Adattamento e validazione del "Continuing Bonds Scale" nel contesto italiano. Uno strumento per studiare la persistenza del legame con il defunto nel lutto normale e patologico
Abstract
Questo studio presenta la validazione italiana del questionario Continuing Bonds Scale (CBS) elaborato da Field e Filanosky (2010). Il questionario è costituito da due scale: una rappresenta il legame esternalizzato con il defunto (6 items) e l'altra rappresenta il legame internalizzato (10 items). È stato somministrato a 414 soggetti che hanno subito la perdita di una persona cara. L'analisi fattoriale esplorativa ha rivelato un modello a due fattori nellasoluzione con 16 item (KMO=.928, χ2=2694.84, df=120, p<.001). L'analisi fattoriale confermativa ha indicato che la soluzione a due fattori si adattava meglio ai dati (CFI=.935; TLI=.925; RMSEA=.063). I due fattori hanno dimostrato una buona attendibilità interna. Lo studio dimostra che la CBS ha buone proprietà psicometriche per l'utilizzo in ambito clinico.
