    (University of Ilorin, 2017) AJOKPANIOVO, Michael
    Parents play a decisive role in children’s academic and social development. The demise of the parent has a huge emotional impact on a child. This study investigated grief reactions, coping strategies and counselling needs of in-school adolescents faced with parental loss in Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to find out: (i) the grief reactions; (ii) coping strategies adopted; (iii) counselling needs of adolescents faced with parental loss; and (iv) if significant differences existed based on gender, religion, geo-political zone and adolescent’s age at parental loss. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population for this study comprised all inschool adolescents faced with parental loss in Nigeria. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select 432 in-school adolescents. A researcher-developed instrument entitled Questionnaire on Grief Reactions, Coping Strategies and Counselling Needs of Nigerian inschool Adolescents faced with Parental Loss was used for data collection. Means and inferential statistics were used to analyse the collected data. Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was applied as a post-hoc measure to locate where the differences exist in the tested hypotheses. The findings of the study were that: (i) the grief reactions of in-school adolescents faced with parental loss is high and these reactions include having mood swing (𝑋 ̅ =3.71), depression (𝑋 ̅=3.62) and nervousness/anxiety (𝑋 ̅=3.43); (ii) some coping strategies adopted by the students include listening to inspirational music (𝑋 ̅=2.77), listening to motivational talks from religious leaders (𝑋 ̅=2.65) and reading scriptural passages to relieve tensions or anxiety(𝑋 ̅ =2.63); (iii) counselling are more needed in the areas of educational concerns (𝑋 ̅=2.81), emotional concerns (𝑋 ̅ =2.62) and personal concerns (𝑋 ̅=2.60); (iv) there were significant differences were found in the grief reactions of in-school adolescents faced with parental loss t = 3.30, p<0.05; coping strategies adopted t = 5.22, p<0.05 and counselling needs t = 3.83, p<0.05 based on gender; (v) no significant difference was found in the grief reactions of in-school adolescents faced with parental loss. Significant differences were found in the coping strategies adopted (F(2, 429) = 19.27; p<0.05) and counselling needs (F2, 429) = 17.45; p<0.05) based on religion; (vi) no significant difference was found in the grief reactions, coping strategies adopted and counselling needs of Nigerian in-school adolescents faced with parental loss based on zone; and (vii) on the basis of age at parental loss, significant differences were found in the grief reactions of in-school adolescents faced with parental loss t = 4.46, p<0.05; coping strategies adopted t = 3.46, p<0.05. This study concluded that adolescents faced with parental loss need counselling more in the areas of educational and emotional concerns. The implication of the study is that there were insufficient enlightenment programmes and sensitisation on the reality of death in secondary schools. The study therefore recommended that counsellors should include in their enlightenment programmes to the students, the reality of death as well as how to get the right support when faced with parental loss.

This study examined the influence of parenting styles on in-school adolescents’ delinquent behaviours in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, while also exploring the moderating effects of gender, school location, and class level. A descriptive survey design was employed, with 396 adolescents selected using purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques. Data were gathered using the Parenting Styles and Delinquent Behaviour Questionnaire (PSDBQ), which had a reliability coefficient of 0.82. Hypotheses were tested using the t-test statistical tool. Findings indicated that parenting styles significantly influenced adolescents' delinquent behaviours, with notable variations based on gender, school location, and class level. The study emphasizes the need for parental education programs, including workshops and counselling sessions, to promote effective parenting strategies. Additionally, intervention programs should be designed to address behavioural challenges specific to urban and rural settings. Schools should strengthen counselling services in order to provide psychological and social support across different class levels. These recommendations aim to foster responsible parenting, improve adolescent behaviour, and minimize delinquency in Nigerian secondary schools.
