The loss of a loved one due to COVID-19 can result in significant psychological distress and maladaptive coping responses. This study aimed to investigate the coping with bereavement and loss experiences and related factors among families of individuals deceased due to COVID-19.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 residents of Guilan Province, northern Iran, who had experienced the loss of a family member (father, mother, spouse, child, sister, or brother) due to COVID-19 within the past 6 months. Participants were selected using simple random sampling and completed a demographic survey and the Coping Assessment for Bereavement and Loss Experiences (CABLE) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with SPSS software version 21.
The mean score for coping with bereavement and loss experiences was 84.17 ± 19.75. Significant relationships were found between coping with bereavement and the demographic characteristics of age ( = 3.091, < 0.05, ² = 0.732) and job type ( = 2.914, < 0.05, ² = 0.778). No significant relationships were observed with other demographic variables (> 0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that age was the only significant predictor of coping with bereavement and loss experiences, with a standardized coefficient () of 0.423, = 2.149, < 0.05.
This study provides insights into the bereavement experiences of families who lost loved ones to COVID-19. It highlights the importance of considering demographic characteristics when providing support to these families. The findings can inform targeted interventions to improve mental health outcomes and well-being among bereaved families.
因新冠疫情失去亲人可能导致严重的心理困扰和适应不良的应对反应。本研究旨在调查新冠疫情相关死亡者家属的丧亲之痛应对方式、损失经历及相关因素。
本横断面研究在伊朗北部吉兰省的220名居民中进行，这些居民在过去6个月内经历了因新冠疫情失去家庭成员（父亲、母亲、配偶、孩子、姐妹或兄弟）的情况。采用简单随机抽样选取参与者，并完成人口统计学调查以及丧亲与损失经历应对评估（CABLE）问卷。使用SPSS 21软件进行描述性和推断性统计分析数据。
丧亲与损失经历应对的平均得分为84.17±19.75。丧亲应对方式与年龄（=3.091，<0.05，²=0.732）和工作类型（=2.914，<0.05，²=0.778）的人口统计学特征之间存在显著关系。与其他人口统计学变量未观察到显著关系（>0.05）。多元回归分析表明，年龄是丧亲与损失经历应对的唯一显著预测因素，标准化系数（）为0.423，=2.149，<0.05。
本研究为因新冠疫情失去亲人的家庭的丧亲经历提供了见解。强调了在为这些家庭提供支持时考虑人口统计学特征的重要性。研究结果可为有针对性的干预措施提供参考，以改善丧亲家庭的心理健康状况和幸福感。
