Suicide is a major public health issue that increases the risk of suicide for those bereaved by suicide themselves. There is a lack of evaluation of the effectiveness and acceptability of suicide postvention services supporting those bereaved by suicide. This review aimed to assess evaluations of postvention services supporting those bereaved by suicide and the acceptability of methods of postvention. Searches of peer-reviewed literature identified 36 studies for inclusion. 22 studies evaluated specific postvention services, 14 evaluated models of postvention. Using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, mixed-methods and qualitative postvention evaluation and acceptability research produce high-quality studies. Studies rated as low quality reflect poor reporting, rather than ineffective services. Further evaluation of community-based postvention services within the UK is needed. This would evidence that services in the UK are effective in supporting those bereaved by suicide. Evaluation would benefit services in accessing funding, improve service development and provide holistic support.
自杀是一个主要的公共卫生问题，会增加自杀者家属自杀的风险。目前缺乏对支持自杀者家属的自杀预防后服务的有效性和可接受性的评估。本综述旨在评估支持自杀者家属的预防后服务的评估以及预防后方法的可接受性。对同行评议文献的检索确定了 36 项纳入研究。22 项研究评估了特定的预防后服务，14 项研究评估了预防后的模式。使用混合方法评估工具，混合方法和定性预防后评估和可接受性研究产生了高质量的研究。被评为低质量的研究反映了报告质量差，而不是服务无效。英国需要进一步评估基于社区的预防后服务。这将证明英国的服务在支持自杀者家属方面是有效的。评估将有助于服务获得资金，改善服务发展，并提供全面的支持。
