Psychological outcomes in children who have experienced the death of a parent are heterogeneous. One child in five is likely to develop psychiatric disorder. In the year following bereavement, children commonly display grief, distress, and dysphoria. Nonspecific emotional and behavioural difficulties among children are often reported by surviving parents and the bereaved children themselves. The highest rates of reported difficulties are found in boys. This review identifies the moderating and mediating variables that lead to some children being more vulnerable to disturbance than others following parental death. Limitations and gaps in the recent bereavement literature are identified. Theoretical and methodological advances that are necessary for a coherent account of childhood bereavement are outlined.
经历过父母一方死亡的儿童的心理结果是多种多样的。五分之一的儿童可能会患上精神疾病。在丧亲后的一年里，儿童通常会表现出悲伤、痛苦和烦躁不安。幸存的父母和失去亲人的孩子自己经常报告说，孩子们存在非特异性的情绪和行为问题。报告中出现问题比例最高的是男孩。这篇综述确定了一些调节变量和中介变量，这些变量导致一些儿童在父母死亡后比其他儿童更容易受到心理困扰。文中还指出了近期丧亲文献中的局限性和空白。概述了对童年丧亲进行连贯阐述所必需的理论和方法进展。
