- Abstract
Bereavement is likely to result in an increased healthcare utilization. However, little is known about the impact of bereavement on an entire healthcare system, and there is no knowledge of what bereavement requires in terms of healthcare planning. Improved knowledge of patterns of healthcare utilization during bereavement may help optimize targeted support. The objective of this study was to describe patterns of healthcare utilization before and after spousal bereavement because of cancer.
