Abstract

The aim of this study was to characterize the network structure of grief-related functional impairment symptoms as measured by The Grief Impairment Scale (GIS) in 520 Peruvian individuals who have experienced the death of a family member or loved one. A psychological network model was applied to evaluate the estimation, stability, and accuracy of the network during the analysis sequence. The results indicated that the inability to perform activities at work, school, or home was the most central symptom in the entire network. However, the presence of high instability in the centrality indices indicates that the central node may differ in other cultural contexts. The networks were invariant according to sex. The most influential node in the women's group was their inability to perform activities at work, school, or home. In men, the most central node was the presence of health problems due to bereavement. The results would help to better understand functional impairment due to bereavement

秘鲁样本哀伤损害量表测量丧亲功能损害症状的网络结构

本研究的目的是表征悲伤相关功能障碍症状的网络结构，通过悲伤障碍量表(GIS)测量520名秘鲁人，他们经历了家庭成员或亲人的死亡。应用心理网络模型对网络在分析过程中的估计、稳定性和准确性进行了评价。结果表明，无法在工作、学校或家中进行活动是整个网络中最主要的症状。然而，中心性指数的高度不稳定性表明，在其他文化背景下，中心节点可能有所不同。这些网络在性别上是不变的。女性群体中最具影响力的节点是她们无法在工作、学校或家中进行活动。在男性中，最中心的节点是由于丧亲而出现的健康问题。这一结果将有助于更好地理解丧亲之痛导致的功能损伤
