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.

Despite rising rates of drug-related deaths (DRDs), the consequences of DRDs for bereaved family members are scarcely investigated. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of prolonged grief (PG) symptoms in bereaved family members after DRDs, identify predictors of PG and examine whether symptom levels decrease with time. A cross-sectional design based on survey data from parents (n = 93), siblings (n = 78), children (n = 24) and other family members (n = 39) was conducted (n = 234). Descriptive analyses, a multivariate linear regression, and ANOVA were performed. 60 family members (26%) suffered from high levels of PG symptoms after DRDs (parents 31.2%, siblings 21.8%, children 20.9%). The strongest associations were found between a high level of symptoms and 'months since the loss', 'suicidal thoughts' and 'withdrawal from others'. The ANOVA analyses showed that time does not always 'heal all wounds', and the bereaved who lost one to 2 years ago had the highest level of PG symptoms.

The study was conducted to determine the death anxiety experienced by heart patients and the affecting factors in the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted with 148 patients hospitalized in the cardiology clinic of a university hospital between April and August 2021 in the southeast in Turkey. The data were collected with the personal information form, death anxiety scale, coronavirus anxiety scale and Covid-19 fear scale developed by the researchers. Data analysis was performed by using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data. Correlation and regression analysis were performed to determine the relationship between scales. The mean age of the patients was 64.99+15.56 years and 56.1% were male. 57.4% of them were hospitalized with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease. During the pandemic, it was determined that 74.3% of the patients followed social distance, 71.6% wore masks, 58.8% used disinfectants. The patients had moderate death anxiety, low coronavirus anxiety, and high covid 19 fear. A positive linear correlation was found between anxiety and fear scale and death anxiety total and sub-dimensions. As a result, the fear of COVID-19 may increase the fear of death in individuals with heart disease. Patients who are worried about being infected with Covid 19 during the pandemic process have more fear of death.

This systematic review aimed to summarize the evidence regarding death anxiety (DA) and related factors among nurses. Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database (SID) databases were extensively searched using purpose-related keywords from the earliest to October 5, 2021. A total of 6819 nurses were included in 31 studies. The DA of nurses based on the Templer's Death Anxiety Scale was moderate. Factors such as personal anxiety, frequency and severity of job stress, burnout, dying patient avoidance behavior, euthanasia, sex, mental health status, social desirability, attitude toward the elderly, humor, social maturity, psychological hardiness, quality of life, lack of social activity, self-efficacy, coping with death, and life satisfaction were associated with nurses' DA. Therefore, nursing policymakers can promote nurses' health to improve the quality of nursing care by considering these related factors.

The Stigma of Suicide Scale (SOSS) is a measure of public attitudes toward suicide decedents, which makes it unique from other scales that measure more general attitudes toward suicide. The aim of this study was to further replicate and extend the reliability and factor structure of the SOSS (both long- and short form) in a sample of individuals directly impacted by suicide. This study also sought to identify factors that impact suicide attitudes unique to this sample. The sample included 312 participants who had personal experience with suicide. Results provided support for the oblique three-factor structure of the SOSS (stigma, isolation/depression, and glorification/normalization), with a superior model fit for the 16-item short form version. Correlates of suicide attitudes among individuals exposed to suicide included perceived relationship closeness to a suicide decedent, experience with both loss and attempt, and the sex of the suicide decedent.

End-of-life (EOL) doulas are care providers and companions that offer spiritual, emotional, psychosocial, or psychological care to a person who is dying as well as their family and loved ones (Fukuzawa & Kondo, 2017). However, much like other options for EOL care (e.g., hospice, palliative care), their practice is often underutilized and misunderstood. There is limited research on EOL doulas, including who they are and what they do, leaving an opening for future studies to explore the topic (Krawczyk & Rush, 2020). As part of a larger investigation to gather information on EOL doulas, 12 in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with certified doulas regarding their experiences. Three themes emerged from this project: motivations to become an EOL doula, roles of an EOL doula, and challenges of an EOL doula. In this article, only two themes, motivations to become an EOL doula and roles of an EOL doula are discussed.

Understanding the meaning of loss for racialized immigrant fathers and addressing their experiences in a culturally competent manner is important in an increasingly ethnoculturally diverse country like Canada. Culture, customs and rituals influence fathers' grief and culture impacts how individuals discuss death and dying as well as how they perceive the death of a child. This article is part of a qualitative research project, which examined the experiences of racialized immigrant fathers who experienced the death of a child. Guided by Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory, the methodological aim was to develop a theoretical framework grounded in fathers' experiences of child death within the hospital setting. Findings suggest that for racialized immigrant fathers their migration experience compounds their losses in unexpected ways and that experiences of objectification or 'othering' in hospital and by health care staff were significant.

Adverse life events are associated with the often-terrifying REM sleep parasomnia of sleep paralysis (SP), but the impact of bereavement on SP has not been specifically examined. This exploratory, mixed-methods study (N = 168) includes qualitative data from 55 participants who described factors they believed led to their SP. Of these, almost half with a traumatic loss listed death-related precipitants. In unadjusted (bivariate) negative binomial regression models, traumatic death, time since death, religiosity, and age estimated increased SP frequency in the prior month, prior year, or both. In multivariable models, traumatic death, time since death, and age estimated increased frequency in the prior month, prior year, or both. Unexpectedly, in all models, as compared to death ≥9 years earlier, prior month SP was greater with death 1-6 years earlier, but not <1 year earlier. Discussion includes the possible role of social constraints in traumatic grief trajectories and care provider recommendations.

Bereavement is commonly experienced by students in higher education and is associated with negative health and academic consequences. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify how grief affects students in higher education and the types of support they seek and/or find beneficial. A search of Health Collection, Medline, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, Taylor and Francis online, ProQuest, and Open Grey resulted in 30 articles that met inclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis resulted in 11 themes focused on the university experience following bereavement (six themes) and supports following bereavement (five themes). Our review highlights how grief symptoms can have a negative impact on bereaved students' academic and social experiences. These difficulties are exacerbated by barriers to accessing grief supports, and unhelpful responses from staff and peers. Students' grief is often disenfranchised and so students learn to avoid grief related emotions, communications, and support-seeking.
在高等教育中,学生通常会经历丧亲,这会对健康和学业产生负面影响。我们对文献进行了系统的回顾,以确定悲伤如何影响高等教育中的学生,以及他们寻求和/或发现有益的支持类型。在Health Collection、Medline、CINAHL Plus、Web of Science、Taylor and Francis online、ProQuest和Open Grey的搜索中,有30篇文章符合入选标准。叙事综合产生了11个主题,重点关注丧亲之痛后的大学经历(6个主题)和丧亲之灾后的支持(5个主题)。我们的综述强调了悲伤症状如何对失去亲人的学生的学术和社会经历产生负面影响。获得悲伤支持的障碍,以及工作人员和同事的无益回应,加剧了这些困难。学生的悲伤往往被剥夺了权利,因此学生学会避免与悲伤相关的情绪、沟通和寻求支持。

Ethical bonds transformation is a cultural phenomenon in Taiwanese bereaved families. When the death event occurs, the absent status of the deceased invokes spontaneous change in whole family to cope with the irreparable loss. In the present study, 283 bereaved individuals were recruited to develop the ethical bonds transformation scale. Exploratory factor analysis has generated two factors: ethical bonds and symbolic bonds. Partial correlation has shown that ethical bonds was positively correlated with post-grief growth and negatively correlated with most of the grief related symptoms, indicating that ethical bonds might be a protective factor in the family grief process.

Exploratory factor analysis has generated two factors: ethical bonds and symbolic bonds. Partial correlation has shown that ethical bonds was positively correlated with post-grief growth and negatively correlated with most of the grief related symptoms, indicating that ethical bonds might be a protective factor in the family grief process.</p>","PeriodicalId":47794,"journal":{"name":"Omega-Journal of Death and Dying","volume":"1 1","pages":"1592-1608"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64995726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
