Eleven healthy adolescents, ages 13-18, were followed through the year following parental death. Semi-structured interviews were used in combination with standardized measures to complete in-depth evaluations at 6 weeks, 7 months and 13 months following parental death. Teacher reports and parent interviews and reports provided additional information. Initial responses were characterized by intense emotional, cognitive, physical and behavioral reactions associated with impaired school performance, strained peer relations, and sleep disturbances. Stress related symptoms were prominent and sustained. Overall, subjects reported a higher sustained degree of distress than adult children following the loss of a parent. Prominent themes are reviewed. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
11名年龄在13至18岁之间的健康青少年在父母去世后的一年里接受了跟踪调查。采用半结构化访谈并结合标准化测量方法，在父母去世后的6周、7个月和13个月进行深入评估。教师报告、家长访谈及报告提供了更多信息。初期反应的特点是强烈的情绪、认知、身体和行为反应，伴有学习成绩下降、同伴关系紧张和睡眠障碍。与压力相关的症状很突出且持续存在。总体而言，与成年子女在失去父母后的情况相比，这些研究对象报告的痛苦持续程度更高。文中对突出的主题进行了综述，并讨论了未来研究的意义和方向。
