Unlike in other countries, research in Spain in this issue are still scarce, due-amongst other reasons-to misinformation and silence. The present study aims to highlight the lack of processing of traumatic loss across the first, second, and third generations of descendant…
Grief Trajectories in Men and Women
Gender differences in grief expression have been widely studied, yet findings remain inconsistent. Some research reports higher grief intensity in women, while others find no difference. Two possible explanations are: (a) the neglect of third variables interacting with gender, and (b) men and women follow distinct grief trajectories. This study employed an observational longitudinal design to examine both hypotheses using data from Canada, Belgiu…
Sociodemographic and emotional variables in individuals experiencing grief
Grief is the natural, adaptive response that follows a significant loss, such as the death of a loved one. In some cases, this process can become complicated, leading to an intensification of grief that causes discomfort and interferes with day-to-day functioning, which may result in prolonged grief symptoms (PGS). The aim of this study was to identify the main predictors of PGS in the context of the pandemic. A longitudinal study with follow-up …
Gender differences in grief and growth
The grieving process exhibits significant variability influenced by cultural and gender factors. Inconsistencies in gender and cultural differences may be explained by the overrepresentation of bereaved women in the samples. This study explores gender differences in grief and post-traumatic growth (PTG) across Belgium, Canada, and Spain. Utilizing a gender-matched controlled design, the study analyzed data from 244 men and 244 women. Each man was…
The impact of heteropatriarchy and support on grief in sexual minorities
Social support is a crucial element in the grieving process. However, in some social groups, such support may be absent or available only in a limited way. This would be the case for sexual minorities, who face prejudice, stigma, and rejection. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the particularities of grief experienced by sexual minorities following the loss of a partner, using a Spanish sample. Individual semi-structured interviews …
Effects of an executive function programme (Pefen) on preschool children
The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of a programme for the stimulation of executive functions ( Programa para la Estimulación de las Funciones Ejecutivas — PEFEN) in preschool children (aged five years) with no pathologies. A total of 40 children participated. They were distributed into two groups (intervention and control groups) and were evaluated at two different moments in time (before and after the intervention) using t…
Gender-based violence and its long-term impact on women’s mental health in Andalusia (Spain)
The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between surviving gender-based violence (GBV) and the long-term presence of clinical symptoms and psychological distress. This was a cross-sectional study of 105 women, 54 of whom had experienced GBV more than three years prior to the study. Participants ranged in age from 24 to 73 years old. They were assessed using a semi-structured interview, instruments to assess self-esteem, maladjustm…
Actions taken and barriers encountered by professionals working with adults with intellectual disabilities who experience grief
Experience of grief has increased among people with intellectual disability because of their longer life expectancy. Professionals supporting this population are often critical of the lack of adequate tools for dealing with this situation. The objective of this study was to identify the strategies and barriers that these professionals are confronted with when dealing people with intellectual disability who are going through the grieving process. …
Validity of the Computerized Battery for Neuropsychological Evaluation of Children (Benci) in Spanish Children
Study of the neurodevelopment of children is vital to promote good quality of life during childhood. Few batteries showing adequate reliability and validity indices are available to evaluate the different neuropsychological domains. The objective of this study was to obtain initial evidence on the validity of the Computerized Battery for Neuropsychological Evaluation of Children (BENCI) in a Spanish population. To assess the validity of the BENCI…
A New Instrument to Assess Children’s Understanding of Death
The acquisition of the death concept in children may influence how these children cope with the losses that they will confront throughout their lives. At the present time, there is a lack of psychometric instruments in Spanish-speaking countries in order to evaluate the components of the death concept in children. The aim of this study was to create and validate a scale (EsCoMu-Escala sobre el Concepto de Muerte) in order to provide insight about…
Differences in Neuropsychological Performance between Refugee and Non-Refugee Children in Palestine
Neuropsychological studies on refugee children are scarce, but there are even less in the case of Palestinian children. This work aims to study the neuropsychological performance of Palestinian refugee children in Palestine compared to other Palestinian children living outside refugee camps. A comprehensive Neuropsychological battery was administrated to 584 Palestinian school children (464 refugees and 120 non-refugees) aged 6, 7, and 8 years ol…
The Importance of Spirituality for Women Facing Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Breast cancer remains significantly distressing and produces profound changes in women's lives. Spirituality is an important resource at the time of diagnosis and treatment decisions. This qualitative study aimed to explore the spiritual experience of women diagnosed with breast cancer and the considerations of spirituality in health care using the existential phenomenology approach. The sampling procedure was intentional, based on the study's ex…
Influence of Socio-Economic Status on Psychopathology in Ecuadorian Children
The socioeconomic status (SES) of parents has been reported to have a crucial impact on emotional competence in childhood. However, studies have largely been carried out in developed countries and in children in a specific age range, and it is not clear whether the effect of the SES of parents varies by age. The objective of this study was to investigate the psychopathological profile (including externalizing and internalizing problems) of childr…
Quality of Life and Concerns in Parent Caregivers of Adult Children Diagnosed with Intellectual Disability
Background: Previous studies have confirmed that parenting a child diagnosed with an intellectual disability (ID) can negatively affect the parents' quality of life in several dimensions. However, fewer have assessed its impact years after the initial diagnosis. The objective of this work was to carry out an in-depth analysis of the current quality of life and concerns of both mothers and fathers of adults diagnosed with ID, having as a reference…
Grief Experiences in Family Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
The main objective of this study was to analyse the experience of grief and feelings of loss in family caregivers of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as the perceived overload from taking on the primary caregiver role. Twenty family caregivers of children with ASD participated. The family members were assessed using an ad-hoc semi-structured interview that addressed the families’ reactions to the diagnosis, implicat…
