This article describes the largest evaluation of a UK child bereavement service to date. Change was assessed using conventional statistical tests as well as clinical significance methodology. Consistent with the fact that the intervention was offered on a universal, preventative basis, bereaved young people experienced a statistically significant, small to medium-sized decrease in symptoms over time. This change was equivalent across child age and gender. Type of bereavement had a slight impact on change when rated by parents. Potential clinical implications are highlighted, and various limitations are discussed that we hope to address using an experimental design in future research.
本文介绍了迄今为止对英国一项儿童丧亲服务进行的规模最大的评估。采用传统统计测试以及临床意义方法对变化进行了评估。鉴于该干预措施是在普遍预防的基础上提供的，随着时间的推移，丧亲的年轻人在症状方面出现了具有统计学意义的、中小程度的减轻。这种变化在儿童年龄和性别方面是等同的。父母评定时，丧亲类型对变化有轻微影响。文中强调了潜在的临床意义，并讨论了各种局限性，我们希望在未来的研究中采用实验设计来解决这些问题。
