Description
Myong-Wuk Chon and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 on social support among student survivors of the Sewol ferry disaster, which killed 304 of 476 passengers in 2014. Sixty-six student survivors were assessed twice a year from 2016 to 2021. Surveys measured support, traumatic stress, and complicated grief.
Support paths split into four groups, from low starting support to the highest. One group started moderate and rose over time. Compared with the highest support group, that rising group had a higher risk of strong traumatic stress symptoms. Both the low group and the rising group faced higher risk of probable complicated grief. The authors say students with low or shifting support need closest watching.
