Aspects of the socioeconomic costs of bereavement in Scotland were estimated using 3 sets of data. Spousal bereavement was associated with increased mortality and longer hospital stays, with additional annual cost of around £20 million. Cost of bereavement coded consultations in primary care was estimated at around £2.0 million annually. In addition, bereaved people were significantly less likely to be employed in the year of and 2 years after bereavement than non-bereaved matched controls, but there were no significant differences in income between bereaved people and matched controls before and after bereavement.
利用3组数据估算了苏格兰丧亲之痛造成的社会经济成本。配偶丧亲与死亡率上升和住院时间延长有关，每年额外成本约为2000万英镑。初级保健中丧亲编码咨询的成本估计每年约为200万英镑。此外，与未丧亲的匹配对照组相比，丧亲者在丧亲当年及之后两年就业的可能性显著降低，但丧亲者与匹配对照组在丧亲前后的收入没有显著差异。
