“…La comunicación de malas noticias a niños y adolescentes se hace más complicada cuando el fallecido es un familiar muy cercano al menor, como en el caso de los progenitores, y especialmente, cuando el encargado de hacer esta comunicación es el progenitor superviviente. Los trabajos publicados hasta la actualidad han demostrado que una comunicación adecuada cuando tiene lugar la pér-dida de un ser querido facilita el proceso de elaboración del duelo y puede evitar su complicación en los niños (5) . Cuando el fallecimiento tiene lugar en el ámbito hospitalario, la gestión adecuada de esta comunicación, corresponde no solo a los padres sino también al personal sanitario que ha atendido al fallecido y, no es extraño que los profesionales sanitarios tengan dudas acerca de cómo transmitir estas noticias a los menores, dudas que suelen unirse a las de los padres y a las de los demás familiares.…”

“…En idioma inglés, si bien se ha publicado numeroso material divulgativo (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) ; son también escasos los estudios sistemáticos sobre la eficacia de las intervenciones (5) . Así por ejemplo, Rosner et al (2010) (5) realiza un metaanalisis de 27 intervenciones en niños en proceso de duelo, y concluyen que éstas son útiles en casos de duelo complicado o cuando los menores presentan algún tipo de sintomatología, sin llegar a producirse una mejoría significativa en los demás casos.…”

ResumenObjetivo: La muerte es un tema tabú en la sociedad actual, y por ello es común que los padres tengan dudas acerca de cómo abordar este tema con los menores. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: 1) describir el concepto evolutivo de muerte y la forma de afrontamiento de niños y adolescentes ante una pérdida y 2) hacer una revisión bibliográfica de las principales recomendaciones y pautas para abordar el proceso de comunicación y preparación de los niños ante esta situación.Método: Se ha hecho una búsqueda bibliográfica sistemática en bases de datos primarias y secundarias (TripDatbase, PsycInfo, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Psicodoc) combinando diferentes términos clave.Resultados: La mayor parte del material revisado procede del ámbito anglosajón. En nuestro país la mayoría tiene un formato divulgativo, y no consta a los autores de este trabajo la publicación de investigaciones regladas. Sin embargo sí es posible extraer de todo el material revisado una serie de pautas generales que facilitan la comunicación con los menores en esas situaciones.Conclusiones: La comunicación adecuada y en base a unas pautas establecidas contribuye a facilitar el proceso de elaboración del duelo en los niños y adolescentes.Palabras clave: Muerte parental, comunicación, duelo, infancia. AbstractAims: Death is a taboo in our society, and it is common that parents have questions about how to cope with children this issue. The aims of this paper are: 1) to describe the developmental concept of death and the ways of coping in children and adolescents in case of loss 2) to make a literature review of the main recommendations and guidelines to address the communication process and preparation children in this situation.Method: A systematic literature search has been made in primary and secondary databases (TripDatbase, PsycInfo, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Psicodoc), by combining different keywords.Results: Most of the reviewed material comes from England and USA. In our country the majority has an informative format, and we have no evidence of published regulated research. However it is possible to remove from all the material reviewed a number of general guidelines to facilitate communication with children in case of loss of a loved one.Conclusions: The correct and based on established guidelines communication makes easier the process of grief in children and adolescents.

Section: Use Of Grief Models In Clinical Application For Children Ofmentioning

confidence: 99%

“…Overall, the evidence of the efficacy of using a grief perspective in children's recovery models following separation is not consistent (Siddaway, Wood, Schulz, & Trickey, 2015). Rosner, Kruse, and Hagl (2010) symptoms indicating specific difficulty in adjustment has also produced better outcomes (Horowitz & Garber, 2006;Rosner et al, 2010).The nature of evaluation conducted is also suggested to mask efficacy of a program where longer-term follow up, beyond the usual 6 week or 3-month evaluation, is more appropriate for universal intervention (i.e. a preventative intervention for those not exhibiting any specific symptoms) because it is consistent with the longer-term aims of such programs.…”

Despite five decades of extensive international research into children's adjustment following parental separation, little has been empirically established about the way in which children navigate this process. Furthermore, the use of children's direct reports about their experience is significantly underrepresented in the literature. Situated within a Social Constructionist framework, this thesis seeks to explore children's direct reports about their experiences during the first two years of separation. The aims of this thesis are twofold: firstly, to gain an understanding of children's experiences of adjustment following a separation based on their own reports; and secondly, to explore the extent to which a grief perspective, the Dual Process Model (DPM), assists in the understanding of these experiences.A qualitative design, utilizing an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach was adopted to ensure rich data would be gathered in exploring children's accounts of their own experiences. In-depth semi-structured interviews were utilized in keeping with IPA which were complemented with a range of developmentally appropriate creative mediums, such as drawing, storytelling and symbolic use of figurines. The intent was to facilitate children's expression of their experiences in offering several modalities to complement the interview process. All interviews were video recorded to capture the detail of interviews, such as silence and pauses, which were relevant to understanding the transcripts.Recruitment was initially conducted through a community based organization which was later supplemented by other recruitment sources. The final sample comprised four families, all within the first two years of separation. Seven children, aged between seven and 13 years, took part in interviews. Six parents from these four families also elected to take part in parent interviews.These parent interviews allowed another perspective/s to be gained regarding a child's unique family context and adjustment. Interviews were conducted at two points through the study, approximately six months apart. In keeping with IPA, allowing participants to talk of how their experiences changed over time was significant.Thematic analysis was first applied to the children's data, using the transcripts from both interviews. The themes were then explored against the DPM to understand the extent to which this model assisted in making sense of children's experiences.Thematic analysis resulted in the following themes being identified. Firstly, in keeping with IPA, children were asked to talk of their understanding of the separation. The Meaning of Separation thematically groups both their literal explanations of the word 'separation' and also the more complex and deeper levels of meaning they attributed to the term. Secondly, children talked about a sense of feeling Alone during the initial period of hearing about the separation, despite being around family and friends who might have been trying to interact with them. This sense of iii ...

Introduction:To lose a person close suddenly, during childhood or adolescence, can be devastating. Many children or adolescents experienced the 2004 Indonesian tsunami when they were between 10-and 15-years-old. This study, from Stockholm, Sweden, describes the long-term effects of loss, eight-or nine-years post disaster, in young adulthood.Method: A mixed-method approach was used including statistical analyses (n = 210) and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA).Results: It was shown that there was a significant difference between bereaved (n = 34) and nonbereaved (n = 176) respondents concerning, psychological distress, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self-rated health. Three themes were found by using the IPA approach (n = 9): Living in traumas, carrying heavy baggage, and living with change. Conclusion:The respondents described personal feelings of grief that are not
