Abstract
This study aimed to shed light on the initial-stage bereavement experiences of an individual bereaved by suicide, at three months from the loss of his spouse to suicide. A semi-structured in-depth interview was conducted with the individual, a man in his thirties. The data were analyzed using qualitative assimilation analysis, based on the Assimilation Model and the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The APES ratings of the interview revealed that the individual's bereavement was associated with the earlier stages of APES (all scoring under 3.5). In addition, the swift and frequent fluctuations in the APES ratings gave indications that the bereavement was unstable and complicated. It is suggested that mental health professionals could use APES to evaluate suicide bereavement and take note of the APES evaluations in clinical interventions.
这项研究的目的是阐明一个自杀的人在失去配偶三个月后的最初阶段的丧亲经历。对这位30多岁的男子进行了半结构化的深度采访。采用同化模型(assimilation Model)和问题经验同化量表(assimilation of problem Experiences Scale, APES)进行定性同化分析。访谈的猿类评分显示,个人的丧亲之痛与猿类的早期阶段有关(所有得分均低于3.5)。此外,ape评级的迅速和频繁波动表明丧亲之痛是不稳定和复杂的。建议心理卫生专业人员可以使用类人猿评估自杀性丧亲,并在临床干预中注意类人猿评估。
