Approximately three fourths of the parents whose children were pronounced dead in one emergency department maintained contact with a professional for at least a month following the death. Families whose children died of trauma did not maintain contact as well as those whose children died of anticipated death, sudden infant death syndrome, or infection. Strong family support system, employed parents, and appropriate response at the time of death all correlated with continued contact with a professional and adequate coping after death (P values all less than 0.04). Prior professional support was a less significant factor in follow-up, and disorganized, isolated parents with histories of poor social adjustment were far less likely to maintain contact.
在某急诊科被宣告孩子死亡的家长中，约四分之三在孩子死后至少一个月内与专业人士保持联系。孩子死于创伤的家庭不如孩子死于预期死亡、婴儿猝死综合征或感染的家庭那样与专业人士保持联系。强大的家庭支持系统、有工作的家长以及在孩子死亡时的恰当应对，都与继续与专业人士保持联系及死后的充分应对相关（P值均小于0.04）。先前的专业支持在后续跟进中是一个不太重要的因素，而那些社会适应能力差、生活杂乱且孤立的家长保持联系的可能性要小得多。
