- Abstract: The Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder (PCBD) Checklist was constructed to facilitate the developmentally sensitive assessment of proposed PCBD criteria in bereaved children and adolescents 8–18 years of age. Initial analyses of the PCBD Checklist provided support for the hypothesized two‐factor model. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the measurement invariance of the PCBD Checklist with respect to gender (boys and girls), race/ethnicity (White, Black, and Hispanic youth), and age (school age, preadolescent, and adolescent youth). Participants were 594 youth (50.4% female) aged 7–18 years ( M = 11.91, SD = 2.80) who were evaluated as part of standard care at a community‐based grief support center. Youth self‐identified as Hispanic ( n = 184, 30.8%), non‐Hispanic white ( n = 179, 30.0%), and African American/Black ( n = 136, 22.8%). A series of stepwise, multigroup confirmatory factor analyses provided evidence in support of the PCBD Checklist's measurement invariance for all three groups concerning configural invariance, metric invariance, and scalar invariance. These results suggest that PCBD Checklist Criterion B and C scores are measuring similar latent variables, to a similar degree, across gender, race/ethnicity, and age.

Resumen: Spanish Abstracts by Asociación Chilena de Estrés Traumático (ACET) Invarianza de la Medida de la Lista de Chequeo del Trastorno de Duelo Complejo Persistente con Respecto al Género, la Raza, la Etnia y la Edad de los Jóvenes INVARIANZA DE LA MEDIDA DE LA LISTA DE CHEQUEO PCBD La Lista de Chequeo del Trastorno por Duelo Complejo Persistente (PCBD, por su sigla en inglés) fue elaborada para facilitar la evaluación sensible al desarrollo de los criterios de PCBD propuestos en niños y adolescentes en duelo de 8 a 18 años de edad. Los análisis iniciales de la lista de chequeo del PCBD proporcionaron apoyo para el modelo hipotético de dos factores. El propósito del presente estudio fue evaluar la invarianza de la medida de la Lista de Chequeo del PCBD con respecto al género (niños y niñas), raza/etnia (jóvenes blancos, negros, e hispanos), y edad (edad escolar, preadolescente, y adolescente). Los participantes fueron 594 jóvenes (50.4% mujeres) de 7 a 18 años ( M = 11.91, DE = 2.80) quienes fueron evaluados como parte de la atención estándar en un centro de apoyo para el duelo en la comunidad. Los jóvenes se autoidentificaron como hispanos ( n = 184, 30.8%), blancos no hispanos ( n = 179, 30.0%) y afroamericanos/negros ( n = 136, 22.8%). Una serie de análisis factoriales confirmatorios multigrupo paso a paso proporcionaron evidencia que respalda la invarianza de la medición de la Lista de Chequeo del PCBD para los tres grupos con respecto a la invarianza configuracional, la invarianza métrica, y la invarianza escalar. Estos resultados sugieren que los puntajes del Criterio B y C de la Lista de Chequeo del PCBD miden variables latentes similares, en un grado similar, según el género, la raza/etnia y la edad. Establecer la equivalencia de la Lista de Chequeo del PCBD entre los grupos es un respaldo importante de su generalizabilidad y utilidad clínica, ya que se puede administrar a diversas poblaciones con la confianza de que está midiendo los criterios de diagnóstico del PCBC propuestos de manera similar en todos los subgrupos. 抽象: 簡體及繁體中文撮要由亞洲創傷心理研究學會翻譯 JOTS‐19‐0263.R4 Hill Measurement Invariance of the Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder Checklist with Respect to Youth Gender, Race, Ethnicity, and Age Traditional Chinese 標題: 持續性複雜哀慟疾患檢查表基於青少年的性別、種族、年齡的測量不變性 撮要: 持續性複雜哀慟疾患(PCBD)檢查表, 旨在幫助對8至18歲哀慟兒童及青少年, 基於提出的PCBD準則進行發展敏感的評估。對PCBD檢查表的初步分析, 為假設性的二因素模型提供了支持理據。本研究旨在評估PCBD檢查表對不同性別 (男或女) 、種族 (白人、黑人、西班牙裔青少年) 及年齡 (達入學年齡、前青少年期及青少年期) 的測量不變性。樣本為594名青少年(50.4% 女性), 年齡介乎7至18歲(M = 11.91, SD = 2.80)。他們在一社區為本的哀慟支援中心接受過標準的檢查服務。樣本的自我身分認同為西班牙裔(n = 184, 30.8%)、非西班牙裔白人(n = 179, 30.0%)、非裔美國人/黑人(n = 136, 22.8%)。我們進行了一系列逐步的、多組別驗證因素分析, 找出證據支持PCBD檢查表對三組均有以下的測量不變性:組態不變性、度量不變性、純量不變性。這些結果反映, PCBD檢查表的準則B與準則C分數, 對不同性別、種族和年齡, 都以相近的程度測量相似的潛在變量。確立PCBD檢查表的跨組別等價屬重要的一步, 以承認其概化性和臨床功用, 證明大眾能有信心其可用於廣泛人口, 基於現已提出的PCBC診斷準則, 對不同的子組別以相似的程度進行測量。 Simplified Chinese 标题: 持续性复杂哀恸疾患检查表基于青少年的性别、种族、年龄的测量不变性 撮要: 持续性复杂哀恸疾患(PCBD)检查表, 旨在帮助对8至18岁哀恸儿童及青少年, 基于提出的PCBD准则进行发展敏感的评估。对PCBD检查表的初步分析, 为假设性的二因素模型提供了支持理据。本研究旨在评估PCBD检查表对不同性别 (男或女) 、种族 (白人、黑人、西班牙裔青少年) 及年龄 (达入学年龄、前青少年期及青少年期) 的测量不变性。样本为594名青少年(50.4% 女性), 年龄介乎7至18岁(M = 11.91, SD = 2.80)。他们在一小区为本的哀恸支持中心接受过标准的检查服务。样本的自我身分认同为西班牙裔(n = 184, 30.8%)、非西班牙裔白人(n = 179, 30.0%)、非裔美国人/黑人(n = 136, 22.8%)。我们进行了一系列逐步的、多组别验证因素分析, 找出证据支持PCBD检查表对三组均有以下的测量不变性:组态不变性、度量不变性、纯量不变性。这些结果反映, PCBD检查表的准则B与准则C分数, 对不同性别、种族和年龄, 都以相近的程度测量相似的潜在变量。确立PCBD检查表的跨组别等价属重要的一步, 以承认其概化性和临床功用, 证明大众能有信心其可用于广泛人口, 基于现已提出的PCBC诊断准则, 对不同的子组别以相似的程度进行测量。 … (more)
