摘要

背景:自杀是 15-29 岁年龄组第四大常见死因。目的:探讨因自杀而丧子或丧女的父母的经历,以及他们对可获得的服务的体验:这项现象学研究对十位 40-65 岁的父母进行了 1-2 次访谈,在所有 13 次访谈中,有七位母亲和三位父亲。他们的儿子和女儿去世时的年龄在 17-37 岁之间:对父母来说,丧子或丧女自杀是一种难以承受的人生经历,其特点是令人痛苦的生存体验和复杂的悲伤,他们面临着深刻的意义和生存问题,却没有答案,因为能够回答这些问题的人已不在人世。因此,他们陷入悲伤的时间长达 4 年。最初的经历是一种巨大的瘫痪冲击和不真实感。随后的时间里,他们变得模糊不清,麻木不仁。然后,他们的心理和身体都崩溃了,在很长一段时间里,他们觉得自己没有进行任何悲伤处理。他们亟需长期的专业创伤支持,并认为在很多情况下,他们不得不自己寻求帮助。他们希望医疗保健系统能张开双臂拥抱他们,提供帮助,并为他们提供信息和个性化支持:结论:必须制定标准操作程序,为自杀者父母提供更好的支持。在遭受此类重大创伤后,需要长期的专业支持和以创伤为重点的护理,提供此类支持有助于减少对健康的不良影响。护士和其他医疗专业人员必须更好地了解在这种情况下存在的痛苦。

Excruciating existential suffering and complicated grief: The essence of surviving the suicide of a son or daughter.

Background: Suicide is the fourth most common cause of death for the 15-29 age group. Research on the impact of suicide on parents is scarce and, therefore, poorly understood.

Aim: To explore parents' experiences who have lost a son or a daughter due to suicide and their experience of the services available to them.

Methods: This phenomenological study involved 1-2 interviews with ten parents aged 40-65, seven mothers and three fathers in all 13 interviews. The age range of their sons and daughters was 17-37 years when they died.

Results: For the parents, losing a son or a daughter to suicide is an overwhelming life experience characterised by Excruciating existential suffering and complicated grief where they are confronted with deep meaning-making and existential questions without answers since the person who can answer most of them is no longer alive. They, therefore, felt stuck in their grief for up to 4 years. The initial experience was an immense paralysing shock and sense of unreality. The subsequent period was a blur, and they were numb. Then, their psyche and bodies collapsed, and for a long time, they felt no grief processing was taking place. They sorely needed long-term professional trauma-informed support and felt that, in too many cases, they had to reach out for help themselves. They would have liked to see the healthcare system embrace them with more open arms, offer help and be met with information and individualised support.

Conclusions: Standard operating procedures must be installed to support suicide-bereaved parents better. Long-term professional support and trauma-focused care are required following such major trauma, and providing such support could help to reduce their adverse health impacts. Nurses and other health professionals must be better educated on existential suffering in this context.
