Abstract

Of the Wenchuan earthquake victims, there was a special group who lost their only child, known as the Shidu parents. The purpose of this paper is to examine social support as a moderator between resilience and quality of life (QOL) in Shidu parents. A cross-sectional sample survey was conducted to collect data from 22 earthquake-stricken counties in Sichuan province. Of the Shidu parents from the Wenchuan earthquake, being of Han ethnicity, receiving a high monthly income, having a high education, having lost a younger child (18–27), and having lost a male child were all risk factors for a lower QOL (p < 0.05). This study highlighted that different types of social support have different roles in building resilience and improving QOL. The results emphasized the importance of developing suitable social support strategies as mediators to improve resilience and the QOL in Shidu parents.
