The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics associated with the grieving process among a population with intellectual disability and the influence of particular variables.
The sample was composed of 380 participants with intellectual disability, on whose behalf 149 professionals completed a 20-item questionnaire with four Likert-type answer options, developed to evaluate the grieving process: Inventory of Grief and Coping Strategies in Intellectual Disability (IGCS-ID).
The IGCS-ID shows adequate levels of reliability. It covers three dimensions: understanding of the concept of death, coping with the loss and post-bereavement reactions. The level of intellectual disability, the time elapsed since the loss and the residential setting gave rise to significant differences in the three dimensions based on the participants.
An assessment of the grieving process would help to put in place effective resources to help people with intellectual disability overcome the loss and cope with the changes that it brings.
本研究的目的是探讨智力残疾人群体中与悲伤过程相关的特征以及特定变量的影响。
样本由380名智力残疾参与者组成，149名专业人员代表他们完成了一份有20个项目的问卷，该问卷有四个李克特式答案选项，旨在评估悲伤过程：智力残疾者悲伤与应对策略量表（IGCS-ID）。
IGCS-ID显示出足够的信度水平。它涵盖三个维度：对死亡概念的理解、应对丧失以及丧亲后反应。基于参与者的智力残疾程度、丧失发生后的时间以及居住环境，在这三个维度上产生了显著差异。
对悲伤过程的评估将有助于制定有效的资源，以帮助智力残疾者克服丧失并应对其所带来的变化。
