Abstract

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 (χ² = 84.31; Nagelkerke R² = .242) and predict a 24.2% chance of dysfunctional bereavement.

萨尔瓦多的大流行性悲伤：预测萨尔瓦多成年人因 COVID-19 死亡而出现功能失调性悲伤的因素。

在萨尔瓦多，已有数千人死于 COVID-19。然而，人们对那些因 COVID-19 而失去亲人的人的心理健康知之甚少。因此，本研究旨在探讨萨尔瓦多成年人因 COVID-19 死亡而产生的功能性悲伤。在 2022 年 4 月 2 日至 28 日期间，435 名因 COVID-19 而失去家人或亲人的萨尔瓦多人（男 = 29 岁；女 = 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%的悼念者报告了临床症状加重的功能失调性悲伤，25.1%的悼念者还表现出临床水平的冠状病毒焦虑。二元逻辑回归显示，COVID-19 焦虑（p = .003）、抑郁（p = .021）和 COVID-19 迷恋（p = .032）等预测变量具有显著性（χ2 = 84.31；Nagelkerke R2 = .242），可预测 24.2% 的功能失调性丧亲的几率。
