Approximately 15% of the general population has complicated grief (CG). Understanding how older adults with CG describe their quality of life (QOL) is crucial to healthcare workers especially in hospice and mental health settings. Four themes for QOL emerged from the thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. From highest to lowest endorsement, they were Mental Function (sub-themes: mental health, joy, and happiness), Self-management (sub-themes: self-efficacy and self-agency), Social Support, and Physical Function. This study provides new information related to the relationships between CG and QOL among older adults. Multidimensional aspects of QOL can provide insight into delivering individualized patient- and family-centered care.
约 15%的普通人群患有复杂性悲伤（CG）。了解患有 CG 的老年人如何描述他们的生活质量（QOL）对于医疗保健工作者至关重要，尤其是在临终关怀和精神卫生机构中。半结构化访谈的主题分析得出了 QOL 的四个主题。从最高到最低的支持率，它们分别是心理功能（子主题：心理健康、快乐和幸福）、自我管理（子主题：自我效能和自我代理）、社会支持和身体功能。这项研究提供了与老年人 CG 和 QOL 之间关系相关的新信息。QOL 的多维方面可以深入了解提供个性化的以患者和家庭为中心的护理。
