Nursing: COVID-19: Loss, Grief, and Bereavement: Helping Families Cope
15.00
About the Course
Although nurses have various educational backgrounds and work in diverse clinical settings, COVID-19 has impacted them in a way that brings them together. Nurses may be confronted by grieving family members in months, if not years to come. A major emphasis of this course is providing an understanding of how families mourn their loved ones during a pandemic. Families were not able to express their love or hold their loved one’s hand as they took their last breath.
Families could not express their grief to others as they were physically distancing from those around them, and many mourn alone. Mourning is the outward expression of thoughts and feelings related to COVID-19. This course explores practical strategies to help bereaved families by identifying contemporary mourning theories, such as Tasks of Mourning, Dual Process Model, Six “R” Processes of Mourning, Continuing Bonds Theory, and Meaning Reconstruction. Mourning theories can provide a framework to help nurses comfort families. Additionally, this course focuses on understanding how theories and models of loss, grief, and mourning can move families through their painful loss experience in a healthy and meaningful way.
