Abstract:
Bereavement support for caregivers is an important component of palliative care practice, but there is currently a lack of corresponding regulations and consensus in China.A recent review published in Front Psychol systematically outlined the core principles and practical guidelines framework for bereavement support for adult family caregivers in palliative care, covering the entire process from entering palliative care to the bereavement period after death.Based on this, this article aims to interpret the guidelines framework, providing clinical practice references for hospice and palliative care practitioners and geriatric healthcare workers in China, thereby promoting the development and improvement of bereavement support services.
