Abstract

The present study aims at acknowledging the extent of social coping among bereaved parents who have lost an offspring due to sudden death in the West Bank and Jerusalem and its relation with the level of parents’ religiosity and the circumstances of the offspring’s death. The accumulative approach, with its both parts the descriptive and the deductive, has been used for this study and the sample consist of 298 mothers and fathers who lost their offspring due to sudden death. They have all agreed to take part in this study. The sample members have come from different areas in Jerusalem; Bethlehem; Hebron; Ramallah; Nablus; and Jericho, in addition to villages and camps in the West Bank and Jerusalem. A questionnaire has been especially designed for the purpose of this study. The results indicate that there are significant differences among the parents’ cooping in terms of religiosity. For as, the parents who were more religious, were also more accepting compared to the parents who were less religious. Moreover, the results also indicate that the parents who lost an offspring due to sudden death such as martyrdom, drowning, and killing were less accepting and coping compared to the parents who have lost an offspring to illness and other causes.

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى محاولة التعرف على وجود فروق في مدى التكيف الاجتماعي لدى الوالدين الفاقدين أبناءهم من الضفة الغربية والقدس جراء الموت المفاجئ تعزى إلى مدى تدينهم، والظروف المحيطة بالوفاة. وقد تم استخدام منهج المسح الاجتماعي لمناسبته هذا النوع من الدراسات، حيث تكونت العينة من 298 من الآباء والأمهات الذين فقدوا أبناءهم جراء الموت المفاجئ وأبدوا استعدادهم المشاركة في البحث موزعة على مناطق: القدس، وبيت لحم، والخليل، ورام الله، ونابلس، وأريحا، ما بين مدن وقرى ومخيمات في الضفة الغربية والقدس. وقد صمم استبيان أعد لغرض البحث الحالي، وأشارت النتائج إلى وجود فروق في مدى تكيف الوالدين تعزى إلى مدى تدينهم، وكذلك وجود فروق في مدى تكيف الوالدين تعزى إلى الظروف المحيطة بالوفاة، حيث تبين بأن الوالدين المتدينين أكثر تكيفا من الوالدين الأقل تدينا، كما تبين بأن الوالدين الفاقدين أبناءهم جراء الموت المفاجئ بسبب الاستشهاد يليها الغرق والقتل، هم أقل تكيفا من الوالدين الفاقدين أبناءهم بسبب المرض وأسباب أخرى.
