三个内在的资源（自尊，能力和生活满意度）和持续时间的自助小组干预水平的抑郁和悲伤的相对影响进行了检查，随着时间的推移，在295个最近失去亲人的老年人的样本。一般而言，所审查的资源对结果的直接影响大于干预措施。此外，那些能力较低的人报告说，随着更多的会议出席率，抑郁和悲伤减少，而那些能力高的人则相反。然而，在那些持续参加自助小组会议超过8周的高能力者中，抑郁症最终有所减少。虽然丧亲自助小组可以帮助那些可能缺乏某些技能的人，但同样重要的是，要强调丧亲者如何更有效地利用他们可能已经拥有的优势，以促进适应。
The relative impact of three intrapersonal resources (self-esteem, competencies and life satisfaction) and the duration of a self-help group intervention on levels of depression and grief were examined over time among a sample of 295 recently bereaved older adults. In general, the resources examined had a greater direct influence on outcomes than the intervention. Also, those with lower competencies reported reduced depression and grief with greater meeting attendance, whereas the opposite was at first true for those with high competencies. Depression eventually decreased, however, among those with high competencies who continued to attend self-help group meetings for more than 8 weeks. Although bereavement self-help groups can aid those who may be deficient in selected skills, it is equally important to emphasize ways the bereaved can more effectively use those strengths that they may already possess in order to facilitate adaptation.
