Item A Systematic Literature Review of the Current State of Knowledge Related to Interventions for Bereaved Parents(Sage, 2019-12) Dias, Nancy; Hendricks-Ferguson, Verna L.; Wei, Holly; Boring, Elizabeth; Sewell, Kerry; Haase, Joan E.; School of NursingAims: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to describe the interventions for bereaved parents, evaluate intervention effectiveness through study methodology rigor, replicability, and theoretical foundations. Methods: We searched MEDLINE via PubMed (1966-2018), CINAHL (1937-present), PsycINFO (1887-present), and Embase (1947-present) using various search words and MeSH terms related to the study purpose. A blinded screening of title/abstract was performed, with conflicting inclusion decisions resolved through group discussions. Matrices for remaining articles were created and discussed among the team. The levels of evidence of the 9 records were rated from very low to high based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation guidelines. Results: Our initial pool included 1025 articles. After the screening of titles/abstracts, 63 articles were retained for full-text reviews. Evaluated based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 9 records met the review criteria. Of the 9 records, 1 was graded as very low, 3 low, and 5 low to moderate. The interventions for bereaved parents varied from using single-model interventions such as expressive arts therapy and telephone support to multimodal interventions that combined resources (ie, peer support, resource packets, and health-care support). Only 1 study explicitly illustrated how its bereavement intervention was designed based on the proposed theoretical model. Conclusions: This review highlights the need for individualized, well-tested, and effective bereavement care interventions to support bereaved parents. In summary, the state of the science on interventions for bereaved parents is poor and much work needs to be done to effectively address the needs of bereaved parents, including both their physical and emotional health needs.Item Understanding Needs, Barriers to Care, and Use of Art and Imagery with Spanish-speaking Latinos in Bereavement Therapy(2022) Rubiano Madrid, July; Misluk, Eileen; Boring, ElizabethThis study used a mixed-methods survey research design for bereavement counselors to identify the unique needs, barriers to care, and the use of art and imagery with Spanish-speaking Latino clients in therapy. The hypothesis was that art therapy helps address situations with language barriers between counselors and Spanish-speaking Latino clients. Furthermore, it was theorized that the results of this study could be used to help implement new programs for Spanish speakers or as a resource to inform those who are already working with Spanish-speaking clients. The survey results supported the findings of the literature review regarding needs, barriers to care, and usefulness of images and art in therapy with Spanish-speaking Latinos. They also validated the need to increase culturally compatible programs and further multiculturalism training for counselors.
