Abstract

With 7.3% of children under the age of 18 experiencing the death of a parent and more who experience a loss of a loved one bereavement is a common experience in the lives of children and youth. The current study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week, school-based grief group treatment program in reducing symptoms of grief, dysregulation, and improving social support. A total of 296 children and youth (age 11-18) participated in the grief programming provided by a local hospice agency. With a retention rate of 76% the researchers identified a significant reduction in grief symptomology, frequency of emotion dysregulation, and a significant increase in perceived social support from pre- to post-8-week school-based grief programming. A reduction in intensity of dysregulation was not significant. Implications for school personnel and parental support of children and youth experiencing loss are discussed.

以学校为本的悲伤小组支持童年丧亲之痛。
7.3%的18岁以下儿童经历了父母的死亡,更多的儿童经历了失去亲人的痛苦。丧亲之痛是儿童和青年生活中的常见经历。目前的研究试图评估为期8周的学校悲伤小组治疗计划在减少悲伤症状、调节障碍和改善社会支持方面的有效性。共有296名儿童和青年(11-18岁)参加了当地一家临终关怀机构提供的悲伤节目。在76%的保留率下,研究人员发现,从8周前到8周后,悲伤症状、情绪失调频率显著降低,感知到的社会支持显著增加。失调强度的降低并不显著。讨论了对学校工作人员和父母对遭受损失的儿童和青年的支持的影响。
