A conceptual model was used to investigate how demographic characteristics, perceived fire stress, aspects of the recovery environment (life stressors since the disaster, social support), mental health, and coping influences parent and youth reports of family functioning and posttraumatic growth (PTG) following multiple wildfires. Participants included 50 parent-youth dyads (M = 14.5 years) who had been evacuated because of the fire, many of whom had homes that were damaged (60%) or destroyed (30%). For youth, younger age, being female, greater fire stress, more life stressors, and those using more positive reappraisal coping reported greater PTG. For parents, family type and perceived fire stress were positively related to PTG, and positive reappraisal approached significance. For family functioning, only the youth model was significant. Younger age and more life stressors were negatively related, and positive reappraisal coping was positively related, to family functioning. Overall, the results support the important role of positive reappraisal in postdisaster outcomes.
一个概念模型被用于研究人口统计学特征、感知到的火灾压力、恢复环境的各个方面（灾难后的生活压力源、社会支持）、心理健康以及应对方式如何影响家长和青少年在多次野火之后对家庭功能和创伤后成长（PTG）的报告。参与者包括50对家长-青少年二元组（平均年龄14.5岁），他们因火灾而撤离，其中许多人的房屋受损（60%）或被毁（30%）。对于青少年来说，年龄较小、女性、火灾压力更大、生活压力源更多以及使用更多积极重新评价应对方式的人报告的PTG水平更高。对于家长来说，家庭类型和感知到的火灾压力与PTG呈正相关，积极重新评价接近显著水平。对于家庭功能，只有青少年模型具有显著性。年龄较小和生活压力源较多与家庭功能呈负相关，积极重新评价应对方式与家庭功能呈正相关。总体而言，结果支持了积极重新评价在灾后结果中的重要作用。
