In addition, the study aimed to explore what types of family members are most likely to experience a more difficult grief reaction. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Design A prospective, descriptive study was used. One hundred and fifty bereaved family members participated. Bereaved family members were classified as high, medium or low risk and received a structured bereavement support protocol based on their level of risk as measured by the BRI. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Findings Results indicated that a shorter 4-item version of the BRI was more internally consistent than the longer version and demonstrated good predictive validity when correlated with outcome measures at 3 months following the patient\u2019s death. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion The modified 4-item BRI demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity and was brief and simple to use. Nurses were able to use the instrument with minimal training and were able to adhere to a matched bereavement support protocol. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/ijpn.2005.11.12.20226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,23]],"date-time":"2014-05-23T15:43:59Z","timestamp":1400859839000},"page":"610-618","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Evaluation of the Bereavement Risk Index (BRI): a community hospice care protocol"],"prefix":"10.12968","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Linda J","family":"Kristjanson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Silver Chain Hospice Care Services and Professor of Palliative Care, Edith Cowan University, Churchlands, Western Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kerry","family":"Cousins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Silver Chain Nursing Association, Osborne Park, Western Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Silver Chain Nursing Association, Osborne Park, Western Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gill","family":"Lewin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Silver Chain Nursing Association, Osborne Park, Western Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5130","reference":[{"key":"p_18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1943-278X.1989.tb01033.x"},{"key":"p_19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J011v11n04_03"},{"issue":"1","key":"p_20","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.1177\/082585979601200103","volume":"12","author":"Bromberg MH","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Palliat Care"},{"key":"p_21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291796004151"},{"key":"p_22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geronb\/55.4.S197"},{"key":"p_23","volume-title":"Washington, DC","author":"Centre","year":"2003"},{"key":"p_24","volume-title":"When Children Die: Improving Palliative and End-of-life Care for Children and Their Families","author":"Christ G","year":"2003"},{"key":"p_25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(95)00198-0"},{"key":"p_26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.134.6.696"},{"key":"p_27","volume-title":"Biopsychosocial Aspects of Bereavement","author":"Fashingbauer TR","year":"1987"},{"key":"p_28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07481180050132820"},{"key":"p_29","volume-title":"Report on Bereavement and Grief Research","author":"Genevro JL","year":"2003"},{"key":"p_30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002800-199303000-00005"},{"key":"p_31","volume-title":"The User's Guide to the General Health Questionnaire","author":"Goldberg D","year":"1988"},{"key":"p_32","first-page":"905","volume":"154","author":"Horowitz MJ","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Psychiatry"},{"key":"p_33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/713842360"},{"key":"p_34","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/000486700278"},{"key":"p_35","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/026921639701100303"},{"issue":"4","key":"p_36","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.1177\/082585979601200403","volume":"12","author":"Kristjanson LJ","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Palliat Care"},{"key":"p_37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104990919601300408"},{"key":"p_38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199707000-00005"},{"key":"p_39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1545-5300.1994.00053.x"},{"key":"p_40","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comppsych.2004.07.013"},{"key":"p_41","volume-title":"Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine","author":"Parkes CM","year":"1993"},{"key":"p_42","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511570100.007"},{"key":"p_43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/10436-026"},{"key":"p_44","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.154.7.1003"},{"key":"p_45","volume-title":"Assessing Psychological Trauma and PTSD.
