The psychological aspects of bereavement
Each year the average general practitioner will have approximately 20 patient deaths. Those that are bereaved may suffer both physical and mental health problems as a consequence of their loss. Approaches to the assessment of the health needs of bereaved patients and the impact of primary care team interventions in this area need to be evaluated in order to ensure that resources are used effectively. This article reviews bereavement-related issues from a primary care perspective.
