在瑞士伯尔尼法医科学研究所对死者尸体进行法医解剖后，对死者亲属进行了问卷调查。其目的是调查亲属对法医调查程序的态度，特别是对法医尸检。绝大多数亲属对法医尸检持肯定或无所谓的态度。他们对尸检结果表示极大的兴趣，并希望了解情况。得出的结论是，在尸体解剖前提供的信息对于更好地理解很重要，如果提供适当，可以提高亲属对法医调查的接受和合作。相比之下，在尸体解剖前缺乏信息和关于尸体解剖结果的信息可能会给死者家属造成进一步的痛苦。法医尸检对亲属有很大的好处，可以帮助他们科普悲惨的损失。
Relatives of deceased persons, on whose body a forensic autopsy had been performed at the Institute of Forensic Science, Bern, Switzerland, were interrogated by a questionnaire. The aim was to investigate the attitude of relatives toward medicolegal investigation procedures in general and toward forensic autopsy in particular. A great majority of the relatives showed a positive or indifferent attitude toward a forensic autopsy. They showed a great interest in autopsy results and wished to be informed. It was concluded that information given before the autopsy is important for better understanding and can, if properly given, improve the relatives’ acceptance and collaboration regarding forensic investigations. By contrast, a lack of information before the autopsy and about the autopsy results can cause further suffering on behalf of the bereaved. A forensic autopsy can be of great benefit for relatives and can help them to cope with a tragic loss.
