Abstract

Widowhood rites are widely believed to be practices that a bereaved spouse must undergo upon becoming a widow in many parts of the world. It is the time period during which a woman transitions from being a wife to being a widow in her family and community. Different societies associate widowhood with a variety of different customs and values, which have a significant impact on how it is experienced. This article therefore sought to examine the practice among some Ethnic groups in Ghana and some African countries.

Abstract

The study explored the psychological experiences of Senior High School students and their coping strategies in selected Senior High Schools in Ghana in the wake of the third wave of Covid-19. Data for the study were purposely collected from 20 respondents using a semi-structured interview guide and analysed thematically. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of students in Senior High Schools are confused and have a feeling of anxiety whilst on campus in the wake of the third wave of Covid-19. It was further established that Senior High School students cope by building relationships with their teachers and as well with their colleagues in school and adherence to state laid down protocols. The contribution of Guidance and Counselling units in the schools played a great role in helping students cope psychologically.
