The International Grief Questionnaire (IGQ) is a self-report measure of ICD-11 Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) in adults. This study sought to develop and validate a caregiver-report version of the IGQ for children and adolescents aged 7-17 years; the IGQ-Caregiver Version (IGQ-CG). 639 parents living in Ukraine provided data on themselves and one child in their household as part of the " study. The latent structure of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while convergent validity was assessed through associations with other mental health correlates. Prevalence rates of probable ICD-11 PGD were estimated. CFA results supported a correlated two-factor model ('core' and 'associated' symptoms) and the internal reliability of the scale scores were acceptable. Convergent validity was supported through significant correlations with internalizing symptoms, while contact with the deceased, time since bereavement, and parental PGD were associated with higher scores on the IGQ-CG latent variables. The prevalence of probable ICD-11 PGD was 1.4%, and amongst those with a lifetime bereavement, the conditional rate was 3.2%. The IGQ-CG produces reliable and valid scores for ICD-11 PGD symptoms in children and adolescents as reported by their caregivers.
《国际哀伤问卷》(IGQ)是一种用于评估成年人 ICD-11 持续性哀伤障碍(PGD)的自评量表。本研究旨在为 7-17 岁的儿童和青少年开发和验证 IGQ 的照料者报告版本,即 IGQ-照料者版本(IGQ-CG)。639 名居住在乌克兰的父母作为“乌克兰心理创伤和精神健康研究”的一部分,提供了关于他们自己和家中一名儿童的数据。使用验证性因子分析(CFA)来测试量表的潜在结构,同时通过与其他心理健康相关因素的关联来评估聚合效度。估计了可能的 ICD-11 PGD 的患病率。CFA 结果支持相关的两因素模型(“核心”和“相关”症状),并且量表得分的内部可靠性是可以接受的。聚合效度通过与内化症状的显著相关性得到支持,而与死者的接触、丧亲时间和父母的 PGD 与 IGQ-CG 潜在变量上的较高得分相关。可能的 ICD-11 PGD 的患病率为 1.4%,在有终生丧亲经历的人中,条件患病率为 3.2%。IGQ-CG 为儿童和青少年的照料者报告的 ICD-11 PGD 症状提供了可靠和有效的评分。
