We examined these associations among 1946 older women (mean age =84.6 years) in the Women's Health Initiative who experienced spousal or partner loss during COVID-19. Changes in social connection, physical activity, and positive psychological attributes were evaluated in relation to yearning, intrusive thoughts, and depressive symptoms. Multinomial and binary logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios; stepwise regression identified parsimonious models. Severe loneliness was associated with approximately threefold higher odds of intense yearning, intrusive thoughts, and depressive symptoms. Conversely, greater optimism, purpose in life, and spiritual well-being correlated with lower symptom burden. More frequent walking was associated with lower depressive symptom odds. These findings highlight potentially modifiable psychosocial and lifestyle factors associated with grief-related and depressive symptoms among bereaved older women.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149105574","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 explored whether previously unexamined individual-difference factors and experimental priming of felt security (i.e., confidence in support availability) can influence supportive responses to a bereaved peer among university students (N = 202; 76% female; 44% White, 24% Asian, 15% Black, 10% Multiracial, 8% other identities). Attachment insecurity (avoidance and anxiety) predicted less supportive responses, whereas previous personal experience with loss predicted more supportive responses. Students who were randomly assigned to a brief experimental intervention to boost felt security (i.e., security priming) reported being more likely to help a bereaved peer. Security priming also moderated the associations between attachment avoidance (but not anxiety) and both empathy and personal distress. Additionally, previous experience with loss strengthened the association between security priming and lower caregiving anxiety. This study offers insights into factors that may bolster peer support for bereaved individuals.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149073917","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 translated, culturally adapted, and examined the psychometric properties of the Spanish Gatekeeper Self-Efficacy Scale (GKSES). A total of 255 students completed the GKSES alongside measures of suicide literacy, attitudes toward suicidal behavior, and suicidal ideation. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor model with adequate fit and high internal consistency. Configural, metric, and scalar invariance were supported across gender and faculty. GKSES scores showed a positive association with suicide literacy, whereas the expected association with attitudes toward suicidal behavior was not supported. Past-year suicidal ideation was associated with GKSES scores and examined as an external correlate.

Drawing on in-depth interviews with 18 mothers who experienced such loss, the findings conceptualize motherhood as an ongoing process of moral negotiation shaped by responsibility, legitimacy, and loss. Three interrelated domains were identified: normalization practices that reframe the loss within a shared field of vulnerability; relational engagement with remaining children, through which maternal legitimacy is renegotiated; and the emergence of new life, where subsequent pregnancies and births introduce possibilities for both maternal reaffirmation and renewed destabilization. Across these domains, maternal identity is not restored but continuously negotiated under conditions of persistent self-doubt and social scrutiny. These processes are closely tied to psychological distress and efforts to sustain caregiving. The findings highlight the need for trauma-informed, non-blaming, and identity-sensitive approaches in supporting bereaved mothers.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149029793","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}

A qualitative research design was adopted, including 37 members of the interdisciplinary team from an Italian hospice. According to team members, patients and their relatives frequently report perceived non-ordinary end-of-life experiences (NOEoLEs). While patients typically respond positively to such experiences, relatives may experience fear or distress. Healthcare professionals tend to have positive or emotionally neutral responses, often interpreting NOEoLEs as a meaningful and legitimate part of the end-of-life process. Encounters with NOEoLEs appear to influence care practices and foster reflection on personal spirituality and views of death and the afterlife. Overall, these experiences may enhance patient care, improve support to relatives, and contribute to shifts in personal perspective on life and death.","PeriodicalId":11041,"journal":{"name":"Death Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149024019","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}

After accounting for age and gender, psychological distress and the Emptiness and Meaninglessness subscale of meaning making were associated with psychological adjustment in both groups. Among U.S. participants, age and the Being Present subscale of meaning making were positively associated with psychological adjustment, whereas the Sense of Peace subscale of meaning making was negatively associated.
