Complicated grief is a disabling condition that occurs when the natural grief process is disturbed or prolonged. Research demonstrates that complicated grief is more prevalent following the sudden or violent loss of a child. Despite the high incidence of accidental death worldwide, little research has focused on parental grief trajectories following this form of traumatic loss. A systematic review was conducted to explore parental bereavement outcomes following accidental death. Studies were included if they specifically examined complicated grief in parents bereaved by the accidental death of their child. A total of 767 articles were identified and seven studies met the eligibility criteria for review. Poorer outcomes were identified in relation to the mode of death, relationship type, time post-loss, perceived support, perceived justice and comorbidities. Results of the current study may be used to inform the development of clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of complicated grief.
复杂性悲伤是一种致残状况，当自然的悲伤过程受到干扰或延长时就会出现。研究表明，在孩子突然或暴力离世后，复杂性悲伤更为普遍。尽管全球意外死亡发生率很高，但很少有研究关注这种创伤性损失后父母的悲伤轨迹。进行了一项系统综述，以探讨意外死亡后父母的丧亲结果。如果研究专门考察因孩子意外死亡而丧亲的父母的复杂性悲伤，则纳入这些研究。共识别出767篇文章，七项研究符合综述的纳入标准。在死亡方式、关系类型、丧亲后时间、感知到的支持、感知到的公正和共病方面发现了较差的结果。本研究结果可用于为复杂性悲伤治疗的临床实践指南的制定提供信息。
