本研究探讨了社会支持在照顾家中死亡的人的过程中的作用。基于对16名照顾者进行深入的民族志访谈的数据，它采用了文化分析来与过渡仪式进行比较。理性提供了一个意义和惯例的广泛背景，以确保个人经验的怀疑和未知。提供社会支持的方式在照顾者向丧亲过渡的过程中起着关键作用。
This study examines the role of social support in the process of caring for someone dying at home. Based on data from in-depth ethnographic interviews with 16 caregivers, it employs a cultural analysis to draw parallels with rituals of transition. Ritual provides a broad context of meanings and routines for securing the doubts and unknowns of individual experience. The way social support is provided plays a key role in the caregiver's transition to bereavement.
