N2  - Aim: To define clinical practice in order to reduce parental morbidity after son or daughters suicide. Background: Suicide is the most common cause of death among young people in Sweden and affected parents often develop long-term morbidity. Despite this, an evidence- based guideline for the professional care-giving to reduce morbidity is deficient. Methods: Experiences from bereaved parents were explored through a qualitative pilot study and a questionnaire was created from the results. The questionnaire will later be used in a population- based study including: All parents in Sweden that have lost a child (age 15- 30 years) in suicide during 2001-2003 and a matched control group of non- bereaved for comparison. Results: Themes and hypotheses based on the parents' experiences were paraphrased into a questionnaire. The questionnaire contains several parameters addressing causality between professional interventions after the suicide, and the parents' health. For example: Can long-term anxiety respective depression be reduced by: -Seeing the deceased under worthy circumstances -Treatment of problems, identified during the immediate support. Conclusion: Several hypotheses concerning reduced morbidity have been formulated that will be tested in a later nation-wide population-based study.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
