Studying How NDErs Process Bereavement
This study adopts a “quantitative observational, cross-sectional, and comparative design” aimed at investigating the emotional and experiential differences among three independent groups of bereaved individuals (at least 70 participants per group):
Group 1: bereaved individuals who have never experienced a Near-Death Experience (NDE)
Group 2: bereaved individuals who have experienced an NDE during their lifetime
Group 3: bereaved individuals who have not experienced an NDE but who show a strong interest in spiritual and transcendent topics
All participants will be asked to complete an initial questionnaire to collect socio-demographic data and to classify each individual within the appropriate group. They will then complete a set of closed-ended questionnaires designed to measure emotional and experiential dimensions relevant to the grieving process. The set of instruments include: Testoni Death Representation Scale, Ambiguous Loss Measure, Death Attitude Profile-Revised, Inventory of Complicated Spiritual Grief, Impact of Event Scale - Revised, Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale, Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale, Personal Meaning Profile.
The protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the University of Padua (Unique Code: 1349-a)
