Abstract:
The present study aimed to assess the mediating role of adjustment processes in known risk factors associated with prolonged grief disorder. Data were collected in March-April 2021 through an online survey of 542 Canadian adults bereaved since March 2020. The mediating role of satisfaction with funeral rituals, bereavement support, and coping strategies on grief outcomes was tested using structural equation modeling. Results showed that such adjustment processes played a significant role in the grief process and that they were better predictors than risk factors alone. Since they are more amenable determinants of grief reactions, they should be further studied using a longitudinal design.
