Everybody needs to deal with bereavement at some stage; but for some people, this can be a more difficult process. There are many factors that can influence how people cope with the loss of a loved one, including level of family support, financial resources, stress, and the circumstances surrounding death. The Grief Study investigates the levels of 'complicated grief' following the death of a loved one. By studying people's use of prescription medications to help with mental health, we can get a better understanding of how factors such as age, gender, family support, employment and religion affect how people cope after bereavement. By looking at how people become bereaved - for example, after illness, road traffic accidents, violence or after suicide - we can learn how important the reasons for bereavement are in terms of how people cope. This study will also look to see if the factors that help people cope - such as family support - are more or less important depending on how they lost their loved ones. The Grief Study is based on data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study, this holds information on prescription use for around 500,000 people, and has information on death and bereavement for the entire Northern Ireland population, around 1.6 million people. Using this database, the Grief Study aims to learn more about bereavement, mental health, complicated grief, and longer term outcomes for people who have lost a loved one.It is important to identify the people who are in greatest need after bereavement, so that professionals, family and friends can make sure to offer the care and support that they need.

每个人都需要在某个阶段处理丧亲之痛;但对一些人来说，这可能是一个更困难的过程。有许多因素可以影响人们如何科普失去亲人的情况，包括家庭支持的水平，经济资源，压力以及死亡的环境。悲伤研究调查了亲人去世后“复杂悲伤”的程度。通过研究人们使用处方药来帮助心理健康，我们可以更好地了解年龄、性别、家庭支持、就业和宗教等因素如何影响人们在丧亲之痛后的科普方式。通过观察人们是如何丧失亲人的--例如，在疾病、道路交通事故、暴力或自杀之后--我们可以了解丧失亲人的原因对人们如何科普的重要性。这项研究还将研究帮助人们科普的因素--如家庭支持--是否更重要或更不重要，这取决于他们如何失去亲人。悲伤研究基于北方爱尔兰纵向研究的数据，该研究包含约50万人的处方药使用信息，并包含整个北方爱尔兰人口（约160万人）的死亡和丧亲信息。使用这个数据库，悲伤研究旨在了解更多关于丧亲之痛，心理健康，复杂的悲伤，以及失去亲人的人的长期结果。重要的是要确定谁是丧亲之痛后最需要的人，这样专业人士，家人和朋友就可以确保提供他们需要的照顾和支持。
