Narrative accounts of bereaved partners of men with AIDS provided data regarding caregiving, bereavement, and the period immediately following bereavement. The findings of the Harvard Bereavement Study were used to develop the Bereavement Response Scale I (BR-I), containing 21 items within 6 categories. Total scores were correlated with scores from 4 mood measures taken at the time of bereavement and again 12 months following bereavement. A significant association was found with the Positive States of Mind Scale. Item analysis suggested that a shorter version containing 6 items, the Bereavement Response Scale II (BR-II), might be a more effective predictive instrument. Further development of the BR-I and BR-II is proposed as a means for using narrative data to predict bereavement outcomes.
对男性艾滋病患者遗属的叙述性记录提供了有关护理、丧亲之痛以及丧亲后紧接着那段时期的数据。哈佛丧亲研究的结果被用于编制丧亲反应量表I（BR-I），该量表在6个类别中有21个项目。总分与丧亲时以及丧亲后12个月时进行的4种情绪测量的得分相关。发现与积极心态量表有显著关联。项目分析表明，一个包含6个项目的较短版本，即丧亲反应量表II（BR-II），可能是一种更有效的预测工具。建议进一步开发BR-I和BR-II，作为利用叙述性数据预测丧亲结果的一种手段。
