The aim of this article was to critically evaluate the author's role as a hospital-based palliative care nurse in supporting the adolescent child of a dying parent. The approach taken and the resources that were available have been reflected upon. The article explores whether it was possible to adapt the theory of bereavement support for those working with adults within the constraints of a busy acute hospital. It was found that although there were limitations to the amount of support the author could give within her role, there remains a window of opportunity for all healthcare professionals within this field to support parents in preparing their children for bereavement.
本文的目的是批判性地评估作为一名医院姑息治疗护士的作者，在支持一位临终父母的青春期子女时所扮演的角色。文中反思了所采取的方法以及可用的资源。本文探讨了在繁忙的急症医院的限制条件下，为从事成人丧亲之痛支持工作的人员调整丧亲之痛支持理论是否可行。研究发现，尽管作者在其角色范围内能够提供的支持数量有限，但该领域的所有医护人员仍有机会帮助父母让孩子做好面对丧亲之痛的准备。
