Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to explore grandparents’ experiences of grief after the death of a grandchild, their perception of socially supportive behavior as well as their satisfaction with a bereavement support care. A six-session bereavement support group was implemented, followed by a cross-sectional survey with open-ended questions. The death happened mostly in the last 2 years (26, 90%). The findings revealed the presence of grief (mean score of 67, SD 13) and existing perception of socially supportive behaviors (mean score of 79, SD 23) after participation in the bereavement group. The thematic analysis showed three themes of ‘We are feeling it; There are ways to heal and return to a different normal; We want to help our family’. This study adds to the existing literature about the experience of grandparents coping with grief, explores some of their challenges, and needs after the death of a grandchild.
评估祖父母丧亲支持小组在儿科姑息治疗临终关怀
摘要本研究旨在探讨祖父母在孙辈去世后的悲伤经历、他们对社会支持行为的感知以及他们对丧亲支持护理的满意度。实施了一个为期六次的丧亲支持小组,随后进行了一项带有开放式问题的横断面调查。死亡主要发生在近2年(26.90%)。结果显示,参加丧亲组后,悲伤的存在(平均得分为67分,SD 13)和社会支持行为的感知(平均得分为79分,SD 23)。主题分析显示了三个主题:“我们正在感受它;有很多方法可以治愈并回到不同的正常状态;我们想帮助我们的家庭。”本研究增加了关于祖父母应对悲伤的经验的现有文献,探讨了他们在孙子去世后的一些挑战和需求。
