  • exploring the role of perceived vs observed behavioral outcomes in parental Grief Reaction following pediatric acquired brain injury
    NeuroRehabilitation, 2019
    Co-Authors: Einat Yehene, Amichai Brezner, Sapir Golan, Janna Landa, Maya Gerner
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Pediatric acquired brain injury may result in a significant gap between the "pre" and "post-injury" child. OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantitatively explore the mechanism underlying parents' loss experience by examining the mediating role of behavioral outcomes (observed-problems and perceived-change) in the relationship between injury severity and Grief. METHOD The study employed a cross-sectional retrospective design and comprised 40 parents of children (aged 3-18 years) with moderate-severe brain injury. Data for each parent included an adapted version of the Two-Track Bereavement Questionnaire and Socio-demographics; Data for each child included the child's Information Processing Speed Index; the Child Behavioral Checklist and Parental Perception of Behavioral Changes scale. RESULTS Slowed information processing speed was significantly associated with elevated ratings on both measures of behavioral outcomes and with intensified Grief. Mediation analyses revealed that parental perceived behavioral change, significantly mediate the relationship between information processing speed and Grief; the Child Behavioral Checklist total score also mediated the same relationship but only in 90% confidence interval. CONCLUSIONS Findings reveal the adverse impact of behavioral outcomes on Grief and suggest parents' loss experience to be stemming primarily from their subjective perception over their "changed-child", rather than the observed problems. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.

  • Morbid Grief III: The influence of variables on the degree of Grief Reaction, depression and anxiety among close relatives of the "red-terror" victims
    Ethiopian Journal of Health Development, 1997
    Co-Authors: Abdulreshid Abdullahi Bekry, Mohammed Haji Hyder Ali
    Abstract:

    Abstract: To analyze some of the variables of the bereaved and of the victims that could significantly influence the degree of Grief Reaction, depression and anxiety, 91 randomly selected close relatives of victims of the ‘red-terror’ have completed the ETIG (Expanded Texas Inventory of Grief), BDI (Beck Depression Inventory), and SAI (State Anxiety Inventory) 18 years after the loss. All these questionnaires are self-rating, Amharic-translated and with acceptable face validity, but they are not yet concurrently validated with their corresponding English versions. The results have shown that the older age group (60-79 yrs) had a mean score of (131.63) on ETIG which is significantly higher (P

    Abstract: To analyze some of the variables of the bereaved and of the victims that could significantly influence the degree of Grief Reaction, depression and anxiety, 91 randomly selected close relatives of victims of the ‘red-terror’ have completed the ETIG (Expanded Texas Inventory of Grief), BDI (Beck Depression Inventory), and SAI (State Anxiety Inventory) 18 years after the loss. All these questionnaires are self-rating, Amharic-translated and with acceptable face validity, but they are not yet concurrently validated with their corresponding English versions. The results have shown that the older age group (60-79 yrs) had a mean score of (131.63) on ETIG which is significantly higher (P<0.05) than that (118.56) of the youngest age group (20-39 yrs). The widows/ers had the highest mean score (139.95) on ETIG which is significantly higher (P<0.01 and P<0.001) than those of married (124.83) and singles (117.61), respectively. They were also found to have a mean score of 56.62 on SAI which is significantly higher (P<0.05) than that of singles (47.70) only. Parents who lost son(s) had a mean score of 132.26 on ETIG which is significantly higher (P<0.01) than those who lost brother(s) (118.93). Among the variables of the victims, where the dead body was given to relatives for funeral services, the mean score on the ETIG was 109.2 and this was found to be significantly lower (P<0.02 and P<0.001) than where the dead body was left on the street and not given to relatives (127.89) or where the dead body was neither left on the street nor given to relatives (129), respectively. It was recommended that the older age group, widows/ers, parents who lost son(s) and those who could not confirm the death of the victim by seeing the dead body, should get priority for counselling.
