Abstract:
Objective:To develop a professional grief scale for medical postgraduate students(PGS-MPS) and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the integrated model of professional grief, the initial item pool was formed after literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, group discussion, and 5 experts were invited to assess the relevance of the items and provided revision suggestion.A total of 506 valid questionnaires were collected.SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 26.0 were used to test its reliability and validity.Results:The PGS-MPS included 41 items, including the professional grief reaction subscale and disenfranchised grief subscale.The professional grief reaction subscale included emotional reaction (14 items), physiological and cognitive reaction (20 items), and the cumulative variance contribution rate of the two factors model was 52.908%.Disenfranchised grief subscale included 7 items, with a single dimension and a variance contribution rate of 51.730%.Confirmatory factor analysis indicated the model fitting well.The Cronbach’s α coefficients for the professional grief reaction subscale and disenfranchised grief subscale were 0.947 and 0.850, respectively.Conclusion:The PGS-MPS has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate professional grief of medical postgraduate students.
