We used data from 482 shidu parents (Mage = 66.63, SDage = 6.88) who reported perceived support (overall and by specific source, family, peer, and others), depressive symptoms, perceived stigma, and demographic characteristics. Linear regressions showed that family support and others support were negatively associated with depressive symptoms, consistent with the finding for overall perceived support, whereas peer support was not in the main-effect analysis. Perceived stigma consistently moderated associations with depressive symptoms across overall and source-specific support: social support was negatively associated with depressive symptoms when stigma was low, but not when stigma was high. These findings refine our understanding of social support and inform stigma-reduction to maximize its psychological benefits for shidu parents.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149215328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following findings were reported. First, event centrality had a significant positive impact on prolonged grief. Second, grief avoidance had a significant positive mediating effect on the relationship between event centrality and prolonged grief. Third, meaning reconstruction demonstrated a significant negative mediating effect on the relationship between event centrality and prolonged grief. Fourth, grief avoidance and meaning reconstruction had a significant parallel mediating effect on the relationship between event centrality and prolonged grief.

Participants (N = 451) completed measures assessing socio-demographic characteristics, personality traits, mental health indicators, and religious variables. All 14 predictors were entered simultaneously into a regression model to identify variables associated with death anxiety. Five variables emerged as significant predictors: female gender, Arab ethnicity, neuroticism, generalized anxiety, and negative religious coping. In contrast, traditionally assumed protective variables, including optimism, self-esteem, religious participation, and positive religious coping, did not retain associations after accounting for shared variance. Findings suggest that psychological vulnerability, emotional instability, and spiritual struggle may demonstrate stronger direct associations with death anxiety than commonly presumed protective resources. Protective factors may instead operate indirectly through broader emotional and psychological processes. Findings are discussed from existential, clinical, and sociocultural perspectives across contemporary theoretical frameworks.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149180063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA). The findings reveal the phenomenon of \"bereavement under betrayal\"-a condition in which the processing of loss is complicated and blocked by a profound rupture in the institutional contract. This foundation was formed by prior \"epistemic injustice\" (the systematic dismissal of their professional warnings before the disaster), which turned the death of their peers into an event perceived as a preventable failure. Additionally, the study demonstrates how random survival circumstances trigger intense counterfactual thinking, generating severe survivor guilt and hindering meaning reconstruction processes. The sense of abandonment-whether experienced directly at the base or mediated from afar through the media-prevents the survivors from adopting the official state narrative of heroism, leading to alienation and moral injury. In conclusion, the study emphasizes that the psychological rehabilitation of this type of complex bereavement is contingent upon institutional acknowledgment of responsibility for the failure.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149179934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assessed associations between war-related bereavement and mental health outcomes during the ongoing war in Israel. An online survey of 948 young adults (18-30 years) was conducted between July and September 2025. Exposures included war-related and non-war-related bereavement. Outcomes were posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), depressive symptoms, and mental well-being. Multivariable regression models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, war-related stressors, health factors, and resilience resources. Overall, 30.4% reported war-related bereavement. War-related bereavement was associated with higher PTSS and depressive symptoms and lower well-being; non-war-related bereavement was associated with depressive symptoms only. Economic hardship, media exposure, and poor health were linked to worse outcomes, whereas resilience and social support were protective. War-related bereavement is an important risk factor for distress among young adults in conflict settings.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149164354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Suicide attempts occur far more frequently than suicide deaths and represent one of the strongest predictors of future suicide; however, lived experiences of suicide attempt survivors are underexplored. This review draws on qualitative research to critically synthesize evidence on the lived experiences of suicide attempt survivors. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across five databases on qualitative studies reporting first-person accounts of suicide attempt survivors' lived experiences. Data from 31 studies were analyzed using thematic synthesis yielding four categories: triggers and risk factors that lead to suicidality, psychological meanings of the attempt, help-seeking and systemic responses, and factors involved in recovery. The meta-synthesis highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of suicidality, emphasizing the need to understand suicide attempts within psychological, relational, and sociocultural contexts, to support trauma-informed, culturally responsive care and for improving healthcare professionals' responses.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149164713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
