Describe changes in mothers' and fathers' grief from 1 to 13 months after infant/child neonatal/pediatric intensive care unit death and identify factors related to their grief.
Mothers ( = 130) and fathers ( = 52) of 140 children (newborn-18 years) completed the Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist at 1, 3, 6, and 13 months post-death.
Grief decreased from 3 to 13 months for mothers and from 3 to 6 months for fathers. Grief was more intense for: mothers of deceased adolescents and mothers whose child was declared brain dead.
Mothers' and fathers' grief intensity may not coincide, resulting in different needs during the 13 months after infant/child death.
描述婴儿/儿童在新生儿/儿科重症监护病房死亡后1至13个月内母亲和父亲的悲伤变化,并确定与他们悲伤相关的因素。
140名儿童(新生儿至18岁)的母亲(n = 130)和父亲(n = 52)在孩子死亡后的1、3、6和13个月完成了霍根悲伤反应清单。
母亲的悲伤从3个月到13个月减少,父亲的悲伤从3个月到6个月减少。对于以下人群,悲伤更为强烈:已故青少年的母亲以及孩子被宣布脑死亡的母亲。
母亲和父亲的悲伤强度可能不一致,导致在婴儿/儿童死亡后的13个月内有不同的需求。
