covid 19 大流行期间发生的损失被认为是“严重死亡”。他们的特点是身体不适、呼吸困难、社会孤立、心理困扰和护理无效。由于缺乏有助于应对的资源,与大流行之前的通常悲伤相比,在新冠时期的悲伤经历更具挑战性。缺乏社会支持、对未来的不确定性、缺乏常规以及哀悼仪式的缺乏,使死者失去了适应性哀悼的基本机会。加强预先护理计划可以帮助临终患者获得有效的护理。虚拟葬礼服务通过电话交谈、在线心理治疗提供支持,并鼓励与死者继续保持联系,为经历悲伤和丧亲之痛的个人提供帮助。本章重点是提高人们对大流行期间悲伤本质的认识,并了解减轻因 covid-19 大流行而经历悲伤的社会各个亚群体的复杂悲伤的有效措施。
Losses that took place during the covid 19 pandemic are recognised as “bad deaths”. They are characterized by physical discomfort, difficulty breathing, social isolation, psychological distress and ineffective care. The experience of grief has been even more challenging during the covid times as compared to the usual grief prior to the pandemic due to the lack of resources that assist in coping. Lack of social support, uncertainty about the future, lack of routine, and absence of mourning rituals deny the bereaved with the basic opportunity to grieve adaptively. Enhancing advance care planning may help dying patients to receive effective care. Virtual funeral services, extending support through telephonic conversations, online psychotherapy and encouraging continuing bonds with the deceased assist individuals who experience grief and bereavement. The current chapter focuses on expanding awareness about the nature of grief during the pandemic and understanding effective measures to mitigate complicated grief across various subgroups of the society who experienced grief as a result of the covid-19 pandemic.
