This paper describes an intervention study carried out with 45 families (83 children) where one of the parents died, leaving a child or children under 16 years of age. The families were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups, the treatment group being seen by a family therapist for approximately six sessions within 3-5 months of bereavement. All the families were contacted approximately 1 year after and again 2 years after the bereavement and a structured interview was carried out, covering parental health and psychiatric state, the children's health and behaviour, and the death and events surrounding it. At follow-up, there was some indication that the treatment group had benefited from the brief intervention. The implications for practice are discussed.
本文描述了一项针对45个家庭（83名儿童）开展的干预研究，这些家庭中父母一方去世，留下16岁及以下的一个或多个孩子。这些家庭被随机分为治疗组和对照组，治疗组在丧亲后的3至5个月内由家庭治疗师进行约六次问诊。在丧亲后约1年和2年时联系了所有家庭，并进行了结构化访谈，内容涵盖父母的健康和精神状态、孩子的健康和行为，以及死亡事件及其周边情况。随访时发现有迹象表明治疗组从这一简短干预中获益。文中还讨论了该研究对实际应用的启示。
