The Grieving Nursing Diagnoses in the Primary Healthcare Setting
This study estimated grieving prevalence in primary care, finding many records lacked details. Improved electronic health records (EHR) are crucial for identifying those at risk of complicated grieving.
Area of Science:
- Epidemiology
- Nursing Science
- Primary Health Care
Background:
- Grieving is a common experience, with complicated grieving posing a significant challenge.
- Primary care settings are often the first point of contact for individuals experiencing loss.
Purpose of the Study:
- To estimate the prevalence of Grieving, risk for Complicated Grieving, and Complicated Grieving.
- To explore the utility of electronic health records (EHR) for studying grief epidemiology.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective epidemiological study design.
- Analysis of data from 9,063 electronic health records (EHR).
Main Results:
- 84% of records lacked diagnostic specificity for grief.
- A higher frequency of complicated grieving was observed in bereaved individuals.
Conclusions:
- EHR data offers potential for grief research but requires improved record adequacy.
- Establishing an epidemiological basis for nursing diagnoses of grief in primary care is essential.
