Following traumatic loss, defined as the death of a loved one due to unexpected or violent circumstances, adults may experience a myriad of grief-related problems. Given the addition of Prolonged Grief Disorders into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders Fifth Edition, Text-Revision and influx of unexpected deaths due to the global Coronavirus pandemic, there is heightened interest in the measurement of grief-related processes. We conducted a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to identify measures of grief used in studies of adults who experienced traumatic loss. Searches yielded 164 studies that used 31 unique measures of grief-related constructs. The most commonly used instrument was the Inventory of Complicated Grief-Revised. Half of the measures assessed constructs beyond diagnosable pathological grief responses. Given the wide variation and adaptations of measures reviewed, we recommend greater testing and uniformity of measurement across the field. Future research is needed to adapt and/or design measures to evaluate new criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder.

创伤性损失（定义为亲人因意外或暴力情况而死亡）后，成年人可能会经历无数与悲伤相关的问题。鉴于《精神疾病诊断和统计手册》第五版文本修订中增加了长期悲伤障碍，以及全球冠状病毒大流行导致意外死亡大量涌入，人们对衡量悲伤相关过程的兴趣日益浓厚。我们根据系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行了系统评价，以确定在经历创伤性损失的成年人的研究中使用的悲伤衡量标准。搜索产生了 164 项研究，使用了 31 种独特的悲伤相关结构测量方法。最常用的工具是修订后的复杂悲伤清单。一半的评估指标超出了可诊断的病理性悲伤反应。鉴于所审查的措施存在广泛的差异和适应性，我们建议在整个领域进行更多的测试和测量的统一性。未来的研究需要调整和/或设计措施来评估长期悲伤障碍的新标准。
