The loss of a loved one through death is practically an inevitable part of the human experience. However, not all grieving people cope with this blow in the same way. One of the factors that may differentiate the grieving reactions of mourners in the face of this lesion is the strategies that the person uses in this situation to adapt and manage the situation. A valid and reliable tool is also needed to measure and evaluate coping strategies. The aim of this study was to translate and determine the characteristics of psychological tools for measuring coping with experiences of grief and loss (28 items) in people living in Tehran.
This is a methodological study with a descriptive cross-sectional design that after obtaining written permission from the original developer and according to the WHO protocol, the Persian version of the questionnaire was completed by 480 people who experienced mourn in Tehran in February 2021 to October 2021. Then, the Face validity, Content validity and Construct validity of questionnaire were assessed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, McDonald's omega and Test-retest were used to determine the reliability.
Cronbach's alpha for all items was 0.91 and intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.86, both of which indicate the reliability of the Persian version of the CABLE tool. Based on exploratory factor analysis, maximum likelihood (n = 260) and confirmatory factor analysis (n = 220) six factors were identified. Factors can explain 50% of the total variance observed. The model had an acceptable fit: GFI: 0.88, CFI: 0.96, IFI: 0.96, NFI: 0.92, PNFI: 0.82, RAMSEA: 0.058, CMIN / DF: 2.37 RMR: 0.056. Internal consistency and construct validity of the questionnaire were confirmed.
The findings of the present study indicate that the Persian version of CABLE has the appropriate validity and reliability to assess the compliance with the experiences of grief and loss in Persian population.
失去亲人是人类经历中不可避免的一部分。然而,并非所有悲伤的人都以同样的方式应对这一打击。可能导致面对这种创伤时悲伤者反应不同的因素之一是,个人在这种情况下使用的适应和应对情况的策略。还需要一种有效和可靠的工具来衡量和评估应对策略。本研究的目的是翻译并确定用于衡量德黑兰人群应对悲伤和失落体验的心理工具(28 项)的特征。
这是一项具有描述性横断面设计的方法学研究,在从原始开发者获得书面许可并根据世界卫生组织(WHO)协议后,2021 年 2 月至 10 月期间,480 名在德黑兰经历过悲伤的人完成了问卷的波斯语版本。然后,评估了问卷的表面效度、内容效度和结构效度。使用克朗巴赫 α系数、麦克唐纳 ω系数和测试-重测来确定可靠性。
所有项目的克朗巴赫 α系数为 0.91,组内相关系数为 0.86,这两者均表明 CABLE 工具波斯语版本的可靠性。基于探索性因子分析,最大似然法(n=260)和验证性因子分析(n=220)确定了 6 个因素。这些因素可以解释观察到的总方差的 50%。该模型具有可接受的拟合度:GFI:0.88,CFI:0.96,IFI:0.96,NFI:0.92,PNFI:0.82,RAMSEA:0.058,CMIN/DF:2.37,RMR:0.056。问卷的内部一致性和结构效度得到了确认。
本研究的结果表明,CABLE 的波斯语版本具有适当的有效性和可靠性,可用于评估波斯语人群对悲伤和失落体验的遵守情况。
