与丧亲受访者的死后访谈是研究人员评估临终关怀质量或调查人们在生命结束时的经历的重要工具。尽管死后访谈对我们了解生命最后几个月的重要性,但所收集信息的有效性却很少受到关注。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了一些现有的信息,从认知心理学的证据以及从姑息治疗研究。认知心理学的研究结果表明,记忆是一个动态过程,受情绪状态和个体在事件发生时和回忆时的观点的影响。因此,需要进一步研究资料和研究问题,以便更好地了解情况,丧失亲人的类型是死者的有效替代品。(C)美国癌症疼痛缓解委员会,2001。
After-death interviews with bereaved respondents are an important tool in the repertoire of researchers evaluating the quality of end-of-life care or investigating the experiences of people at the end of life. Despite the importance of after-death interviews to our understanding of the last months of life, the validity of the information gathered has received little attention. In this article, we review some of the available information, drawing on evidence from cognitive psychology as well as from palliative care studies. Findings from cognitive psychology indicate that memory is a dynamic process, influenced by emotion state and the individual's perspective at the time of the event and at recall. Further research is therefore needed to of information and research questions for which understand better the circumstances, types of bereaved relatives are valid surrogates for people who have died.
