NCT ID: NCT02325297 Completed - Death Clinical Trials

"Impacts of the Letter of Condolence to the Bereaved Families Experience After a Death in ICU " - Study Famirea 22

Famirea 22
Start date: December 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

After the death of a patient in the hyper-technical context of intensive care, his relatives are particularly vulnerable and often exhibit symptoms of anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress and complicated grief. The first results of a qualitative study Famiréa current (CAESAR) support the idea that the bereaved relatives suffer from persistent misunderstandings and a feeling of abandonment of the resuscitation team. Many families suggest the need for contact with the team after the patient's death. The letter of condolence received by some families allowed them to feel recognized in their pain resuscitation teams. This has led us to ask the question of post-death monitoring and interest to send to bereaved relatives a letter of condolence, as recommended by the American consensus conference in 2004 on good palliative care. This strategy would allow the recognition of both close to the pain but also the strong bond that united the resuscitation team. The hypothesis of the study is that the post-death followed in the form of a letter of condolence sent by the intensive care physician who was in charge of the patient, could reduce the risk of having symptoms of anxiety / depression and post-traumatic stress and reduce the rate of complicated grief. Famirea 22 is randomized clinical trial aimin to compare two bereaved groups: one group who did not receive a letter of condolence and a group that received a letter of condolence 15 days after the death.

NCT ID: NCT01573689 Completed - Grief, Clinical Trials

Bereaving, But Not Alone : the Development and Actualization of a Mutual Aid Group for Children Who Have Lost a Parent.

Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The methodology of this clinical trial is based on the realisation of a group intervention with children who lost a parent. Interviews preintervention and postintervention with participants will be done as well. The purpose of this study is to answer the following question: "What are the benefits for children who are in the process of bereaving a parent to participate in a group work intervention based on the mutual aid model ?". The aim of the research is to explore the benefits for grieving children to participate in an group work intervention based on the mutual aid model. To do so, the research has three distinct objectives : 1) to develop and apply a program of group work interventions for grieving children based on the mutual aid model ; 2) to explore the extent to which participation in the group facilitates changes in the children's discourse about death and the loss of their parents, and 3) to examine, from the children's own perceptive, the possible impact that their participation in the group have on their experience of bereavement.
