Abstract

Continuing the bond (CB) to a deceased loved one plays a clinically significant role in grief. We validated the Continuing Bonds Scale (CBS) examining externalized CB (illusions and hallucinations) versus internalized CB (use of the deceased as a secure base) in relation to risk factors of complicated grief and bereavement-related adjustment. Data from 364 bereaved German participants on CBS, Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG), and Posttraumatic Personal Growth Inventory (PPGI) entered an exploratory factor analysis. This yielded a two-factor-solution representing externalized and internalized CB (KMO = .89, χ2 = 2100.5, df = 120). Both factors demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .87). ICG and PPGI highly correlated with externalized and internalized CB. Cause of death and feelings of responsibility were associated with externalized CB. In the future, the use of the CBS could help predict problems in grief processing and consequently implement early interventions.

还在吗?评估与已故爱人的持续关系——德国人群中“持续联系量表”的验证。
继续与已故亲人建立联系(CB)在悲伤中起着临床上重要的作用。我们验证了持续债券量表(CBS),该量表考察了外化CB(幻觉和幻觉)与内化CB(将死者作为安全基础)与复杂悲伤和丧亲相关调整的风险因素之间的关系。哥伦比亚广播公司、复杂悲伤量表(ICG)和创伤后个人成长量表(PPGI)对364名失去亲人的德国参与者的数据进行了探索性因素分析。这产生了一个代表外部化和内部化CB的双因素解(KMO=0.89,χ2=2100.5,df=120)。两个因素都表现出高度的内部一致性(Cronbachα=0.87)。ICG和PPGI与外化和内化CB高度相关。死亡原因和责任感与外化CB有关。未来,CBS的使用可以帮助预测悲伤处理中的问题,从而实施早期干预。
