤其是在男性和经历过早产流产的人群中。
