A comprehensive pediatric bereavement program: The Patterns of Your Life

Article Abstract:

Bereavement assistance is especially needed when a child dies. Nurses carry a large part of this burden and should be trained and supported with formal programs. The Pediatric Traumatic Death Bereavement Educational Pathway was developed by pediatric intensive care nurses to provide guidance to nursing staff. An established program using this approach coupled with other materials and programs received good evaluations after a two-year trial.

Article Abstract:

The Allegheny General Hospital Trauma Bereavement Program was developed to provide follow-up care for family members and friends during the year after a death. Intense emotional distress is a common reaction to death. Appropriate support and intervention can prevent prolonged grieving and help friends and relatives begin to reestablish their ties to others with a sense of hope and healing.

Bereavement care in the critical care setting

Article Abstract:

Bereavement, especially a loss of someone other than a child, is not well-addressed in nursing literature. A survey of 226 critical care nurses indicated nurses get involved helping the families but do not feel well-trained to do so. Follow-up services are especially rare. More research and planning is needed in this area.
