The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMCCC) Grief and Loss Program provides supportive care services during bereavement which is considered part of the care continuum. This program received 50 death notifications per month upon project initiation and currently receives approximately 125 per month. Initial program evaluation was conducted via a pilot survey of bereaved parents as well as verbal and written evaluations from the transdisciplinary staff of Patient and Family Support Services. Grief support prior to evaluation included mailings, phone calls as indicated, poorly attended bereavement support groups, and limited staff support. Based on program evaluation, grief support continues through the use of mail/e-mail and phone calls to those at risk for complicated grief Three to four gatherings per year are offered rather than monthly support groups, and connections to community resources are provided. The Comfort And Resources at End of Life (C-A-R-E) program was implemented to support and educate staff. Next steps include further program evaluation and potential research to examine best practices for the bereaved.
密歇根大学综合癌症中心（UMCCC）悲伤与失落项目在丧亲期间提供支持性护理服务，这被认为是护理连续体的一部分。该项目在项目启动时每月收到 50 份死亡通知，目前每月收到约 125 份通知。最初的项目评估是通过对丧亲父母的试点调查以及患者和家庭支持服务跨学科工作人员的口头和书面评估进行的。在评估之前，悲伤支持包括邮件、电话（如有需要）、参加人数较少的悲伤支持小组以及有限的工作人员支持。基于项目评估，通过邮件/电子邮件和电话向可能出现复杂悲伤的人提供悲伤支持。每年提供三到四次聚会，而不是每月的支持小组，并提供与社区资源的联系。实施临终关怀与资源（C-A-R-E）项目是为了支持和教育工作人员。下一步包括进一步的项目评估和潜在的研究，以研究丧亲者的最佳实践。
