This study explored the dimensionality of grief with a sample (n = 180) of caregivers of deceased loved ones; utilizing a positive grief scale, additional data were collected about perceptions of social worker practice behaviors in end-of-life care. Results revealed the presence of both positive and negative aspects of grief. Supportive social work practice behaviors at the end of life were present at least 52.2% of the time and specific practices were analyzed as to their association with positive or negative grief reactions. Results from this study suggest that grief is a multidimensional process and that social work practice behaviors can support positive aspects of grief with clients in all fields of practice.
本研究以180名已故亲人的照料者为样本，探讨了悲伤的维度；使用积极悲伤量表，还收集了关于临终关怀中社会工作实践行为认知的其他数据。结果显示悲伤存在积极和消极两个方面。临终时支持性的社会工作实践行为至少占比52.2%，并对特定实践与积极或消极悲伤反应的关联进行了分析。本研究结果表明，悲伤是一个多维度的过程，并且社会工作实践行为可以在所有实践领域中支持服务对象悲伤的积极方面。
