Combining ecological resilience theory with a phenomenological epistemology, we explored experiential, social, and cultural factors mediating resilience-building with participants from a village destroyed by the 2018 Fuego volcanic eruption in Guatemala. The purpose of the study is to find out what strategies displaced families and communities employ for living through the aftermath of a volcano eruption and for building psychological resilience. We conducted semistructured interviews with nine survivors of the Fuego eruption, now relocated and coping with the loss of community and family members killed in the disaster. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to analyze transcripts. The analysis produced four main themes: (i) individual and collective challenges, (ii) social support and protection, (iii) faith and culturally endorsed belief, and (iv) looking to the future. As well as learning more about how a community faced challenges presented by a volcano eruption, the current study has a degree of transferability, with implications for understanding how other communities experience and cope with such events.
我们将生态弹性理论与现象学认识论相结合，对来自 2018 年危地马拉富埃戈火山爆发灾区的参与者进行了研究，探索了经验、社会和文化因素对弹性建设的影响。本研究旨在了解流离失所的家庭和社区在火山爆发后的余波中采用了哪些策略来生活，并建立心理弹性。我们对九名富埃戈火山喷发的幸存者进行了半结构化访谈，他们现在已经搬迁，正在应对社区和在灾难中丧生的家人的丧失。采用解释现象学分析方法对转录本进行分析。分析产生了四个主要主题：（i）个人和集体挑战，（ii）社会支持和保护，（iii）信仰和文化认可的信仰，以及（iv）展望未来。本研究不仅更深入地了解了一个社区如何应对火山爆发带来的挑战，还具有一定的可转移性，对理解其他社区如何经历和应对此类事件具有启示意义。
