Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Primary Bereavement Care PBC -a standardized bereavement intervention- delivered by family physicians FP in widows
Detailed Description: Nowadays there is little evidence about what is the best bereavement intervention in primary care and each family physician FP assists bereaved people in a different way The death of a loved one is the most stressful life event that can face a person in fact bereavement is associated with an increased risk of depression generalized anxiety and panic disorder alcohol abuse and use of medications sudden cardiac events suicide and an increased demand for health resources The FP is the only specialist who -through his position in the health system and in the community- can give emotional support to the bereaved and simultaneously deal with the health problems associated with the process In response to this our work group has designed a guide specifically for FP Primary Bereavement Care PBC and is currently testing its efficacy in a randomized controlled study

Comparison s Recently widows attended by FP trained in PBC through seven PBC sessions compared to recently widows attended by FP not trained in PBC through seven ordinary sessions
