Abstract

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.

“时间能治愈一切创伤吗？”药物死亡丧亲家庭成员长期悲伤的患病率和预测因素：一项横断面研究。

尽管与毒品有关的死亡率不断上升，但毒品有关的死亡对失去亲人的家庭成员的影响却很少得到调查。本研究旨在评估长期悲伤(PG)症状在drd后失去亲人的家庭成员中的患病率，确定PG的预测因素，并检查症状水平是否随着时间的推移而降低。对父母(n = 93)、兄弟姐妹(n = 78)、子女(n = 24)和其他家庭成员(n = 39)的调查数据(n = 234)进行横断面设计。进行了描述性分析、多元线性回归和方差分析。60名家庭成员(26%)在DRDs后出现高水平PG症状(父母31.2%，兄弟姐妹21.8%，儿童20.9%)。研究发现，高水平的症状与“失去亲人几个月后”、“有自杀念头”和“远离他人”之间存在最强烈的联系。方差分析显示，时间并不总是“治愈所有的创伤”，一到两年前失去亲人的人PG症状最高。
