This study examined Swedish suicide bereaved individuals' use of different resources in their grief work and how they value these resources. The material consisted of a web-based survey, which was analyzed with quantitative methods. The results showed that the psychosocial ill-health was severe among the suicide bereaved participants and that a majority used digital resources in their grief work. The propensity to engage in online support groups or memorial websites was not predicted by the severity of psychosocial consequences following the suicide. However, multiple regressions showed that higher online support group activity predicted more satisfaction with current psychosocial health, while memorial websites seemed to have the opposite effect. This study not only indicates that some digital resources, for example, online support groups, may be an effective way of coping with grief related to suicide loss, but also suggests that memorial websites may increase rumination and in this way cause emotional distress.
本研究考察了瑞典自杀丧亲者在悲伤工作中使用不同资源的情况,以及他们对这些资源的重视程度。材料包括一个基于网络的调查,采用定量方法进行分析。结果表明,自杀丧亲者的心理社会健康状况严重,大多数人在悲伤工作中使用数字资源。参与在线支持小组或纪念网站的倾向并不取决于自杀后的心理社会后果的严重程度。然而,多元回归表明,更高的在线支持小组活动预示着对当前心理社会健康的更高满意度,而纪念网站似乎有相反的效果。本研究不仅表明,一些数字资源,例如在线支持小组,可能是应对与自杀损失相关的悲伤的有效方法,还表明纪念网站可能会增加沉思,从而导致情绪困扰。
