“…When resilience was conceptualized as a stress-coping ability instead of having no PTS symptoms as in most studies in the field of trauma research, it was positively related with PTG. This suggests that ability to cope with stress facilitates PTG following trauma exposure and confirms the findings of some studies in other trauma-exposed populations (Bensimon, 2012; Duan et al, 2015; Nishi et al, 2010; Penagos-Corzo et al, 2019; Zeidner & Kampler, 2020). The linear relationship between resilience and PTG observed in the current study further provides empirical evidence for that resilience might be a buffer for recovery and a collection of resources necessary to promote growth (Morland, Butler, & Leskin, 2008).…”

“…There are only a few empirical studies examining the link between PTG and resilience following trauma exposure. Although a number of studies (Bensimon, 2012; Duan, Guo, & Gan, 2015; Nishi, Matsuoka, & Kim, 2010; Penagos-Corzo, Tolamatl, Espinosa, Ruiz, & Pintado, 2019; Zeidner, & Kampler, 2020) reported a positive relationship between the two constructs, some studies (Hobfoll et al, 2009; Levine, Laufer, Stein, Hamama-Raz, & Solomon, 2009; Zerach, Solomon, Cohen, & Ein-Dor, 2013) showed an inverse relationship, and some (Rodríguez-Rey et al, 2017) found no relationship at all. Among studies showing relationships between the constructs, some (Kaye-Tzadok & Davidson-Arad, 2016; Li, Cao, Cao, & Liu, 2015) provided evidence for a curvilinear relationship.…”

Acts of terrorism, being highly prevalent across the world, disrupt community and social functioning and can lead to negative psychological reactions in individuals. However, positive outcomes can also be evoked after adverse experiences. The current study aimed to explore two salutogenic or positive outcomes-resilience and posttraumatic growth (PTG)-following exposure to terrorist attacks. The sample included 331 university students who were exposed to a terrorist attack in Turkey during the last 18 months prior to data collection. Participants responded to the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and a participant information form. The relationship between resilience and PTG was examined through correlation analysis and regression analyses with linear and quadratic components. Resilience and PTG were positively correlated. Tendency toward spirituality was the only resilience domain that was significantly correlated with all domains of growth. Total score of resilience was significantly associated with scores on all subscales of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory except appreciation of life. Results indicated that only linear relationships existed between domains of resilience and PTG in the study sample. The positive and linear association between resilience and PTG suggests that resilience may be an important tool for facilitating growth. After terrorist attacks, mental health care planning should adopt a patient-centered approach that acknowledges the possibility of positive outcomes following traumatic events and focuses on the impact as well as recovery phases in traumatized individuals.

“…Currently, the population worldwide is facing the threat of COVID-19, caused by a virus belonging to the coronavirus family, first recognized in China in December 2019, reaching an exponential rate of contagion and transmission that has come to collapse healthcare systems in high-income countries (46). Despite the importance of mental health problems that have been generated during pandemics, little information is available in the context of COVID-19 (15).…”

The article analyzes the importance of resilience and the usefulness of family mediation as an effective method of family conflict resolution in times of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. To meet the objective, an exploratory descriptive analysis was conducted comparing the official figures of complaints of domestic violence published by the National Police of Colombia during the years 2019 and 2020, in the period from January to February and those occurring after March 11, 2020, the date on which the World Health Organization (WHO), classified the epidemic outbreak 0of SARS-CoV-2 as a pandemic and in coherence with the mandatory preventive isolation in the country.

“…El número de estudios sobre el CPT se ha incrementado durante las dos últimas décadas para explicar las consecuencias positivas generadas por un acontecimiento traumático. Esta medida es similar a otros términos descritos sobre los efectos psicológicos positivos después de sobrevivir a un evento potencialmente traumático, como los cambios psicológicos positivos (Yalom y Lieberman, 1991), crecimiento relacionado con el estrés (Park et al, 1996) o florecimiento (Ryff y Singer, 1998). La teoría del CPT (Tedeschi y Calhoun, 1996) es la más citada y elaborada, esta implica un cambio positivo en ciertos ámbitos de la vida: (1) relaciones interpersonales, (2) nuevas posibilidades, (3) fuerza personal, (4) cambio espiritual y (5) apreciación de la vida después del evento adverso, basado en el modelo psicológico transformacional (Calhoun y Tedeschi, 2014;Henson et al, 2020).…”

Network analysis of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-X) in Peruvian adults with family members killed by COVID-19 as a function of sex Abstract: Posttraumatic growth network structures were evaluated in males and females who lost a family member to COVID-19 to determine network variations according to sex. Six hundred sixty-nine Peruvian adults (M = 25.41, SD = 1.82) were included using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-X (PTGI-X) self-report measure. Two Gaussian plot models of partial correlations were estimated through the qgraph statistical package. The most central network domain items were emotional expression, closeness to others, and greater understanding of life-death issues. The highest connections were reported for items on the measures of personal relationships, appreciation for life, and spiritual-existential change. Both network models were found to be invariant and showed no significant differences at the level of structure and connections, and a difference was reported at the score level on the existential-spiritual change subscale in women. Keywords: Post-traumatic growth; COVID-19; death; grief; mental health; network analysis. Resumen: Se evaluaron las estructuras de red del crecimiento postraumático en varones y mujeres que perdieron un familiar por COVID-19 para determinar las variaciones de red según sexo. Fueron incluidos 669 adultos peruanos (M = 25.41, DT = 1.82) mediante la medida de autoinforme de Postraumatic Growth Inventory-X (PTGI-X). Se estimaron dos modelos de gráfico gaussiano de correlaciones parciales a través del paquete estadístico qgraph. Los reactivos más centrales del dominio de red fueron la expresión emocional, cercanía a los demás y mayor comprensión de las cuestiones de vida-muerte. Las conexiones más altas se reportaron en los elementos de las medidas de relaciones personales, apreciación por la vida y cambio espiritual-existencial. Se encontró que ambos modelos de red eran invariantes y no mostraban diferencias significativas a nivel de estructura y de conexiones, y se reportó una diferencia a nivel de puntuación en la subescala de cambio existencial-espiritual en las mujeres. Palabras clave: Crecimiento postraumático; COVID-19; muerte; duelo; salud mental; análisis de redes.
