Mourning is a coping-with-loss stage that prevents grief from becoming pathologic, i.e., complicated grief (CG) syndrome and persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD), recently included in international classification systems. During the COVID-19 pandemic, to contain virus spread, several countries adopted/adopt the prohibition of mourning rituals (funeral ceremonies/visiting to cemeteries), so that people were/are unable to give their hospitalized relatives the latest goodbye. Such measures can lead vulnerable individuals to develop CG and PCBD. We critically discuss literature-based risk factors for and protective resources against the onset of these conditions since the start of the pandemic and analyze prevention strategies to inform public health programs.
哀悼是一种应对丧失的阶段，可以防止悲伤变得病态，即复杂悲伤（CG）综合征和持续性复杂丧亲障碍（PCBD），最近已被纳入国际分类系统。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，为了控制病毒传播，一些国家禁止（葬礼/参观墓地）举行哀悼仪式，因此人们无法与住院的亲人做最后的道别。这些措施可能导致脆弱个体患上 CG 和 PCBD。自大流行开始以来，我们就基于文献对这些疾病的发病风险因素和保护资源进行了批判性讨论，并分析了预防策略，以为公共卫生计划提供信息。
