Abstract

Background: The Short Version of the Perinatal Grief Scale (SVPGS) is a widely used scale of grief related to perinatal loss. This study aims to validate and refine the SVPGS among Chinese women experiencing perinatal loss by addressing its psychometric properties. Methods: After translating the SVPGS from English to Chinese and conducting a pre‐test with 20 end‐users, followed by an assessment of content validity involving 10 experts, a cross‐sectional study was conducted to assess its internal reliability and structure, concurrent, convergent, divergent, known‐group validities among 353 women who have experienced perinatal loss across eight hospitals in Hunan Province, China. A subset of 275 participants were reassessed over a 1‐month interval for the test–retest reliability. Results: The refined 15‐item SVPGS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.92) and strong 1‐month test–retest reliability (κ = 0.83) compared to the original SVPGS. A three‐factor structure consisting of 15 items was confirmed through item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and parallel analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis further validated this structure, indicating a good fit for the refined SVPGS. Concurrent validity was supported by a large correlation between the SVPGS and refined SVPGS (r = 0.90, p < 0.01). Convergent and divergent validities were confirmed through significant correlations with variables including depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and post‐traumatic stress disorder, psychological flexibility, mindfulness, self‐compassion, perceived social support, and quality of life. Known‐group validation revealed significant differences in these variables between high and low levels of the refined SVPGS. Conclusions: These findings indicate that the refined SVPGS is a brief, reliable, and valid tool for measuring grief in women who have experienced perinatal loss. Future research is strongly recommended to test the refined SVPGS across diverse samples and cultural contexts to enhance its generalizability.

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • The low-grief group's mean exceeds its inclusion cutoff

    Major

    A group restricted to refined SVPGS scores of 30 or less cannot have a mean score of 31.16.

  • The two-factor fit summary disagrees with Table 3

    Major

    The prose puts all two-factor models' χ2/df values between 5.82 and 6.75 and their GFI values between 0.76 and 0.80. Table 3 instead reports χ2/df of 4.75 and GFI of 0.89 for model 3, among other out-of-range indices.

  • Most reported losses fall outside the paper's perinatal-loss definition

    Major

    The paper defines perinatal loss as beginning at gestational week 20, but reports that 183 participants' most recent losses occurred during weeks 1-12.

  • Significant demographic associations are both denied and reported

    Major

    The results say no sociodemographic variables were significantly correlated with refined SVPGS scores, but the Table 1 note says three were.

  • The retest interval is reported as both one month and eight weeks

    Major

    The results describe the reassessment as occurring after one month, whereas the procedure and reliability result specify eight weeks.

  • The percentage for losses at weeks 1-12 uses the wrong denominator

    Major

    The reported 183 participants are 51.84% of the sample of 353, not 65.13%. This affects the stated distribution of gestational ages.

    Reported 65.13 · recomputed 51.84136

  • Two known-group t-statistic signs disagree with the table

    Minor

    The results give positive t-statistics for anxiety and PTSD, while Table A3 gives negative statistics of the same magnitudes.

  • The quality-of-life response scale has conflicting category counts

    Minor

    The WHOQOL-BREF description calls its response scale five-point but states endpoints of 1 and 7. Its stated maximum total of 182 also corresponds to 26 items scored up to 7.

  • Social support and quality-of-life measures are mislabeled

    Minor

    The correlation results call MSPSS a quality-of-life measure and WHOQOL-BREF a perceived-social-support measure, reversing the constructs assigned to those instruments in the measures section.

  • The reported Psy-Flex mean is below its possible range

    Minor

    The results give a Psy-Flex-C mean of 3.42, although the measure's stated total-score range starts at 6. Table 4 separately gives its mean as 21.70.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-11.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-11.

Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
