Zusammenfassung

Stirbt ein Kind, werden die Eltern mit großen Belastungen konfrontiert. Vor allem in der ersten Zeit nach dem Tod des Kindes ist die Trauer oft mit emotionalem Stress verknüpft (z. B. Dyregrov et al. 2003; Li et al. 2005; Murphy et al. 2003). Für die Hinterbliebenen zeigen sich jedoch auch nach langer Zeit noch Beeinträchtigungen der psychischen Gesundheit (Kreicbergs et al. 2004; Li et al. 2005; Rogers et al. 2008; Pudrovska 2009), sowie ein schlechterer physischer Gesundheitszustand (Levav et al. 2000; Song et al. 2010) und mitunter erhöhte Mortalitätsraten (Espinosa und Evans 2013; Li et al. 2003).
