An unexpected death is a traumatic event for everyone affected by it, especially family members. The manner in which a family is told that a death has occurred has a profound effect on their grief and bereavement process. The task of the health care professional working with these patients and their families is to assist their healing by being skilled in the "death-telling" process. This article focuses on the project that developed a teaching tool and videotape used to educate individuals about the proper way to inform families of the death of a loved one.
意外死亡对于每个受其影响的人来说都是一场创伤性事件，尤其是家庭成员。告知家属亲人死亡的方式对他们的悲伤和丧亲过程有着深远的影响。与这些患者及其家属打交道的医护人员的任务是通过熟练掌握“告知死亡”的过程来帮助他们愈合伤痛。本文重点介绍了一个开发教学工具和录像带的项目，该工具和录像带用于教导人们如何以恰当的方式告知家属亲人的死亡。
