Abstract

This study examines the relationship between three common mental health disorders—anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder—in the first year of spousal bereavement and a myriad of social factors—including the security of health insurance and the presence of children at home—among those who have been widowed. We analyzed a novel survey of 503 widows who had participated in the Modern Widows’ Club Widows Empowerment Event. We then used logistic regression to investigate the relationship between these variables, discovering nuance between them. Our findings further elucidate the need for health and mental health providers to be attuned to the unique psychosocial needs of widows, especially among the first year of widowhood.

丧偶与心理健康:丧偶妇女心理健康障碍的社会预测因素
本研究考察了丧偶妇女在丧偶后第一年出现的三种常见心理健康障碍——焦虑、抑郁和创伤后应激障碍——与无数的社会因素——包括医疗保险的保障和家里是否有孩子——之间的关系。我们分析了一项对参加现代寡妇俱乐部寡妇赋权活动的503名寡妇的新调查。然后,我们使用逻辑回归来研究这些变量之间的关系,发现它们之间的细微差别。我们的研究结果进一步阐明了健康和心理健康提供者需要适应寡妇的独特心理社会需求,特别是在守寡的第一年。
