This analysis addresses the controversial question of whether disclosure of a significant other's traumatic death cause is associated with mental health outcomes. Consistent with the limited previous research, this data, collected from 131 suicide bereaved, 10 exclusively drug death bereaved, and six other bereaved respondents, showed fewer grief difficulties and better self-rated mental health among those inclined to openly disclose a significant other's death cause, compared to those who feared incurring shame and embarrassment from doing so. Regression analyses suggested that the tendency to openly discuss the death was the single most powerful correlate to explaining variations in grief difficulties.
本分析探讨了一个有争议的问题，即披露亲人的创伤性死因是否与心理健康结果有关。与有限的先前研究一致，这项数据是从 131 名自杀丧亲者、10 名仅因药物死亡丧亲者和 6 名其他丧亲者中收集的，结果显示，与那些害怕因此而感到羞耻和尴尬的人相比，那些倾向于公开披露亲人死因的人在悲伤困难和自我评估的心理健康方面较少。回归分析表明，公开讨论死亡的倾向是解释悲伤困难差异的唯一最有力的相关因素。
