| Abstract: | Health status, health care utilization, and health behaviors of parents bereaved by the violent deaths of their adolescent and young adult children were examined 4, 12, and 24 months later. Participants were 261 bereaved parents (171 mothers, 90 fathers). About 20% of the parents reported 'poor' physical health during the early bereavement period compared with 16% of Americans the same age. Over time, mothers' health improved whereas fathers' health deteriorated. Fathers in poor health compared with fathers in good health are 15 times more likely to report emotional distress and 4.6 times more likely to report trauma symptoms. Mothers in poor health compared with mothers in good health are 11 times more likely to report emotional distress and 3 times more likely to report trauma symptoms. Mothers' reports of physician visits and medication use were higher than fathers', however, mothers' rates for both decreased significantly over time whereas fathers' Alternatively, persons exposed to traumatic stress are know oversubscribe to avoidant and repressive coping strategies (Cameron, Leventhal, & Leventhal, 1995; Koss et al., 1991; nebaker & Beall, 1986; Ullman & Siegel, 1996). Thus, war signals of impending illness may not be interpreted accurately, which also may result in ignoring symptoms and delaying help seeking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
