Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

125
Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals.

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Bereavement Care
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Hospitalized patients, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), face limited family interaction due to contagious illnesses like COVID-19.
  • This isolation poses significant challenges to traditional end-of-life care and family support.
  • Nurses play a crucial role in bridging this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline culturally relevant virtual bereavement care strategies for nurses.
  • To provide practical guidance for supporting patients and families before, during, and after death in isolation.
  • To facilitate meaningful rituals despite physical separation.

Main Methods:

  • Development of culturally sensitive virtual communication protocols.
  • Integration of technology for family-centered care.
  • Nurse-led interventions for predeath, perideath, and postdeath support.

Main Results:

  • Nurses have successfully implemented virtual strategies to maintain family connections.
  • Culturally relevant approaches enhance the quality of virtual bereavement care.
  • Effective communication and ritual facilitation are possible even with patient isolation.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual bereavement care is an essential component of modern nursing practice.
  • Nurses can effectively support grieving families through innovative digital strategies.
  • Adapting care to isolation scenarios improves patient and family experiences at the end of life.
