Abstract

Aims/background: Assessing the intensity of perinatal grief is very important for identifying the more complex cases in mothers and fathers. Despite this, there are few assessment tools available. The aim of this study was to analyse the psychometric properties (factorial structure, reliability, and validity) of the Spanish version of the Perinatal Grief Intensity Scale (PGIS).

Design/methods: An online survey was completed by 291 mothers and fathers who had suffered perinatal loss in the previous six years.

Results: The results showed adequate fit indexes for the three-factor model of the PGIS: reality, confront others, and congruence. Reliability values for the overall scale and subscales were adequate. Finally, with regard to validity, significant (p < .05) and positive relationships were found with levels of complicated grief, event centrality, guilt, anxiety, and depression. There were also differences depending on whether participants exhibited high or low levels of complicated grief, and on the number of weeks of pregnancy at the time of the loss.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the Spanish adaptation of the PGIS has adequate reliability and validity scores and a factorial structure consistent with the original version.

目的/背景：评估围产期悲伤的强度对于识别母亲和父亲的复杂病例非常重要。尽管如此，目前可用的评估工具却很少。本研究旨在分析西班牙文版围产期悲伤强度量表（PGIS）的心理测量特性（因子结构、可靠性和有效性）：设计/方法：291 位在过去六年中遭受过围产期损失的母亲和父亲完成了一项在线调查：结果表明，PGIS 的三因素模型（现实、面对他人和一致性）具有足够的拟合指数。总体量表和分量表的信度值也足够高。最后，在效度方面，PGIS 的效度显著（p 结论）：总之，西班牙文改编版 PGIS 具有足够的信度和效度，其因子结构与原版一致。
