Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) Score
The Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS) is a self-report instrument used to assess grief intensity following pregnancy loss. The scale consists of 33 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Total scores range from 33 to 165, with higher scores indicating greater levels of perinatal grief.
Time frame
Baseline (pre-intervention)4
Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21)
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) is a self-report instrument used to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. The scale consists of 21 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (did not apply to me at all) to 3 (applied to me very much or most of the time). The scale includes three subscales-Depression, Anxiety, and Stress-each comprising 7 items. Subscale scores are calculated by summing the relevant items and multiplying by two. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Severity Classification: DASS-21 subscale scores are categorized as follows: Severity Level Depression Anxiety Stress Normal 0-4 0-3 0-7 Mild 5-6 4-5 8-9 Moderate 7-10 6-7 10-12 Severe 11-13 8-9 13-16 Extremely Severe ≥14 ≥10 ≥17
