Background: Psychological problems after migration can affect children's lives and abilities. Migration grief has not been sufficiently considered in researches. The existing questionnaires in this field have been developed to evaluate the extent and severity of migration grief in adults, and their use for the age group of children and adolescents is ambiguous.
Aims: This research was conducted with the aim of construction and validating a researcher-made on Migratory Grief and Loss qutionnair in children living in Canada.
Methods: In terms of the fundamental-applied purpose, this research is a questionnaire survey in terms of the type of data collection, and in terms of methodology, it is considered as a test-making study, which was done in the form of a correlational research project. The statistical population of the research included all Iranian children of immigrant families in Canada in the age range of 9 to 15 years in 2023. The statistical sample was 120 children who were selected by convenience sampling method. The data collection tools in this research included the Migratory Grief and Loss qutionnair in children (researcher-made) and the Children's Depression Inventory (Kovacs & Beck, 1977). Data analysis was also done through Exploratory factor analysis and Confirmatory factor analysis of the first and second type to check the validity of the construct and principal component analysis method using AMOS-24 and SPSS-22 software.
Results: The results showed that the researcher-made on Migratory Grief and Loss qutionnair in children has favorable psychometric characteristics. Criterion validity of this questionnaire was obtained with the Children's Depression Inventory, 0.784. Factor analysis of the main components of the questionnaire was done with Varimax rotation, which explained 61.26% of the total variance by considering a 5-factor model. Regarding the reliability of the questionnaire, the retest coefficient and Cronbach's alpha of the questionnaire were equal to 0.89 and 0.94, respectively. Also, Cronbach's alpha of the subscales of the questionnaire was in the range of 0.72 to 0.94, which indicated the good reliability of this questionnaire.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this research, it is suggested that child and adolescent therapists use the researcher-made questionnaire of grief and loss of migration in children to identify children at risk of migration grief, assess the extent and severity of migration grief, and prepare a plan for therapeutic interventions related to it.
