Thousands of people have died of COVID-19 in El Salvador. However, little is known about the mental health of those who are mourning the loss of a loved one to COVID-19. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the dysfunctional grief associated with COVID-19 death among Salvadoran adults. A sample of 435 Salvadorans (M = 29 years; SD = 8.75) who lost a family member or loved one to COVID-19 completed a digital survey using the Google Forms platform, during April 2 and 28, 2022. The results revealed that 35.1% reported clinically elevated symptoms of dysfunctional grief and among those mourners, and 25.1% also exhibited clinical levels of coronavirus anxiety. A binary logistic regression revealed that predictor variables such as COVID-19 anxiety (p = .003), depression (p = .021), and COVID-19 obsession (p = .032) were significant (χ = 84.31; Nagelkerke R = .242) and predict a 24.2% chance of dysfunctional bereavement.
在萨尔瓦多,已有数千人死于新冠病毒。然而,对于那些因亲人死于新冠病毒而悲痛的人的心理健康状况,我们却知之甚少。因此,本研究的目的是调查萨尔瓦多成年人中与新冠病毒死亡相关的功能失调性悲伤。2022年4月2日至28日期间,435名因新冠病毒失去家庭成员或亲人的萨尔瓦多人(平均年龄M = 29岁;标准差SD = 8.75)通过谷歌表单平台完成了一项数字调查。结果显示,35.1%的人报告存在临床水平升高的功能失调性悲伤症状,在这些哀悼者中,25.1%的人还表现出临床水平的新冠病毒焦虑症状。二元逻辑回归分析显示,诸如新冠病毒焦虑(p = 0.003)、抑郁(p = 0.021)和新冠病毒强迫观念(p = 0.032)等预测变量具有显著性(χ = 84.31;Nagelkerke R = 0.242),并预测功能失调性丧亲的可能性为24.2%。
