Abstract

A large number of people have lost a loved one due to COVID-19, or have been bereaved through other causes than COVID-19. Considering the circumstances of many COVID-19 deaths, we anticipate that persistent complex grief disorder (PCGD) rate will increase, and PCGD will become a major mental health problem in Iran. Provided that future investigations corroborate this prediction, it appears essential to anticipate an increased need for effective PCGD interventions. Mental health care providers should improve the accessibility of PCGD interventions in both face-to-face and online formats. A top priority should be given to culturally sensitive and evidence-based interventions.

摘要

由于COVID-19，许多人失去了亲人，或者因COVID-19以外的其他原因丧生。考虑到许多COVID-19死亡的情况，我们预计持续性复杂悲伤障碍（PCGD）比率将增加，并且PCGD将成为伊朗的主要精神健康问题。如果未来的调查证实了这一预测，那么对有效的PCGD干预措施的需求增长的预期就显得至关重要。精神卫生保健提供者应以面对面和在线两种形式改善PCGD干预措施的可及性。应将文化敏感和基于证据的干预措施放在首位。
