ABSTRACT
Few studies have examined grief in medical students. This study used a multimethod approach to describe how bereavement and CG may impact medical students' educational experience and their perspectives on grief support and training. One hundred three medical students completed an online survey with quantitative and qualitative methods. Seventy-three (71%) students reported experiencing bereavement, of which 12 (18%) screened positive for CG. Medical students who screened positive for CG reported significantly more emotional and behavioral challenges (M = 3.58 [SD = 2.64]) compared to medical students without CG (M = 0.93 [SD = 1.58], p < .001). Qualitative analyses revealed that bereaved and nonbereaved students wanted more grief education and bereavement support from medical institutions. Therefore, it is crucial for medical institutions, to acknowledge that grief and bereavement may impact students' performance due to multifactorial causes.
