BACKGROUND: When a loved one dies of cancer, complicated grief (CG) may occur because of the trauma associated with family caregivers' perceptions of their loved one's suffering, either from advanced cancer or from side effects of cancer treatment. .
OBJECTIVES: This article provides an overview of CG and existing interventions for family caregivers who may be at risk for CG following the loss of a loved one and the implications for oncology nurses who provide emotional support and guidance. .
METHODS: Current evidence related to the treatment of CG and information to assist with identification of individuals at risk for CG are presented, as well as resources for oncology nurses who encounter individuals who are at high risk for, or who are experiencing, CG. .
Although therapy interventions for CG have been shown to be effective forms of treatment, these therapies are not widely available and often require an extended treatment period to yield results. Oncology nurses can provide early interventions, such as referrals to supportive care services and mental health professionals to facilitate effective treatment.
当亲人死于癌症时,由于家庭照顾者对亲人遭受的痛苦(无论是晚期癌症还是癌症治疗的副作用)的认知所带来的创伤,可能会发生复杂性悲伤(CG)。
本文概述了复杂性悲伤以及针对可能在亲人去世后有患复杂性悲伤风险的家庭照顾者的现有干预措施,以及对提供情感支持和指导的肿瘤护士的影响。
介绍了与复杂性悲伤治疗相关的当前证据以及有助于识别有患复杂性悲伤风险个体的信息,还提供了针对遇到有患复杂性悲伤高风险或正在经历复杂性悲伤个体的肿瘤护士的资源。
尽管已证明针对复杂性悲伤的治疗干预是有效的治疗形式,但这些治疗方法并不广泛可用,且通常需要较长的治疗期才能产生效果。肿瘤护士可以提供早期干预,如转介至支持性护理服务和心理健康专业人员处,以促进有效治疗。
