| Popis: | The death of a child, who is attended by professionals, can be conceived by them as a loss, sometimes resulting in a traumatic experience. Social support becomes an important mediator of the grieving process, helping to relieve the stress and to cope better. Objective: Translation and validation into Spanish of «Grief Support in Health Care Scale (GSHCS)». Method: Through the translation and validation of cross-cultural equivalence of GSHCS in its Spanish version: «Apoyo en Duelo en Atención de Salud (EADAS)», we proceeded to auto-apply this instrument to 215 professionals working in oncology units and critical pediatric care. With this data there was an internal analysis of the tendencies using Cronbach’s Alpha, Bootstrap Confidence Intervals and an exploratory analysis was performed to test the psychometric properties of the scale divided into three dimensions; recognition of the relationship, recognition of the loss and incorporation of belief rituals, performing a comparison of means using the t test for independent samples. Results: The «Grief Support in Health Care Scale» (GSHCS) obtained a validation and reliability with a coefficient Cronbach’s Alpha score of 0.81. By analyzing the variables, it was found that oncology unit professionals and both units women perceive themselves to be more socially supported in their mourning. Conclusion: The «Grief Support in Health Care Scale» (GSHCS) is a valid and reliable instrument, which allows to identify the perception of support in the mourning process. |
