Abstract

This study focused on families with dependent children who participated in the Family Talk Intervention (FTI) and lost a parent during the intervention or directly thereafter. The aim was to explore how they perceived information and communication about the imminent death during the illness trajectory and after the loss. Seven families from palliative homecare settings in Sweden participated. This study suggests that it is important to support family communication when a parent is dying, since communication in this situation is unlike everyday family communication, as they enter a complex and existentially unfamiliar area, hard to initiate on their own.

摘要

这项研究的重点是参与家庭谈话干预 (FTI) 并在干预期间或之后直接失去父母的有受抚养子女的家庭。目的是探索他们如何在疾病轨迹和失去之后感知有关即将死亡的信息和交流。来自瑞典姑息性家庭护理机构的 7 个家庭参加。这项研究表明，在父母临终时支持家庭沟通很重要，因为在这种情况下的沟通不同于日常的家庭沟通，因为他们进入了一个复杂且不熟悉的领域，很难自行启动。
