Abstract
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。
