Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors of Complicated Grief CG among children and adolescents who lost a parent to cancer or from an other cause
Detailed Description:
Although the intensity of the grief and life disruption usually subsides in the months following the loss of a loved one approximately 7 of bereaved individuals will continue to experience persistent and intense grief-related symptoms associated with marked distress and functional impairment years after the death
While several studies aimed to evaluate risk factors of CG among adults little is known regarding CG among children and adolescents Therefore prospective research directly examining the impact of bereavement on post-loss psychiatric symptoms including CG post-traumatic-stress disorder PTSD depression attentional and behavioral avoidance among children are needed Improving our understanding of CG risk factors among children will help direct healthcare professionals clinical attention toward screening and care of this underserved population
Furthermore identifying mechanisms explaining why cancer bereaved children may be at greater risk for persistent psychological distress and CG will inform the development of preventive early intervention and treatment strategies
Participants will be recruited to the Child and Adolescent grief counseling of the College Hospital of Toulouse as well as with the Team Regional Resource Pediatric Palliative Care Enfant-Do At 3 6 and 12 months post-loss children and their parent will be invited to complete questionnaires assessing peritraumatic dissociative experiences peritraumatic distress security attachment symptoms of CG symptoms of PTSD and attentional avoidance
