Earthquakes can have a variety of physical, emotional, and social effects on the people who experience them. Post-traumatic Growth (PTG) results from people attempting to reconstruct their lives after experiencing a traumatic event. We intend to inform the local community of the importance of disaster psychology by identifying and analyzing the literature on post-traumatic growth experiences of subjects who experienced earthquakes.
This study applied a systematic review of qualitative research published from January 1, 2012 to January 31, 2021 to understand PTG in people who have experienced earthquakes. The search expressions "Post-traumatic Growth", "Earthquake", "Qualitative" were applied to CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsycInfo, KISS, RISS, and NDSL databases. Initially, 720 papers were found; after removal of duplicates, 318 remained. After a review of titles and abstracts, 186 papers that did not meet the selection criteria of this study were removed. After a further examination of the remaining 132 papers, the researchers removed 65 papers that did not match the research topic. Lastly, of the remaining 67 papers, detailed review eliminated quantitative papers that did not match this study (25), articles that were not original (19), articles in which results were not PTG (8), articles that were not related to this study (3), articles that were not written in English (2), or articles that had mixed topics (2). Eight papers remained.
The results of this study show that the PTG in people who have experienced earthquakes can be classified into three categories: "Change in self-perception", "Change of interpersonal relationships", and "Spiritual change". They can be further classified into eight subcategories: "Reviewing one's existence", "Acceptance", "Discovering strengths by working through adversity", "Gratitude for life", "Changes in personal relations", "Changes in social relations", "Accepting the existence of God", and "A breakthrough to overcome difficulties".
These results can be used as basic data for a positive psychological understanding for those who have experienced earthquake trauma.
地震会对经历地震的人们产生各种生理、情感和社会影响。创伤后成长（PTG）源于人们在经历创伤性事件后试图重建自己的生活。我们打算通过识别和分析关于经历地震的受试者创伤后成长经历的文献，让当地社区了解灾难心理学的重要性。
本研究对2012年1月1日至2021年1月31日发表的定性研究进行系统综述，以了解经历地震的人们的创伤后成长情况。搜索词“创伤后成长”“地震”“定性”被应用于CINAHL、EMBASE、PubMed、PsycInfo、KISS、RISS和NDSL数据库。最初，找到720篇论文；去除重复项后，剩下318篇。在对标题和摘要进行审查后，删除了186篇不符合本研究选择标准的论文。在对其余132篇论文进行进一步审查后，研究人员删除了65篇与研究主题不匹配的论文。最后，在剩下的67篇论文中，详细审查排除了与本研究不匹配的定量论文（25篇）、非原创文章（19篇）、结果不是创伤后成长的文章（8篇）、与本研究无关的文章（3篇）、非英文撰写的文章（2篇）或主题混杂的文章（2篇）。剩下8篇论文。
本研究结果表明，经历地震的人们的创伤后成长可分为三类：“自我认知的改变”“人际关系的改变”和“精神改变”。它们可进一步细分为八个子类别：“审视自己的存在”“接纳”“在逆境中发现优势”“对生活的感恩”“个人关系的变化”“社会关系的变化”“接受上帝的存在”和“克服困难的突破”。
这些结果可作为对经历地震创伤者进行积极心理理解的基础数据。
