A disaster is a traumatic event that many people may have witnessed and had various implications on their mental and physical wellbeing. Psychologists have confirmed the fact that the traumatic event contributes not just to stress but also to posttraumatic growth (PTG), which evolves through the attempt to reunify after trauma or accident has disrupted fundamental life expectations. This study was conducted to explore and understand the factors leading to PTG among victims of disasters.
Thirty victims who experienced traumatic events were included in this study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews.
Themes created include closeness to God (Allah), acceptance, contentment, self-reliance, a vision of life, and responsibility as necessary factors leading to PTG. The highest percentage (88.1%) was observed for closeness to Allah and within that Salat and Zikr (prayers and remembrance) as coping strategies were recorded for all 30 participants.
The findings show that religious beliefs and closeness to God can bring great changes in victims' life after a traumatic experience.
灾难是一种创伤性事件，许多人可能目睹过，并对他们的身心健康产生了各种影响。心理学家已经证实，创伤事件不仅会导致压力，还会导致创伤后成长（PTG），这是通过在创伤或事故破坏基本生活期望后试图重新统一而发展起来的。本研究旨在探讨和了解导致灾难受害者创伤后成长的因素。
本研究纳入了 30 名经历过创伤事件的受害者。通过半结构化访谈收集数据。
创建的主题包括亲近真主（安拉）、接受、满足、自力更生、对生活的憧憬和责任感，这些都是导致创伤后成长的必要因素。其中，与真主亲近的比例最高（88.1%），在这其中，所有 30 名参与者都记录了祈祷和纪念（祈祷和纪念）作为应对策略。
研究结果表明，宗教信仰和与真主的亲近可以给经历创伤后的受害者的生活带来巨大的变化。
