While Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) among refugees has recently started to attract scientific attention, knowledge regarding associated psychological factors remains limited. Given the multifactorial context of persecution, trauma, displacement, and exile-related difficulties, obtaining a better understanding of PGD in refugees is crucial because PGD may affect psychological well-being, level of functioning, and social integration.
In a sample of refugees receiving psychological treatment in Switzerland ( = 88), we examined the relationship between severity of PGD and potentially associated factors such as emotion regulation, perceived self-efficacy, as well as potentially traumatic events and post-migration living difficulties.
In a regression analysis, difficulties in emotion regulation and lower perceived self-efficacy were associated with greater severity of PGD, while post-migration living difficulties and potentially traumatic events did not emerge as significant factors.
These findings suggest that emotion regulation and perceived self-efficacy are associated with PGD in refugees in psychological treatment and are thus potential targets for treatment interventions.
虽然难民中的持续性悲伤障碍（PGD）最近开始引起科学关注，但关于相关心理因素的知识仍然有限。鉴于迫害、创伤、流离失所和流亡相关困难的多因素背景，更好地了解难民中的PGD至关重要，因为PGD可能影响心理健康、功能水平和社会融合。
在瑞士接受心理治疗的难民样本（n = 88）中，我们研究了PGD严重程度与潜在相关因素之间的关系，如情绪调节、感知自我效能，以及潜在创伤事件和移民后生活困难。
在回归分析中，情绪调节困难和较低的感知自我效能与PGD的更严重程度相关，而移民后生活困难和潜在创伤事件并未成为显著因素。
这些发现表明，情绪调节和感知自我效能与接受心理治疗的难民中的PGD相关，因此是治疗干预的潜在目标。
