Abstract

The management and delivery of bereavement care and support services present practical challenges. A national-level, qualitative study was conducted to examine the current practices in Singapore. The study's purpose was to inform bereavement care practices by drawing from perspectives of service providers offering death, dying and bereavement-related services. This qualitative study was undertaken using focused group discussion (FGD) with service providers from the health, social and death-related sectors. Ten FGDs were conducted with a total of 69 participants. Thematic analysis yield two themes - identifying challenging circumstances to provide bereavement care and strategies for dealing with the gaps in service delivery. The service providers' experiential knowledge could be borrowed to strengthen the current bereavement care practices for the good of the community. The findings have informed the reconceptualization of a local bereavement care and support service model, with the public health model as the recommended underpinning conceptual framework.

重新构想丧亲护理实践：从服务提供商那里获得的见解。

丧亲护理和支持服务的管理和提供带来了实际挑战。进行了一项国家一级的定性研究，以审查新加坡目前的做法。该研究的目的是通过从提供死亡、垂死和丧亲相关服务的服务提供者的角度，为丧亲护理实践提供信息。这项定性研究是通过与卫生、社会和死亡相关部门的服务提供商进行重点小组讨论（FGD）进行的。共进行了10次FGD，共有69名参与者。专题分析产生了两个主题——确定提供丧亲护理的挑战性环境和解决服务提供差距的战略。为了社区的利益，可以借鉴服务提供者的经验知识来加强当前的丧亲护理实践。研究结果为重新定义当地丧亲护理和支持服务模式提供了依据，公共卫生模式是建议的基本概念框架。
