Abstract

Attachment insecurity, including attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance, is proposed as a key factor disrupting adaptive recovery following bereavement, resulting in complicated grief. However, findings are inconsistent across studies. This review aimed to synthesise existing research on attachment patterns in adults experiencing complicated grief to better understand this relationship. 22 cross-sectional and longitudinal studies (5149 participants), published between 2003 and 2020, met inclusion criteria. Higher levels of attachment anxiety were consistently associated with symptoms of complicated grief. Higher levels of attachment avoidance were associated with symptoms of complicated grief, although this relationship was less consistent. The review has implications for clinical practice as bereaved adults with insecure attachment histories may be particularly vulnerable to experiencing complicated grief. The research is limited by the reliance on mainly cross-sectional studies. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies, and studies that explore men's experiences, and of individuals living in non-Western countries.

成人依恋与复杂悲伤的关系:系统综述。
包括依恋焦虑和依恋回避在内的依恋不安全感是破坏丧亲后适应性恢复的关键因素,导致复杂的悲伤。然而,研究结果并不一致。本综述旨在综合现有的关于成人复杂悲伤依恋模式的研究,以更好地理解这种关系。2003年至2020年间发表的22项横断面和纵向研究(5149名参与者)符合纳入标准。高水平的依恋焦虑始终与复杂悲伤的症状相关。较高水平的依恋回避与复杂悲伤的症状相关,尽管这种关系不太一致。该综述对临床实践具有启示意义,因为具有不安全依恋历史的失去亲人的成年人可能特别容易经历复杂的悲伤。本研究主要依赖于横断面研究,存在一定的局限性。未来的研究应该集中在纵向研究,以及探索男性经验的研究,以及生活在非西方国家的个人的研究。
