This scoping review examined grief related to the incarceration of a family member in order to establish a theoretical framework. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Social Sciences Citation Index, Embase, PsycInfo, Psychology & Behavioral Sciences, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials & Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PILOTS, and Psychiatry Online was conducted. We extracted data on sample characteristics, study design, purpose of the study, grief measure used, grief term and definition used, and key qualitative and quantitative findings. Twenty-five studies met inclusion criteria. Most studies used the terms 'ambiguous loss' (n = 15) and 'disenfranchised grief' (n = 12); however, grief terms and their definitions varied. The review identified 14 unique terms and more than 20 definitions. In several cases, the same term was defined and conceptualized differently between studies. This review also revealed shortcomings in existing theoretical frameworks for grief related to incarceration. Grief related to losing a family member to incarceration involves two distinct constructs: non-traditional losses and cascading losses. Non-traditional losses (measured on a continuum) capture elements of a loss to incarceration that are unique (compared to a loss via death) or may not be socially accepted, whereas cascading losses refers to the ongoing losses that one may experience related to the incarceration (e.g., loss of financial stability). This framework provides the field with consistent constructs and definitions that can be used to further advance research in incarceration-related grief and facilitates an improved ability to replicate findings between laboratories.
本范围综述研究了与家庭成员入狱相关的悲伤情绪，以建立一个理论框架。我们对PubMed、社会科学引文索引、Embase、PsycInfo、心理学与行为科学、护理学与健康领域数据库、Cochrane对照试验中心注册库及Cochrane系统评价数据库、PILOTS和精神病学在线进行了全面检索。我们提取了有关样本特征、研究设计、研究目的、所使用的悲伤测量方法、所使用的悲伤术语及定义，以及关键的定性和定量研究结果的数据。25项研究符合纳入标准。大多数研究使用了“模糊丧失”（n = 15）和“被剥夺权利的悲伤”（n = 12）这两个术语；然而，悲伤术语及其定义各不相同。该综述确定了14个独特的术语和20多个定义。在一些情况下，不同研究对同一术语的定义和概念化有所不同。本综述还揭示了现有与入狱相关的悲伤理论框架中的缺陷。与家庭成员入狱相关的悲伤涉及两个不同的概念：非传统丧失和连锁丧失。非传统丧失（在一个连续体上进行测量）涵盖了入狱丧失中独特的（与因死亡导致的丧失相比）或可能不被社会接受的元素，而连锁丧失是指一个人可能因入狱而经历的持续丧失（例如，财务稳定性的丧失）。这个框架为该领域提供了一致的概念和定义，可用于进一步推进与入狱相关悲伤的研究，并有助于提高不同实验室之间重复研究结果的能力。
