处理丧亲之痛的双重过程模型（M。Stroebe & H. Schut，1999）认为，最有效的适应涉及两个应对过程之间的振荡：损失取向（LO）和补偿取向（RO）。一个22个项目的日常丧偶生活（IDWL）的清单，以衡量这些过程和它们之间的振荡和评估，通过检查163个丧偶，年龄45 - 94岁。LO和RO分量表产生的α系数分别为0.90和0.79。最近丧偶表现出高度的振荡平衡的两个过程中，而有一个更大的强调，在那些失去亲人的时间更长的方向。这两个分量表产生显着的关系，在这项研究中使用的丧亲结局的措施。此外，自我照顾取向与自我照顾水平、日常生活能力及个人成长有直接关系。我们确定了值得进一步考虑的六个振荡维度，并鼓励其他人帮助开发和完善IDWL的所有功能，使其适用于其他损失关系。
The Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement ( M. Stroebe & H. Schut, 1999) suggests that the most effective adaptation involves oscillation between 2 coping processes: loss-orientation (LO) and restoration-orientation (RO). A 22-item Inventory of Daily Widowed Life (IDWL) was developed to measure these processes and the oscillation between them and assessed by examining 163 bereaved widow(er) s, ages 45 - 94 years. The LO and RO subscales produced alpha coefficients of .90 and .79, respectively. The more recently widowed demonstrated a high degree of oscillation balance between the two processes, while there was a greater emphasis on restoration-orientation among those bereaved longer. Both subscales generated significant relationships with the bereavement outcome measures used in this study. Furthermore, restoration-orientation was directly related to the level of self-care and daily living skills as well as personal growth. We identify six dimensions of oscillation that warrant further consideration and encourage others to help develop and refine all features of the IDWL and make it adaptable to other loss relationships.
