Very little research has examined struggle as a predictor of perceived growth, and our findings may reflect that initial levels of active struggle can lead to subsequent identification of ways that one has changed in positive ways . On the other hand, a fair amount of literature suggests that perceptions of growth are often illusory and reflective of distress .…”

“…Religion and spirituality have been reported to be embedded in the posttraumatic recovery process for understanding traumatic events, the selection of methods to cope with adversity and the coping methods themselves; these factors, therefore, influence the short- and long-term outcomes of trauma (Harper & Pargament, 2015).

“…Trauma is increasingly being recognized as a fundamental human experience (Gold, 2008) since it can happen to anyone in any social sector and at any stage in the life course (Thompson & Walsh, 2010). Also, traumatic events cover different areas of life, including interpersonal (e.g., violence, sexual assault, emotional maltreatment, death, separation), medical (e.g., physical injury, illness), or ecological (e.g., natural disaster, human-made industrial accident; Harper & Pargament, 2015). Moreover, there are numerous clinical conditions and other psychological consequences that may arise after trauma, including substance abuse, depression, generalized anxiety, and PTSD (Dye, 2018; Fink & Galea, 2015; Knipscheer et al, 2020; Seng et al, 2014; Spinazzola et al, 2014).…”

Objective: This study aims to explore and analyze the associations among posttraumatic symptoms, meaning in life dimensions, and perceived family functioning in trauma-exposed university students. Method: Participants (N = 158) answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Posttraumatic Stress Global Assessment (Crespo et al., 2017), the Purpose in Life Test (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1969), and the Family APGAR (Smilkstein, 1978). Results: Outcomes indicated several negative associations between posttraumatic symptoms and both meaning in life and family functioning areas. Conclusions: These findings suggest family functioning and meaning-in-life clinical practical relevance concerning the assessment, prevention, and intervention in persons affected by trauma.
