摘要

The Texas Revise inventory of Grief (TRIG II) was developed to assess Grief intensity following the loss of a close person, encompassing present feelings. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of TRIG II in young adult bereaved Libyans. 1049 Participants with an average age of 28.25 (standard deviation = 9.08), of whom (78.8%) were females, completed the translated TRIG, The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the short version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and the Muslim religiosity scale. Results from confirmatory factor analysis confirm a three-factor model for the TRIG II, assessing emotional response, non-acceptance, and Thoughts related to normal Grief. This scale exhibited high internal consistency and reliability with emotional Response (α = 0.85), non-acceptance (α = 0.82), thoughts (α = 0.83). Furthermore, the three factors negatively correlated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, indicating their construct validity. The study also found that intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity showed an indirect association between grief symptom, posttraumatic growth and psychological distress, discussing the potential for positive psychological changes following bereavement. Network analysis provides insights into grief responses across different types of loss, revealing cultural influences on grieving patterns. Sex differences in grief manifestations are also explored, suggesting variation between Libyan Arabs and western cultures. In addition to the contribution of scale validation, clinicians should consider cultural sensitivity in grief responses to effectively adopt interventions related to coping skills, acceptance, adjustment to loss and support needs.
