Family members' experiences of bereavement in the emergency department : A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies
The emergency department (ED) is one of the places where patient deaths frequently occur. Understanding family members' experiences of bereavement would help provide individualized bereavement care. We conducted a meta-synthesis to synthesize family members' experiences of bereavement in the ED and assess the impact of bereavement on their lives. We searched seven international electronic databases. Five studies were selected and critically appraised. Thematic analysis was employed. Five themes (with 13 subthemes) were derived: suffering sudden changes and are severely impacted, multiple feelings and needs of waiting, final farewell, personal and family difficulties after leaving the ED, and journey through grief. Family members endured agonizing waits to see and learn more about their family members' condition. Family members reported the need for effective follow-up resources. Findings revealed that it would be helpful if the EDs could provide sensitive and respectful care to family members.
