This study investigated the effects of a 6-week support group for middle school parentally bereaved children on self-esteem, depression, and problem behavior as well as self-beliefs about abilities to cope with loss. The Solomon four group design was used with data analyzed by using a two way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the effect of the intervention as well as any interaction and for pretest effects. No statistically significant differences were found. Self-reports of group members and observations of the group leader suggested that the group did have a positive effect on members, Limitations are cited, and suggestions for future research are discussed.read more

TL;DR: The case for universal inclusion of this group of children in such support programmes remains unproven, and further exploration of the outcomes of a range of different community interventions is required, with a specific focus on long-term and/or unwanted effects and evaluation of the basis for referral.
