The current mixed-methods study examines how college students negotiate the grief process with the competing demands of college. Data were collected from 950 students at a regional comprehensive university and a research intensive institution. Quantitative findings revealed closeness to the deceased as a key positive predictor of mental health and academic difficulties and positive associations between changes in peer relationships and mental health difficulties. Qualitative findings showed that closeness to the deceased was associated with a greater sense of purpose in the college experience and findings suggested that institutions and their faculty encourage and exhibit more sensitivity about grief issues.
当前的混合方法研究考察了大学生如何在大学的各种相互竞争的要求下应对悲伤过程。数据收集自一所地区综合性大学和一所研究型大学的950名学生。定量研究结果显示，与逝者的亲近程度是心理健康和学业困难的关键正向预测因素，同伴关系的变化与心理健康困难之间存在正相关。定性研究结果表明，与逝者的亲近程度与大学经历中更强的目标感相关，研究结果还表明，院校及其教师应鼓励并对悲伤问题表现出更高的敏感度。
