The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a series of biopsychosocial repercussions among nursing professionals. The impossibility of anticipating the events, the numerous deaths, the excessive workload, the lack of personal health and the necessary means of protection made it difficult to regulate the impact and the elaboration of grief to the point of becoming, on many occasions, a traumatic grief whose physical and psychological manifestations are becoming more and more evident. The main objective of this research was to develop a scale for a group of symptoms based on professional traumatic grief. The development consisted of two phases: (I) instrument design through a literature review and focus groups of bereavement experts and healthcare professionals who experience the grief process in their work; and (II) validation of the content of the instrument. A total of 25 final items were established as suitable for inclusion in the instrument. It is expected that the experiences and results obtained through the development and validation of a scale of specific symptomatology of professional traumatic grief in health professionals will allow the assessment and detection of symptomatology in order to develop programs and strategies for early intervention and prevention.
新冠疫情给护理专业人员带来了一系列的身心社会影响。由于无法预测事件的发生、大量的死亡、过度的工作负荷、缺乏个人健康和必要的防护手段，护理人员难以调节影响和表达悲伤，以至于在很多情况下，成为创伤后悲伤，其身体和心理表现越来越明显。本研究的主要目的是基于职业创伤后悲伤，开发一组症状量表。开发过程包括两个阶段：（I）通过文献回顾和丧亲专家和在工作中经历悲伤过程的医疗保健专业人员的焦点小组设计工具；以及（II）工具内容的验证。共确定了 25 个最终项目，适合纳入工具中。预计通过开发和验证卫生专业人员职业创伤后悲伤特定症状量表所获得的经验和结果，将能够评估和发现症状，以便制定早期干预和预防计划和策略。
