新冠肺炎疫情对哀悼仪式施加了各种限制。文献表明，对葬礼和悲伤仪式的限制可能会增加出现长期悲伤症状的机会（PG）。在这项研究中，我们探讨了大流行对葬礼和悲伤仪式方面的可能影响，并检查了它们与PG症状的关系。来自不同国家的在大流行前一年（n = 50）或大流行期间（n = 182）失去亲人的人填写了一份在线问卷，其中包括对COVID-19限制影响的评级、葬礼服务的五个方面、悲伤仪式的五个方面以及PG症状的测量。在大流行期间失去亲人的参与者认为，这些限制对葬礼和哀悼仪式的体验产生了负面影响。然而，在出席和评估大流行之前和期间失去亲人的人的葬礼和哀悼仪式方面没有发现差异。葬礼服务的出席和评估与PG症状水平有关，而悲伤仪式的表现和帮助与这些症状无关。虽然与PG症状无关，但一半的参与者使用了有用的替代仪式来应对他们的损失。我们的研究表明，失去亲人的人对COVID-19大流行的反应很有弹性，例如通过创造替代仪式来应对他们的损失。此外，它强调了在研究葬礼和悲伤仪式的重要性时，超越症状水平的重要性。
The COVID-19 pandemic has put various restrictions on grief rituals. Literature suggests that the restrictions on funerals and grief rituals may increase the chance of developing symptoms of prolonged grief (PG). In this study, we explored the possible impact of the pandemic on aspects of the funeral and grief rituals and examined their relationship with PG symptoms. Bereaved individuals from different countries, who lost a loved one in the year prior to the pandemic (n = 50) or during the pandemic (n = 182), filled in an online questionnaire, including a rating of the impact of COVID-19 restrictions, five aspects of the funeral service, five aspects of grief rituals, and a measurement for PG symptoms. Participants bereaved during the pandemic rated the impact of the restrictions on the experience of the funeral and grief rituals as negative. Nevertheless, no differences were found in attendance and evaluation of the funeral and grief rituals for people bereaved prior to vs. during the pandemic. Attendance and evaluation of the funeral services were related to levels of PG symptoms, whereas the performance and helpfulness of grief rituals were not related to these symptoms. Although not related to PG symptoms, half of the participants used helpful alternative rituals to cope with their loss. Our study suggests that bereaved people respond resiliently to the COVID-19 pandemic, for example by creating alternative rituals to cope with their loss. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of looking beyond symptom levels when studying the importance of funeral and grief rituals.
