(2015) Alvarado Ortega, Nataly Fernanda; Webster Cordero, Felipe Edmundo
The main goal of this study is to identify the strategies when dealing with the elaboration of mourning due to a parent’s death, and the spheres of the world that are affected in adults. Therefore, it was posed to distinguish between male and female: the confrontation strategies and the spheres of the world that are the most affected. It was carried a qualitative study with an exploratory and descriptive scope where it was used a no random accidental sample of fifteen men and fifteen women within an age range from 18 to 60. The outcomes demonstrated that in male and female after a parent´s loss, the most affected sphere of the world is the personality. As to the confrontation strategies, significant differences were found between male and female. Women reached a high level when seeking strategies namely the search of social support, acknowledgment of the responsibility, planning, escape-avoidance, positive reevaluation and recognition while men registered low rates in these strategies.
