ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Recognizing important bereavement-related needs among sudden loss survivors (e.g., suicide, overdose)-a population that is burgeoning and at risk for deleterious outcomes-is a critical task as needs may reflect modifiable grief-related variables that can assist with post-loss adjustment.METHODS:
Latent profile analysis was used among 347 sudden loss survivors to (a) identify distinct patterns of needs among survivors of sudden loss, (b) assess predictors of such profiles, and (c) investigate differences in profiles in terms of bereavement outcomes.RESULTS:
Four classes of bereavement-related needs were identified a low needs class, a moderate needs-spiritual class, a moderate needs-relational class, and a high needs (HN) class. Clear differences emerged between need classes with the HN class evidencing the greatest level of grief and mental health sequelae.CONCLUSION:
Tending to bereavement-related needs is critical, as they indicate the degree of distress and reflect modifiable therapeutic variables.Palabras clave
