Abstract

This study assessed pediatric oncology professionals’ attitudes and attendance at patient funerals. Many professionals endorsed some level of agreement that funeral attendance respects professional boundaries. Nearly all pediatric oncology professionals (89.2%) reported attending a patient funeral at least once, a rate significantly higher than estimates in other specialties (p <.001). Attitudes and rates of attendance were slightly higher in older physicians. While periodic funeral attendance may have been somewhat normative in this sample, further reflection and research is needed to ensure the risks and benefits of involvement in funerals and other family rituals and practices are better understood.

参加病人葬礼作为儿科肿瘤学家的后续实践

本研究评估儿科肿瘤专业人员对病人葬礼的态度及出席率。许多专业人士在某种程度上同意，参加葬礼尊重职业界限。几乎所有的儿科肿瘤学专业人员(89.2%)报告至少参加过一次病人的葬礼，这一比例明显高于其他专业的估计(p < 0.001)。老年医生的态度和出勤率略高。虽然在这个样本中，定期参加葬礼可能在某种程度上是规范的，但需要进一步的反思和研究，以确保更好地了解参与葬礼和其他家庭仪式和做法的风险和益处。
