在过去的研究中，特别是从经验的角度来看，注册护理助理（CNAs）在养老院居民死亡后所经历的悲伤很少受到关注。本定量研究的目的是探讨在疗养院环境下的CNAs的悲伤经历，并识别和评估可能介导或加剧悲伤的因素。来自12个疗养院的参与者（N = 136）完成了自我管理的调查。回归分析显示，被剥夺权利的悲伤程度较低的cna报告的个人成长水平较高，而对死亡更恐惧的cna和在工作中死亡较少的cna报告的复杂悲伤水平较高。从业人员和未来的研究人员可能会从这些发现中受益，通过构建和实施干预措施，旨在有效地解放这一重要医疗工作者群体的悲伤经历。
The grief that certified nursing assistants (CNAs) experience following the deaths of nursing home residents has received scant attention in past research, particularly from an empirical standpoint. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the grief experiences of CNAs in the nursing home setting and to identify and evaluate factors that may mediate or exacerbate grief. Participants (N = 136) from 12 nursing homes completed self-administered surveys. Regression analyses revealed that CNAs with lower levels of perceived disenfranchised grief reported higher levels of personal growth, while CNAs with greater fear of death and those who experienced fewer deaths on the job reported higher levels of complicated grief. Practitioners and future researchers may benefit from these findings through the construction and implementation of interventions aimed at effectively enfranchising the grief experiences of this important group of healthcare workers.
