“…Only 11 studies were of samples exclusively exposed to traumatic loss. Sample sizes ranged from 8 (Daigle & Labelle, 2012) to 400 (Kaplan et al, 2020). Studies were conducted in the United States ( n = 24), the Netherlands ( n = 5), Korea ( n = 1), Belgium ( n = 2), Canada ( n = 2), Norway ( n = 1), Iran ( n = 1), Finland ( n = 1), South Africa ( n = 2), and Rwanda ( n = 2).…”

“…The Inventory of Youth Adaptation to Loss (IYAL) was used in one included study that also described its development and validation (Kaplan et al, 2020). This self-report measure (46 items) evaluates bereaved children’s social and emotional support and responses to grief.…”

“…A cut-off score of 13 is suggested to indicate low grief and below 13 to indicate high intensity grief (Hogan & Greenfield, 1991; Poijula et al, 2001). Of note, Kaplan et al (2020) used the revised short-form version re-named the Hogan Inventory of Bereavement-Short Form (Hogan et al, 2021) that consists of 20 items.…”

The Hogan Sibling Inventory of Bereavement was used in three included studies (Dyregrov et al, 1999;Hogan, 1990;Hogan & Greenfield, 1991;Kaplan et al, 2020;Poijula et al, 2001) and has two subscales: Personal Growth (22 items; e.g., "I have a better outlook on life") and General Grief (24 items; "I don't care what happens to me"). Items are scored on a Likert scale from 1 (almost always true) to 5 (hardly ever true) with lower scores indicating greater grief and lower personal growth.…”

Children who experience the traumatic (i.e., violent and/or unexpected) death of a loved one are at risk for a range of adverse developmental and mental health problems, including pathological processes of grief. Over the last decades, conceptualizations of maladaptive grief have varied, resulting in a range of assessment tools and no “gold standard” measure to assess symptoms of prolonged grief in children. The current paper is a systematic review of studies that measured grief in children who experienced traumatic loss in order to determine the measures currently used in the literature with children who experience traumatic loss. Searches were conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in PUBMED, PsycINFO, and OVID and through hand searches of relevant reference lists. Two authors reviewed each study yielded by searches and conducted data extraction on included studies. Studies were included if they were peer-reviewed, included a measure of grief, and consisted of samples of children (age 18 and younger) whereby at least a portion experienced traumatic loss. Thirty-nine studies met inclusion criteria, from which 17 measures were identified. The most commonly used measure was the Inventory of Complicated Grief ( n = 10 studies) followed by the Extended Grief Inventory ( n = 6). Most studies used different measures and variations of the same measures to assess similar constructs. All but one measure relied on child self-report. More standardization of measurement across studies is needed, along with parent and/or teacher reported measures.

Grief Instruments in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Many children and adolescents experience the death of a close person, such as a family member or a friend. However, there is a scarcity of literature on the assessment of grief in bereaved youth. The use of validated instruments is essential to advance our knowledge of grief in children and adolescents. We conducted a systematic review, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, to identify instruments that measure grief in this population and explore their characteristics. Searches in six databases (Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, and Web of Science) identified 24 instruments, encompassing three categories: general-purpose grief scales, maladaptive grief scales, and specialized grief scales. We extracted data using a predetermined list of descriptive and psychometric properties. Findings indicate a need to direct research towards more stringent validation of existing instruments and the design of new instruments in line with developments in the understanding of grief in this population.
