The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) was administered to parents (N = 260; 171 mothers and 89 fathers) whose adolescent and young adult children died unexpectedly and violently by accident, homicide, or suicide. Summary statistics and reliability coefficients (Cronbach's alpha) for the nine subscales and the Global Severity Index were calculated. A comparison of means and standard deviations confirmed the expectation that this sample is dramatically different from the normative American community standard. Raw scores for the subscales were transformed into standardized T scores and critical values for a screening heuristic presented. An attempt to obtain construct validity using factor analysis suggested that a five-factor solution provided a description of this population of bereaved parents that is more insightful than the nine standard subscales of the BSI. Implications for both clinicians and future research are discussed.
对那些青少年及年轻成年子女因意外事故、他杀或自杀而意外且暴力死亡的父母（N = 260；171名母亲和89名父亲）进行了简明症状量表（BSI）测试。计算了九个分量表和总体严重程度指数的描述性统计量及信度系数（克朗巴哈系数）。均值和标准差的比较证实了这样的预期，即该样本与美国正常社区标准存在显著差异。将分量表的原始分数转换为标准化T分数，并给出了用于筛查启发式方法的临界值。尝试通过因子分析来获得结构效度，结果表明五因素解决方案对这群丧亲父母的描述比BSI的九个标准分量表更具洞察力。讨论了对临床医生和未来研究的启示。
