Several previous studies suggested that primary care physicians can provide important bereavement assistance to survivors of suicide, yet no study has investigated whether suicide-bereaved patients perceive their physicians as helpful. Contacting bereavement communities on social media, we collected online survey data from 146 bereaved respondents reporting suicides causing them severe emotional distress. Data analysis suggested that nearly half (48%) of the respondents encountered positive, help-offering responses from physicians, compared to 10% whose responses were deemed as negative. Analysis of our data suggested that loss survivors' perceptions of a physician's helping or reproachful responses were associated with differences in grief difficulties and mental health distress.
先前有几项研究表明，初级保健医生可以为自杀幸存者提供重要的丧亲援助，但尚无研究调查自杀幸存者是否认为医生有帮助。我们通过社交媒体联系了丧亲团体，从 146 名报告因自杀而遭受严重情绪困扰的丧亲受访者那里收集了在线调查数据。数据分析表明，近一半（48%）的受访者得到了医生的积极帮助，而 10%的受访者的回应则被认为是消极的。对我们数据的分析表明，失去亲人的人对医生的帮助或责备反应的看法与悲伤困难和心理健康困扰的差异有关。
