Children who are orphaned and vulnerable due to poverty, war, or disease (HIV/AIDS) may experience childhood traumatic grief. A qualitative phenomenological approach was implemented to explore and compare the lived experiences of orphaned children, adolescents, and caregivers who had used the Memory Book intervention at six children's homes in India, Kenya, and South Africa. Study findings revealed similar themes between the countries, with primary themes of identity and relationships, and secondary themes of coping, hope, and emotion. Findings suggest the value of Memory Book resources to encourage the preservation of a child's story and grief recovery that can be used for any child facing recovery from difficult life events.
因贫困、战争或疾病(艾滋病毒/艾滋病)而成为孤儿且易受伤害的儿童可能会经历童年创伤性悲伤。本研究采用质性现象学方法,对印度、肯尼亚和南非六个儿童之家使用记忆手册干预措施的孤儿、青少年及其照料者的生活经历进行了探索和比较。研究结果显示,这些国家之间存在相似的主题,主要主题是身份认同和人际关系,次要主题是应对、希望和情感。研究结果表明,记忆手册资源对于鼓励保存儿童的故事以及悲伤恢复具有价值,可用于任何面临从艰难生活事件中恢复过来的儿童。
