This study evaluates the reliability and validity of the TR-DOS in the Turkish context and estimates the prevalence of ON among university students. Several studies have shown that translating the DOS into various linguistic groups may exhibit different models of DOS scores. However, the psychometric properties and model fit of the DOS have not yet been investigated in Turkish-speaking populations; to address this gap, we assessed the psychometric properties of a Turkish translation of DOS (TR-DOS) in a sample of 425 university students in Türkiye. The TR-DOS revealed a 7.3% ON prevalence and a 9.0% risk of development. Weak positive associations were observed between TR-DOS total scores and BMI (<i>r</i> = 0.152, <i>p</i> = .002).

This study aimed to identify the variables associated with prolonged grief symptoms in the context of both pandemic-related losses and the unique challenges related to end-of-life care. An anonymous online survey was disseminated widely through various channels including local press, social media, professional networks and hospitals. Socio-demographic information was collected, as well as information related to loss (cause of death, place of end-of-life care and death) and bereavement, and on the impact of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. The participants were 163 bereaved who lost a loved one who received end-of-life care during the pandemic in Portugal. Most participants were female, married, professionally active and had lost their grandparents. A hierarchical multiple regression was performed to determine the factors associated with prolonged grief symptoms. The results showed that more prolonged grief symptoms were associated with less social support, worsening of the financial situation, greater psychological impact of restrictions on communicating with the deceased, and the deceas having received end-of-life care in a hospital. The early identification based on these factors of individuals at higher risk for more prolonged grief symptoms could allow for targeted interventions and support services.This study unveils crucial factors contributing to heightened grief amid pandemic-related losses and challenges in end-of-life care, which provide practical insights for healthcare practitioners.

These categories highlight the diversity in mental health status among the students, influenced by demographic factors such as gender, age, and social circles. The findings reveal that female students and those with fewer friends are more likely to fall into vulnerable or troubled groups, whereas having a larger social network serves as a protective factor enhancing wellbeing.
