Abstract

Background

The study aimed to translate and validate the Prolonged Grief Disorder (PG-13) scale from English into Urdu language. This involved examining its psychometric properties, evaluating its factor structure and assessing both convergent and discriminant validity. The study was conducted within the cultural context of Pakistan and focused on the assessment of manifestations of grief, including symptoms of prolonged grief, in adolescents with mild-to-moderate intellectual disability (ID). The PG-13 scale was selected for this study due to its demonstrated accuracy in measuring prolonged grieving symptoms in bereaved population.

Method

A total of 140 adolescents, aged 10–19 years according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2018 criteria, were selected from 14 cities in Pakistan. These participants had lost loved ones within the time span of the last 4 years. The WHO (2018) guidelines for translation, adaptation, and validation were followed.

Results

The findings suggest that the translated and validated PG-13 scale has adequate psychometric properties, with Cronbach alpha coefficient of .97. Confirmatory factor analysis supports a single-factor structure for the scale, with factor loadings ranging from .80 to .95.

Conclusion

The PG-13 Urdu version is a reliable and validated scale available for assessing grieving symptoms in the Pakistani context.

在失去亲人的智障青少年中翻译并验证乌尔都语的长期悲伤障碍（PG-13）量表。

研究背景本研究旨在将长期悲伤障碍（PG-13）量表从英语翻译成乌尔都语并对其进行验证。这包括检查其心理测量特性、评估其因子结构以及评估收敛效度和判别效度。这项研究是在巴基斯坦的文化背景下进行的，重点是评估轻度至中度智障（ID）青少年的悲伤表现，包括长期悲伤的症状。本研究选择了 PG-13 量表，因为该量表在测量丧亲人群的长期悲伤症状方面被证明是准确的：根据世界卫生组织（WHO）2018 年的标准，从巴基斯坦的 14 个城市中选取了 140 名年龄在 10-19 岁之间的青少年。这些参与者在过去 4 年中失去了亲人。研究遵循了世界卫生组织（2018 年）的翻译、改编和验证指南：研究结果表明，经过翻译和验证的 PG-13 量表具有充分的心理测量特性，其 Cronbach alpha 系数为 0.97。确认性因子分析支持量表的单因子结构，因子载荷在 0.80 至 0.95 之间：结论：PG-13 乌尔都语版是一个可靠且经过验证的量表，可用于评估巴基斯坦的悲伤症状。
