Chronic dysfunction after complicated grief is not rare and emphasizes the need to identify bereaved individuals at risk. Three months following bereavement, self-reported psychiatric and general health of 153 relatives of 74 suicides was worse than of 70 relatives of 39 natural deaths. Moreover, the felt need for professional help was higher among the former, even after adjustment for expectedness of death, sociodemographic differences, and relatives'/spouses' neuroticism. This suggests that suicide-bereaved individuals may constitute a high-risk group of mourners in need of targeted postvention.
复杂悲伤后的慢性功能障碍并不罕见,这凸显了识别有风险的丧亲者的必要性。在丧亲三个月后,74名自杀者的153名亲属自我报告的精神和总体健康状况比39名自然死亡者的70名亲属更差。此外,即使在对死亡的预期性、社会人口统计学差异以及亲属/配偶的神经质进行调整之后,前者对专业帮助的需求感更高。这表明,因自杀而丧亲的个体可能构成了一个需要有针对性的善后干预的高风险哀悼者群体。
