Abstract
|
|
|
|
While the concept of complicated grief has not yet been fully characterized in the literature, complicated grief is conceptualized as distinct from depression and PTSD in Western cultures. The present study examined risk factors of complicated grief in 859 Korean adults over age 65. This study identified that being male, lower age, higher death anxiety, and having experience of suicidal bereavement were associated with higher level of complicated grief. The ICG-K may help to identify individuals at risk for complicated grief in order to help practitioners to target interventions effectively.
