Abstract

Some individuals experience abnormally persistent and intense symptoms of grief that significantly interfere with daily functioning and increase the risk of adverse health outcomes. This condition has been described using terms such as complicated grief, prolonged grief and Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD). Our aim was to systematically scope and map the research evidence on grief, bereavement and PGD. We sought to identify the availability of evidence from systematic reviews on the following issues: • The extent and nature of PGD • Risk factors for PGD • Grief and bereavement experiences, including: • The needs of bereaved people • The barriers to accessing grief services • The effectiveness of interventions for preventing or treating PGD We also sought to identify primary studies reporting on the types of bereavement support services that are available in the UK.
