dc.descriptionThousands of people have died of COVID-19 in El Salvador. However, little is known about the mental health of those who are mourning the loss of a loved one to COVID-19. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the dys‑ functional grief associated with COVID-19 death among Salvadoran adults. A sample of 435 Salvadorans (M=29 years; SD=8.75) who lost a family member or loved one to COVID-19 completed a digital survey using the Google Forms platform, during April 2 and 28, 2022. The results revealed that 35.1% reported clinically elevated symptoms of dys‑ functional grief and among those mourners, and 25.1% also exhibited clinical levels of coronavirus anxiety. A binary logistic regression revealed that predictor variables such as COVID-19 anxiety (p=.003), depression (p=.021), and COVID-19 obsession (p=.032) were signifcant (χ2=84.31; Nagelkerke R2=.242) and predict a 24.2% chance of dys‑ functional bereavement.
