Scoping review of grief studies in Indonesia

Subject

bereavement; grief; Indonesia; scoping review; studies

Description

Background: One death can cause nine bereavements. Considering the
impact of human loss, studies on grief are crucial for better bereavement
care services.
Purpose: This study examined studies on grief conducted in Indonesia.
Indonesian grief research mapping will identify study gaps and suggest
further research.
Methods: The reporting for a scoping review adhered to the PRISMA
(preferred reporting elements for systematic review and meta-analysis)
statement for a scoping review. A systematic screening was performed in
MedLine, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, as well
as manual searches via Google Scholar, Portal Garuda, and relevant studies
without language and date restrictions. The data retrieved in the literature
were analyzed descriptively, and the themes were developed using NVivo
software.
Results: Based on the 18 included studies, the types of grief studies in
Indonesia can be divided into pre- and after-loss grief areas. Regarding
the themes of the studies that have been conducted in Indonesia, five
themes can be derived, related to (1) study purposes, (2) cause of grief, (3)
population, (4) concept being studied, and (5) outcomes being studied.
Conclusion: There is significant room for growth in the grief research field
in Indonesia. It will be vital for researchers in Indonesia to perform additional
studies on pre-loss grief, other studies connected to interventional trials, and
further studies examining variation in the outcomes.
