    Bereaved parents

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sociology
    • Grief Studies

    Background:

    • Bereavement following military conflict presents unique challenges.
    • Understanding factors influencing parental adjustment is crucial for support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess personal adjustment in parents who lost a son in the 1969-1970 War of Attrition.
    • To identify background and behavioral characteristics differentiating adjustment levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted semistructured interviews with 47 parents from 25 families 2-3 years post-bereavement.
    • Utilized independent judges to rate non-objective variables like religiosity and social relationships.
    • Employed correlation matrices to test hypotheses regarding adjustment factors.

    Main Results:

    • A significant positive relationship was found between higher education level and better adjustment (r = 0.668, p < 0.01).
    • Satisfying interpersonal and marital relationships strongly correlated with good adjustment (r = 0.735 and r = 0.573, p < 0.01).
    • The hypothesized link between religiosity and adjustment was not confirmed, potentially due to education level variance.

    Conclusions:

    • Higher education and strong social connections appear to be significant protective factors for parental adjustment after profound loss.
    • Further research controlling for education is needed to clarify the role of religiosity in bereavement recovery.
    • Findings suggest that life structure including education and social interaction aids coping with severe stress.
