研究了丧亲支持小组（BSGs）的成员丧亲适应的样本中的127个寡妇和鳏夫，其中37人参加了BSGs，在第一个18个月的丧亲之痛。在18个月的课程中，BSG成员和非成员在抑郁、愤怒、焦虑、主观压力和精神药物使用方面都表现出显着下降。多元回归分析显示，无论是团体成员还是团体参与程度与这些变量的显着更大的下降，人口统计变量，初始水平的困扰，并认为社会支持的水平后，占。然而，在进一步的探索性分析中，参加BSG会议的次数导致了愤怒水平和精神药物使用的显着差异，并且在解释主观压力差异时与感知的社会支持相互作用。在何种程度上，这些研究结果质疑共同的假设BSGs的疗效和对未来研究的影响进行了讨论。
Examined the contribution of membership in bereavement support groups (BSGs) to bereavement adaptation in a sample of 127 widows and widowers, 37 of whom participated in BSGs, during the first 18 months of their bereavement. Both BSG members and nonmembers exhibited significant declines in depression, anger, anxiety, subjective stress, and psychotropic medication usage over the 18-month course. Multiple regression analyses revealed that neither group membership nor level of group involvement was associated with significantly greater declines in these variables, after demographic variables, initial levels of distress, and levels of perceived social support were accounted for. In further exploratory analyses, however, the number of BSG meetings attended accounted for significant amounts of variance in levels of anger and psychotropic medication usage and interacted with perceived social support in accounting for variance in subjective stress. The extent to which these findings call into question common assumptions regarding the efficacy of BSGs and implications for future research are discussed.
