This paper, the second of two, reports the results of a systematic writing program used as a tool in the grief process. The study was based on a specifically developed program, which has been described and discussed previously in Part 1.
The study had a qualitative research design, with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The research tool of the study, a writing program, was developed and implemented. A purposive sample was used, consisting of 13 bereaved adults.
From an analysis of all of the texts written during the program, we drew four conclusions. Writing yields new thoughts and increases knowledge. Writing is stressful as well as a relief. Writing awakens and preserves memories. The value of writing is related to the forms, ways, and situations of writing.
We have discussed handling grief with a unique process. Our findings reveal a great breadth and variation in the experiences associated with different writing forms, ways of writing, and writing situations. This implies that flexibility and individualization are important when implementing grief management programs like this. We believe that a structured writing program can be helpful in promoting thought activity and as a tool to gain increased coherence and understanding of the grief process. This writing program may be a valuable guide for program development and future research.
本文是系列文章中的第二篇,报告了一项作为悲伤处理过程工具的系统性写作计划的结果。该研究基于一个专门开发的计划,该计划在第一篇中已有描述和讨论。
本研究采用质性研究设计,采用诠释现象学方法。开发并实施了该研究的工具——写作计划。采用目的抽样法,样本包括13名成年丧亲者。
通过对计划期间所写的所有文本进行分析,我们得出了四个结论。写作能产生新的想法并增加知识。写作既带来压力又能缓解压力。写作能唤醒并留存记忆。写作的价值与写作的形式、方式和情境有关。
我们讨论了用一种独特的过程来处理悲伤。我们的研究结果揭示了与不同写作形式、写作方式和写作情境相关的经历具有很大的广度和差异。这意味着在实施这样的悲伤管理计划时,灵活性和个性化很重要。我们认为,一个结构化的写作计划有助于促进思维活动,并作为一种工具来增强对悲伤过程的连贯性和理解。这个写作计划可能是计划开发和未来研究的宝贵指南。
