目前的探索性项目代表了一项横断面研究，旨在确定在伴侣宠物/动物死亡后报告复杂性悲伤（CG）和/或创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的显着症状的人的百分比。人类参与者（N = 106）从兽医诊所取样。52%的参与者因自然原因失去了一到三只宠物，60%的人从未因安乐死失去过宠物，37%的人因安乐死失去了一到三只宠物。这项研究表明，许多人对他们的宠物/动物有显著的依恋，并在宠物/动物死亡后经历了悲伤反应的显著特征（约20%）。然而，经历重大病理性破坏的人的百分比相对较低（
The present exploratory project represents a cross-sectional study designed to determine the percentage of people reporting significant symptoms of complicated grief (CG) and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to the death of companion pets/animals. Human participants (N = 106) were sampled from a veterinary clinic. Fifty-two percent of participants had lost one to three pets from natural causes, 60% had never lost a pet to euthanasia, and 37% had lost one to three pets to euthanasia. The study suggests that many people experience significant attachment to their pets/animals and experience significant features of grief reactions (about 20%) after the death of a pet/animal. However, the percentage of people experiencing major pathological disruption is relatively low (
