COMPLICATED GRIEF AND DEATH ANXIETY AMONG OLDER KOREANS WITH SPOUSAL BEREAVEMENT
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study was aimed to empirically verify the relationship between complicated grief and death anxiety among the bereaved older adults. The sample consisted of 815 bereaved adults aged 65 and over living in the community. Dependent variable was measured with the Death Anxiety Scale-Korean version (DAS-K), and independent variable was measured with the Inventory of Complicated Grief-Korean version (ICG-K). Adjusting for demographic, psychosocial, and health variables, multiple regression analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.0. The results showed that complicated grief was significantly associated with death anxiety among the bereaved (p<001). This suggests that the unhealed emotional and physical pain after spousal bereavement stimulates death anxiety. Older adults who suffer from complicated grief often fail to integrate the bereavement and loss into reality, and may not accept the death phenomenon itself. Therefore, anxiety and fear of death can emerge when they cannot acknowledge the bereavement. Interventions to enhance adaptation to bereavement should be provided in order to manage complicated grief and alleviate death anxiety.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
