This study aims to identify the factors that influence Chinese professional caregivers' bereavement experiences after patient deaths. Through a content analysis, the study reanalyzed the qualitative data initially collected to understand the lived experiences of professional bereavement in Mainland China. Specifically, the study assessed semi-structured interview transcripts conducted with 24 Chinese physicians and nurses and generated 15 open codes, reflecting the influencing factors. These were further categorized into four themes: dying and death conditions, professional caregivers' characteristics, professional caregivers' involvement, and the bereaved family. The results revealed that professional bereavement experiences and the unveiled factors relate to both the personal and professional lives of the interviewees. Overall, the health care system and cultural backgrounds should be listed as influencing factors for professional bereavement experiences in addition to the aforementioned four.
本研究旨在确定影响中国专业护理人员在患者死亡后的丧亲经历的因素。通过内容分析，该研究重新分析了最初收集的定性数据，以了解中国大陆专业丧亲经历的实际情况。具体而言，该研究评估了对24名中国医生和护士进行的半结构化访谈记录，并生成了15个开放编码，反映了影响因素。这些因素进一步被归类为四个主题：死亡及临终状况、专业护理人员的特征、专业护理人员的参与以及丧亲家庭。结果显示，专业丧亲经历及所揭示的因素与受访者的个人生活和职业生活都相关。总体而言，除了上述四个因素外，医疗保健系统和文化背景也应列为影响专业丧亲经历的因素。
