Bereavement research is hampered conceptually by confounding of grief and depression, methodologically by a lack of generally agreed-upon measures. Therefore we developed the Munich Grief Scale (MGS) based on the Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS, Potvin et al. 1989) and results from a previous study. Validation included comparisons with standardized self-report scales of depression, anxiety and physical symptoms. It was based on a follow-up study of 125 patients who had miscarried and 3 comparison groups who either suffered from a miscarriage or a stillbirth. Self-reports were compared to expert ratings of grief and depression. The MGS is a economical, reliable self- and expert rating scale after pregnancy loss. The applicability of the grief measures to other kinds of bereavements remains to be determined.
丧亲之痛研究在概念上因悲伤与抑郁的混淆而受阻，在方法上因缺乏普遍认可的测量方法而受限。因此，我们基于围产期悲伤量表（PGS，Potvin等人，1989年）和先前一项研究的结果开发了慕尼黑悲伤量表（MGS）。验证包括与抑郁、焦虑和身体症状的标准化自我报告量表进行比较。该研究基于对125名流产患者和3个经历流产或死产的对照组的随访研究。将自我报告与悲伤和抑郁的专家评分进行比较。MGS是一种经济、可靠的流产后自我和专家评分量表。悲伤测量方法对其他类型丧亲之痛的适用性仍有待确定。
