英エディンバラ大学は、死別や喪失体験を抱える人々を支援するデジタルツール「DayNew」を公開した。これは、悲嘆(グリーフ)に直面した人が、自身の感情や状況に応じた支援情報へアクセスしやすくすることを目的としたオンライン支援プラットフォームである。グリーフは精神的・身体的健康へ大きな影響を与えるが、多くの人が適切な支援へたどり着けない課題がある。DayNewでは、利用者の状態に合わせたセルフケア情報、支援団体、地域サービスなどを案内し、孤立感の軽減や心理的回復を後押しする。研究者らは、悲嘆体験は個人差が大きく、画一的支援では不十分だと指摘しており、本ツールは個別ニーズに応じた支援提供を重視している。今後は医療・福祉機関との連携も進め、喪失後ケアの社会的基盤整備につなげる方針である。

ABSTRACT

Many people who are bereaved would benefit from effective bereavement support, yet timely access to this is limited. We developed My Grief My Way, a prototype online bereavement support resource based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to facilitate access to evidence-based bereavement support, irrespective of geography or time. We sought to explore the acceptability of My Grief My Way for people who have been bereaved. We conducted a convergent mixed-methods study involving online interviews with bereaved individuals and questionnaires administered at baseline and approximately 8 weeks after accessing the My Grief My Way website. Participants were 27 bereaved individuals (23 female) recruited from two not-for-profit organisations providing bereavement support in the UK. Mean age was 51 years (range 23-77). Most participants perceived the website as acceptable (user-friendly, flexible, attractive and varied), and a positive experience (supportive and caring, provided a sense of community, helped develop coping skills). Exploratory quantitative analysis suggested improvements in participant mental wellbeing over time. Most who used the website said they would access it again in the future (72%). Our preliminary findings suggest that My Grief My Way is acceptable to bereaved individuals and may be associated with improvements in mental wellbeing. It has the potential to increase access to evidence-based bereavement support in a timely manner. Further research is needed to evaluate impacts in a larger, more diverse, sample.
