Thirty-four quantitative and 9 qualitative studies are reviewed to indicate current understanding of the nature and impact of guilt in bereavement. This overview suggests that guilt is especially prevalent among some vulnerable subgroups, and it is associated with maladaptive health outcomes. Being male, longer bereavement time, and good end-of life experience seem to be associated with less guilt feelings. However, definition ambiguity, measurement difficulties, and cultural insensitivity are evident in studies. Therefore, a multidimensional conceptualization of guilt and a structural model to guide future investigation of this phenomenon in the bereavement context is proposed.
本文回顾了 34 项定量研究和 9 项定性研究，旨在阐明当前对丧亲之痛中内疚的本质和影响的理解。这一综述表明，内疚感在一些弱势群体中尤为普遍，而且与适应不良的健康结果有关。男性、丧亲时间较长和良好的临终体验似乎与较少的内疚感有关。然而，研究中明显存在定义模糊、测量困难和文化不敏感等问题。因此，本文提出了一个内疚的多维概念化和一个结构模型，以指导在丧亲背景下对这一现象的未来研究。
