Abstract
SOUSA, Joana; FERREIRA, Raquel and GUEDES, Virgínia. Developed interventions in grief management in palliative care: scoping review. RIIS [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.2, pp.97-109. Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 2184-1578. https://doi.org/10.37914/riis.v5i2.189.
Background:
the intervention of health professionals in the grieving process is a health need in the end-of-life process of the palliative patient and his family.
Objective:
to map the scientific evidence on which interventions health professionals develop in the grief management in the palliative care setting.
Methodology:
scoping review, following the mnemonic P (participants), C (concept) and C (context) recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute.
Results:
three articles were selected, two of which refer to grief management programs for the loss of a child family member and one for the loss of an adult family member. The interventions developed by the health teams in the management of grief begin in the person's end-of-life process. They are related to support, creation of memories and maintenance of contact with the family after the person´s death.
Conclusion:
the grieving process associated with the loss of a child is very complex and requires a very particular view. Further studies should be developed on targeted interventions in grief management in palliative care.
