“…Loneliness and the necessity to cope with life on one's own add to the physical load and health issues (Clarke-Stewart & Brentano, 2006). Divorcees often experience a deterioration of health status and symptoms of mental disorders (Kitson & Morgan, 1990;Thuen, 2001). Researchers prove adverse health consequences, i.e., problems with physical, emotional, and social well-being in divorced men and women (Scourfield & Evans, 2014;Symoens et al, 2014;Zafar & Kausar, 2014).…”

Background Divorce is a transition period in which divorcing individuals face restructuring of the family system and adjustment to changes. The psychological well-being of divorcees can serve as an important indicator of the adjustment process. The achievement of well-being does not come easily for many reasons, one of which is the experience related to a sense of loss associated with the marriage break-up. Social support is a major relational resource for overcoming the crisis and successfully adjusting to post-divorce life. Participants and procedure The sample consisted of 157 individuals after divorce: 120 women and 37 men (mean age = 41.29). Instruments employed in the study included the Sense of Loss Scale (DS), the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL), the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ-23), and sociodemographic data. Results Our results show that perceived social support is a partial mediator of the relationship between the sense of loss associated with divorce and the psychological well-being of individuals after divorce. For the vast majority of the respondents their parents, friends and acquaintances were the major source of support. About one third of the participants were given support by their siblings and their own children. Conclusions The study confirms the mediating role of support in building well-being after experiencing loss related to dissolution of marriage. This means that for divorced women and men perceived social support is one of the key resources that have a significant impact on achieving psychological well-being after divorce, since it is related to mitigating the negative impact of the sense of loss associated with marriage break-up.

“…An important factor of adjustment for divorced parents is the social support network (Kitson & Morgan, 1990), and it is fair to assume that this is also the case for children. In fact, social support is fundamental to coping with stressful events (Cunningham & Barbee, 2000) which, in turn, is important for overall well-being (Burleson & MacGeorge, 2004).…”

“…Prawitz vd., (2006) tarafından yapılan çalışmada bu oran %76 olarak bulunmuştur.

“…Literatürde, tek ebeveynliğin diğer etkenlerden bağımsız olarak yoksulluğa neden olduğunu dolayısıyla bu ailelerin finansal sıkıntılar yaşamaya daha yatkın olduklarını iddia eden çalışmalar da mevcuttur (Bernheim, Scholz,1993;Carney, Gale, 1999;Goldberg, 1990;Kitson, Morgan, 1990;Lee vd., 1999;Lino, 1995;Norton, Glick, 1986;Oliver, Shapiro, 1995;Schmidt, 2004;Winchester, 1990;Wolff, 2001;Anderson, 2003;Lokshin, Popkin, 1999). Finansal sıkıntı; bir kişinin genel finansal refahına ilişkin, zihinsel veya fiziksel rahatsızlıkları gibi, göstermiş oldukları tepkiler olarak tanımlanabilir.…”
