Posttraumatic Growth Among Suicide-Loss Survivors: Protocol for an Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Posttraumatic Growth Among Suicide-Loss Survivors: Protocol for an Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

There are commonalities between bereavement of suicide and other forms of death; however, some features of suicide bereavement are more pronounced, such as feelings of guilt, blame on self or others, or a longing for answers [6,7]. While all bereaved people may experience feelings of grief, loss, and depression, people bereaved by suicide specifically can begin to develop symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [8,9].

A French-Language Web-Based Intervention Targeting Prolonged Grief Symptoms in People Who Are Bereaved and Separated: Randomized Controlled Trial

A French-Language Web-Based Intervention Targeting Prolonged Grief Symptoms in People Who Are Bereaved and Separated: Randomized Controlled Trial

LIVIA 1 is a WBI program designed to treat prolonged grief symptoms following bereavement or separation [15]. Fundamental research indicates that both types of losses involve very similar underlying processes (eg, [16,17]). LIVIA 1 was assessed in German through a randomized controlled trial [18] and in French through a noncontrolled trial [19]. These studies demonstrated that the same intervention can be efficiently administered to both populations.

A Web-Based Peer Support Network to Help Care Partners of People With Serious Illness: Co-Design Study

A Web-Based Peer Support Network to Help Care Partners of People With Serious Illness: Co-Design Study

Online peer support networks for care partners often target specific health conditions (eg, breast cancer and Alzheimer dementia) or stages of caregiving (treatment vs bereavement), but infrequently support care partners of people with diverse conditions or the transition between stages of caregiving. They may also fail to provide active facilitation and moderation; identify and vet regional resources and support from local peers; or provide the possibility of meeting in person.

The Effects of Suicide Exposure on Mental Health Outcomes Among Post-9/11 Veterans: Protocol for an Explanatory, Sequential, Mixed Methods Study

The Effects of Suicide Exposure on Mental Health Outcomes Among Post-9/11 Veterans: Protocol for an Explanatory, Sequential, Mixed Methods Study

The measure has good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity with scales for psychiatric and bereavement distress. A total score ≤20 may be used as a cutoff for indicating problems with meaning made of loss [51]. We modified the stem to elicit reactions following the suicide or sudden death of the closest contact identified in the first survey. Those who have had both suicide and sudden death will be asked to select the death that was most difficult for them.

A Web-Based Self-help Intervention for Coping With the Loss of a Partner: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trials in 3 Countries

However, some individuals are less able to cope with bereavement and show symptoms of prolonged grief or adaptation problems [4-7]. Approximately 10% of mourners develop prolonged grief, which is a psychological disorder characterized by separation distress; frequent or disabling cognitive, emotional, and behavioral symptoms such as avoidance of reminders of the loved one; difficulties moving on with life; and functional impairment [8-10].

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Perinatal Loss Experienced by the Parental Couple: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Perinatal Loss Experienced by the Parental Couple: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Bereavement can lead to a crisis of faith [71], and the literature confirms that this can also occur in perinatal loss [72,73]. Perinatal loss is a biologically negative event, a particularly inexplicable experience; in the order of life events, children outlive their parents, hence the suffering of bereaved parents.

Supporting People Who Have Lost a Close Person by Bereavement or Separation: Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Two French-Language Internet-Based Interventions

The content is based on the Dual Process Model (DPM) of bereavement recovery and proposes an oscillation process mimicry [30,31] with an alternation of loss-focused and restauration-focused sessions. Finally, LIVIA 2.0 includes a module focused on identity and memory processes that play a key role in adapting to loss [32,33] as well as novel emotion regulation tools [34,35].

The Role of Emotion Regulation and Loss-Related Coping Self-efficacy in an Internet Intervention for Grief: Mediation Analysis

The Role of Emotion Regulation and Loss-Related Coping Self-efficacy in an Internet Intervention for Grief: Mediation Analysis

This study examines ER and loss-related CSE as potential mechanisms of change in an internet intervention, called LIVIA, for prolonged grief symptoms after spousal bereavement, separation, or divorce [32,33]. LIVIA addressed older adults who had experienced spousal bereavement, separation, or divorce and sought help for coping with prolonged grief symptoms, psychological distress, or adaptation problems in daily life.

Bereavement in later life has also been associated with physical problems and risk behaviors including involuntary weight loss, poor sleep, change in smoking and alcohol habits, chronic pain, inflammation and cardiovascular risks, as well as increased mortality [3-6]. PG has an estimated prevalence of 10% among the general elderly population [7], with the estimated rates differing per gender.
