Volunteers who respond to disasters play a crucial role in disaster management. However, their indirect exposure to traumatic events during their duties can adversely affect their mental health. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation among trauma centrality, coping self-efficacy, and posttraumatic growth and trauma centrality as possible mediator role in this relationship. A total of 112 disaster volunteers participated. The data were collected with a Demographic Form, the Centrality of Events Scale, the Post-Traumatic Growth Scale, and the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale. Disaster volunteers exhibited above average event centrality, high levels of posttraumatic growth, and coping self-efficacy. A positive correlation was identified among trauma centrality, posttraumatic growth, and coping self-efficacy, with trauma centrality playing a full mediating role. This study will be instrumental in better understanding the posttraumatic processes of disaster volunteers and in strengthening coping capacities, guiding the implementation of preventive and protective psychosocial interventions.
志愿者在灾害管理中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，他们在履行职责时间接接触创伤性事件会对其心理健康产生不利影响。本研究旨在确定创伤中心性、应对自我效能感和创伤后成长之间的相关性，以及创伤中心性在这一关系中可能的中介作用。共有 112 名灾害志愿者参与了这项研究。研究数据通过人口统计学表格、事件中心性量表、创伤后成长量表和应对自我效能感量表收集。结果显示，灾害志愿者表现出较高的事件中心性、较高的创伤后成长水平和应对自我效能感。创伤中心性、创伤后成长和应对自我效能感之间存在正相关关系，创伤中心性发挥了完全的中介作用。本研究将有助于更好地了解灾害志愿者的创伤后过程，并增强应对能力，为实施预防和保护心理社会干预措施提供指导。
