Bonanno's Theory of Grieving01:17

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

63
Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Continuing Care

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.

It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

60
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Healthcare Agencies I01:18

Healthcare Agencies I

Healthcare agencies provide healthcare services to people. In the United States, voluntary agencies are often non-profit centers sponsored by donations, grants, or fundraisers. One such organization is Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly and homebound. The American Heart Association and the American Lung Association are other non-profit community organizations. Doctors and nurses are frequently active members of these organizations, which offer health checks and educational...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Professional Practices
  • End-of-Life Care
  • Bereavement Support

Background:

  • Bereavement support is crucial for families experiencing the death of a loved one.
  • While healthcare professionals offer support during death, follow-up care for bereaved families is often lacking.
  • This study addresses the gap in understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives on bereavement support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine and contrast the views and practices of healthcare professionals regarding bereavement support.
  • To identify barriers and training needs for effective bereavement care.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, cross-sectional survey was administered to registered nurses, physicians, social workers, respiratory therapists, and unlicensed assistive personnel.
  • Participants worked in intensive care, step-down, and emergency departments.
  • Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis test.

Main Results:

  • Only 6.5% of 123 surveyed healthcare professionals followed up with bereaved families post-death, despite 64.2% providing support during the death.
  • Physicians, social workers, and registered nurses were more likely to provide support than unlicensed assistive personnel and respiratory therapists (P = .001).
  • Many professionals (54.5%) desired formal training, citing lack of training, time, and resources as primary barriers. Comfort levels varied, with respiratory therapists reporting lower comfort (P = .002).

Conclusions:

  • Findings underscore a significant need for enhanced bereavement support protocols and interventions.
  • Understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives is vital for developing effective educational materials and training programs.
  • Addressing barriers like inadequate training and resources is essential for improving end-of-life care and bereavement services.
