This study sought to confirm in an independent, nonclinical study group previous work which demonstrated that the symptoms of complicated grief were distinct from the symptoms of bereavement related depression and anxiety.
Data used in the analyses were derived from a group of 150 widowed individuals who were interviewed 6 months after their deceased spouses' hospital admission (study entry). Complicated grief was measured with a modified version of the Grief Measurement Scale. Principal axis factoring was used to determine the distinctiveness of complicated grief, depression, and anxiety.
The principal axis factoring showed that the symptoms of complicated grief loaded quite highly on the first (complicated grief) factor and loaded very poorly on the anxiety and depression factors.
The results confirmed the authors' previous findings demonstrating the distinction between symptoms of complicated grief and symptoms of bereavement-related depression and anxiety.
本研究试图在一个独立的非临床研究组中证实先前的研究成果，该成果表明复杂性悲伤的症状与丧亲相关的抑郁和焦虑症状不同。
分析中使用的数据来自一组150名丧偶个体，他们在其配偶住院（研究开始）6个月后接受了访谈。使用修订版的悲伤测量量表来测量复杂性悲伤。主轴因子分析用于确定复杂性悲伤、抑郁和焦虑的独特性。
主轴因子分析表明，复杂性悲伤的症状在第一个（复杂性悲伤）因子上负荷很高，而在焦虑和抑郁因子上负荷很低。
结果证实了作者先前的发现，即复杂性悲伤症状与丧亲相关的抑郁和焦虑症状之间存在区别。
