GAMBA-COLLAZOS, HÉCTOR ALFREDO  e  NAVIA, CARMEN ELVIRA. Adaptation of the Complicated Grief Inventory to the Colombian Population. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1, pp.15-30. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v26n1.51205.

The Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) was adapted to Colombian people. Five juries evaluated the language and cultural adjustment of the Spanish version and then, the questionnaire was applied to 120 adults who had lost a family member. Psychometrical analysis showed an internal consistency similar to that one found in the original ICG, but higher than the one found in the Spain application. Convergent validity showed positive correlations between ICG and depression and anxiety tests, and three significant factors were identified. In brief, this adapted spanish version of the ICG has good psychometric properties and it can be used with Colombian people, but a validation study with a larger sample and using tools such as a clinical interview to determine the diagnostic power of this inventory is recommended.
