AIMS/BACKGROUND: Assessing the intensity of perinatal grief is very important for identifying the more complex cases in mothers and fathers. Despite this, there are few assessment tools available. The aim of this study was to analyse the psychometric properties (factorial structure, reliability, and validity) of the Spanish version of the Perinatal Grief Intensity Scale (PGIS).
DESIGN/METHODS: An online survey was completed by 291 mothers and fathers who had suffered perinatal loss in the previous six years.
The results showed adequate fit indexes for the three-factor model of the PGIS: reality, confront others, and congruence. Reliability values for the overall scale and subscales were adequate. Finally, with regard to validity, significant ( < .05) and positive relationships were found with levels of complicated grief, event centrality, guilt, anxiety, and depression. There were also differences depending on whether participants exhibited high or low levels of complicated grief, and on the number of weeks of pregnancy at the time of the loss.
In conclusion, the Spanish adaptation of the PGIS has adequate reliability and validity scores and a factorial structure consistent with the original version.
目的/背景:评估围产期悲伤的强度对于识别父母中更为复杂的情况非常重要。尽管如此,可用的评估工具却很少。本研究的目的是分析西班牙语版围产期悲伤强度量表(PGIS)的心理测量特性(因子结构、信度和效度)。
设计/方法:对291名在过去六年中经历过围产期丧亲之痛的父母进行了在线调查。
结果显示PGIS三因素模型(现实、面对他人和一致性)具有足够的拟合指数。总量表和子量表的信度值足够。最后,关于效度,发现与复杂悲伤程度、事件中心性、内疚、焦虑和抑郁水平存在显著(<0.05)正相关。根据参与者复杂悲伤水平的高低以及丧亲时怀孕的周数也存在差异。
总之,PGIS的西班牙语改编版具有足够的信度和效度得分,且因子结构与原始版本一致。
