 Six Dimensions of Recovery

Authors: Peter Jen Der Pan et al., 2014

Response Type: Four point rating scale

Scale items: The items are organized into six factors or subscales. The subscales and sample items are below.

1. Spiritual well-being

  With God by my side, I will feel safe and peaceful.

2.  Recovering meaning and sense of control

  After experiencing the sorrow, I have realized what the most important things in life are.

3.  Ongoing physical and emotional responses

I think it’s unfair that my loved one has passed away while I still have to struggle to survive.

4. Reassuring faith

Even though my loved one is no longer alive, I believe that God is always around me and helps me.

5. Strongly missing a deceased loved one

I still miss very much my loved one who has passed away.

6. Life disturbance

I still have unconscious chills when I think of the incident.

 

Psychometric properties

The authors reported alpha = .94 for the total score. The subscale alphas range from .74 to .88.

The six factors accounted for 63.27% of the variance.

The CGRS was positively associated with another measure — Inventory of Grief.

Availability: The items can be found in Table 1 of the Pan et al. (2014) article.
