Abstract

This study examines the effects of traumatic life experiences on family life, child-rearing attitudes, and depression levels. It focuses on the coping skills, depression levels, and child-rearing attitudes of women who have experienced the loss of a spouse. The research findings indicate that women who are more resilient to traumatic life events tend to be more successful in child-rearing after the loss of a spouse, and their levels of depression significantly influence this process. Additionally, it was found that as depression and psychological symptoms intensified, grief behaviors became more pronounced. The study emphasizes that psychological resilience in the face of traumatic events plays a crucial role in family dynamics and the child-rearing process. It highlights the need for strengthening support mechanisms for women dealing with such experiences. + ++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
