Abstract

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Turkish form of the Pet Bereavement Questionnaire (PBQ). Bereaved people (N = 688) completed the PBQ, Grief and Meaning Reconstruction Inventory, and Traumatic Grief Inventory. Although the factor structure is consistent with the original, the Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that two items should be included in a different factor. The analyses revealed good internal consistency, split-half reliability, and concurrent validity. Subscales produced meaningful correlations with loss-related variables. The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the PBQ indicate the measure is highly suited to measuring the symptoms of pet loss.

摘要

本研究检查了土耳其形式的宠物丧亲问卷 (PBQ) 的心理测量特性。丧亲者 ( N  = 688) 完成了 PBQ、悲伤和意义重建量表以及创伤性悲伤量表。虽然因子结构与原来一致，但探索性和验证性因子分析表明两个项目应包含在不同的因子中。分析显示出良好的内部一致性、对半信度和并发效度。分量表与损失相关变量产生了有意义的相关性。土耳其版 PBQ 的心理测量特性表明该措施非常适合衡量宠物丢失的症状。
