A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) has been formally included in the ICD-11 and the DSM-5-TR recently. So far, little research has been conducted that evaluates the validity of PGD criteria per ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR. To assess the test-criterion validity of PGD, aimed to establish if PGD symptoms per ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR criteria predict changes in QoL. A sample of 276 bereaved adults (mean age 54 years, 92% female) filled in a survey at baseline and 6 (n = 142) and 12 (n = 135) months later. The Traumatic Grief Inventory-Self Report Plus was used to measure the independent variables ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR prolonged grief symptoms. The European Health Interview Survey - Quality of Life 8-item index was used to measure the dependent variable QoL. Two simple linear regression analyses demonstrated that T1 ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR prolonged grief symptoms related negatively to T1 QoL, supporting concurrent test-criterion validity. Four hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that T1 ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR symptoms significantly predict QoL at T2 and T3 whilst controlling for T1 QoL, supporting predictive test-criterion validity. ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR prolonged grief symptoms are negatively associated with quality of life. ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR prolonged grief symptoms predict lower quality of life scores at T2 and T3.
