Although much has been written about the treatment of bereaved relatives in emergency departments, very little has been published about their follow-up after they have left the department.
One model of follow-up is described, in which relatives are invited to a meeting in the department 4-6 weeks after their loss. In this model, it is emphasised that the follow-up is not a counselling session but an opportunity to ask questions, and an audit of the service is presented.
It is suggested that the provision of information is theoretically beneficial to the bereavement process.
尽管关于急诊科对丧亲家属的治疗已有诸多著述,但关于他们离开科室后的随访却鲜有发表。
描述了一种随访模式,即邀请家属在丧亲4至6周后到科室参加会议。在这种模式中,强调随访不是咨询会议,而是一个提问的机会,并展示了对该服务的审核情况。
建议提供信息在理论上对丧亲过程有益。
