“…The study utilized a questionnaire that included 17 questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the caregivers and patients and 13 questions about both their religious and cultural rituals during the mourning period. Questions regarding the rituals were generated from the literature (Okan, 2019 ; Ahluwalia & Mohabir, 2017 ; Düzgün et al, 2016 ; Ahaddour et al, 2020 ; Kuijt, 2020 ; Özel & Özkan, 2020 ) and a Google Scholar search using “religious and cultural practices in the mourning period in Turkey.”…”

This study identifies the religious and cultural mourning rituals used by family members who provided care for palliative care patients. The study was conducted between January and February 2021. The research population was composed of family and community caregivers for patients in a palliative care unit at a hospital. The sample size was 245 people. An examination of the food rituals of caregivers during the mourning period showed that 47.3% thought it was appropriate to cook at the deceased patient’s residence for 7 days during the mourning period, 59.6% read Mawleed (prayer ritual) on the 3rd day after death and 56.3% offered halwa (food ritual) on the 3rd day. An examination of the religious rituals of the caregivers during the mourning period revealed that 97.6% prayed on the first day, 59.6% recited prayers for the lost one on the first ‘Eid after a death, and 83.3% read the Qur’an on the anniversary of the death. The study revealed that the majority of caregivers carried out religious and cultural rituals.

“…These traditionally take the form of removals from the undertakers at which wider members of the community paid their condolences to the bereaved family, followed by gatherings of family, friends and neighbours in the bereaved household that precede the funeral, known as wakes . Wakes in Ireland have been the subject of historical research, but there is little research on their role in contemporary rural Irish communities (Kuijt et al., 2021). In practice, they continue to be social occasions at which there is an expectation that members of the bereaved persons extended family, neighbours, friends and social network gather to offer social and emotional support to the family through the sharing of stories of the bereaved.…”

Continuity, change and new ways of being: An exploratory assessment of farmer's experiences and responses to public health restrictions during the COVID‐19 pandemic in a rural Irish community

et al. 2023

Farming occupations are, in the Global North, generally solitary, and a growing body of research identifies this as one of the factors that underpins low levels of wellbeing and poor mental health amongst farmers. The primary public health response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic focused on reducing transmission of the virus by limiting interactions of people. This article seeks to assess the impact of these restrictions on farmer's experience of isolation and how it shaped their wellbeing. Applying a broad socio‐ecological framework, we analyse change, continuity and shifts in social and economic relations and their spatial reconfiguration during the COVID‐19 pandemic as recounted in semi‐structured, qualitative interviews. We found that while COVID‐19 has disrupted socio‐spatial relations, including key sites of socialisation for farmers and rural communities, occupational isolation was viewed as a positive feature of farming as was working in nature. Familial and informal networks of support were important throughout the pandemic, while novel engagements with communication technologies facilitated both change and continuity of social and economic interaction. Whilst these findings are broadly positive, the reconfiguration of, particularly, economic relations is viewed as accelerating the turn towards service delivery using technology and, consequently, further reducing opportunities for social interaction.

“…Materials and consumption practices have been used to deal with the mourning and memorialization process throughout history (Kuijt et al, 2020). Materials that generate meanings and memories for death and the deceased are seen as constitutive of ideologies (Fogelin, 2007) and therapeutic tools (Hinton, 1963).…”

Death-Related Status Consumption: Scale Development and Validation

Although it has been widely discussed in the literature, no scale has yet been developed to measure the consumption aspect of death. This study aims to develop a domain-specific death-related status consumption (DRSC) scale to bridge this gap in the field. Results reveal the following three dimensions of the scale: conspicuousness, planning, and showing respect. In four studies, which collate the views of 1,302 participants, both students and adults, the DRSC demonstrates internal consistency and validity across cultures (Turkey, the U.S., and culturally diverse sample). The importance of such a scale for the field is discussed.
