Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of a novel cancer bereavement group. Twenty-seven participants attended a sixsession cancer bereavement therapeutic group. Data were collected at baseline, intervention completion, and three-month follow-up. Grief intensity and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety were reduced postintervention, and self-compassion increased. At follow-up, improvement remained for grief, PTSD, and depression. A small quasi-experimental waiting-list comparison group showed no change on any measure between baseline and waiting-list end. This study provides preliminary evidence that a brief therapeutic group is an effective intervention for cancer bereavement.

癌症丧亲之痛治疗小组的有效性。

这项研究检验了一种新型癌症丧亲组的有效性。27名参与者参加了六个疗程的癌症丧亲治疗组。在基线、干预完成和三个月随访时收集数据。干预后，悲伤强度和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)、抑郁和焦虑症状减少，自我同情增加。在随访中，悲伤、创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症状仍有改善。一个小的准实验等候名单比较组在基线和等候名单结束之间没有任何变化。本研究提供了初步的证据，证明一个简短的治疗小组是对癌症丧亲的有效干预。
