This study examines the psychosocial factors influencing resilience in Colombian victims of armed conflict, highlighting the role of personal, family, and community resources in mitigating trauma. Resilience is a dynamic process that enables individuals and communities to adapt to adversity. Given Colombia's prolonged violence and forced displacement, trauma has significantly impacted both physical and emotional health.
200 adult conflict victims were recruited through snowball sampling and completed validated scales via a secure online platform. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the APGAR Family Scale, and the Brief Resilience Coping Scale assessed resilience, social support, and psychological well-being.
Findings indicate that family support was strongly associated with higher resilience, with participants exhibiting higher family support scores (mean = 15.6, SD = 4.47) demonstrating significantly greater resilience ( < 0.001). Additionally, resilient coping strategies (Exp(B) = 0.772, < 0.001) and higher subjective happiness (Exp(B) = 0.864, = 0.001) were identified as key predictors of resilience. Significant correlations were found between resilience and mental health outcomes, with higher resilience linked to lower anxiety (ρ = -0.388, < 0.001) and depression (ρ = -0.388, < 0.001). Education, employment, and socioeconomic status also positively influenced resilience, with individuals with higher educational levels (χ = 21.265, = 0.006) and income (χ = 8.945, = 0.030) showing higher resilience scores. In contrast, alcohol consumption (Exp(B) = 0.813, = 0.014) was negatively associated with resilience.
This study shows that resilience in conflict victims is influenced by both individual and social factors. Strengthening family and community support, along with improving coping strategies, is essential for long-term recovery, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to enhance psychosocial well-being in affected populations.
本研究探讨影响哥伦比亚武装冲突受害者恢复力的心理社会因素，强调个人、家庭和社区资源在减轻创伤方面的作用。恢复力是一个动态过程，使个人和社区能够适应逆境。鉴于哥伦比亚长期的暴力和被迫流离失所，创伤对身心健康都产生了重大影响。
通过滚雪球抽样招募了200名成年冲突受害者，并通过安全的在线平台完成了经过验证的量表。Connor-Davidson恢复力量表（CD-RISC-10）、APGAR家庭量表和简短恢复力应对量表分别评估了恢复力、社会支持和心理健康状况。
研究结果表明，家庭支持与较高的恢复力密切相关，家庭支持得分较高（平均=15.6，标准差=4.47）的参与者表现出显著更高的恢复力（<0.001）。此外，有恢复力的应对策略（Exp(B)=0.772，<0.001）和较高的主观幸福感（Exp(B)=0.864，=0.001）被确定为恢复力的关键预测因素。恢复力与心理健康结果之间存在显著相关性，恢复力越高，焦虑程度越低（ρ=-0.388，<0.001），抑郁程度越低（ρ=-0.388，<0.001）。教育、就业和社会经济地位也对恢复力产生积极影响，教育水平较高（χ=21.265，=0.006）和收入较高（χ=8.945，=0.030）的个体恢复力得分更高。相比之下，饮酒（Exp(B)=0.813，=0.014）与恢复力呈负相关。
本研究表明，冲突受害者的恢复力受到个人和社会因素的影响。加强家庭和社区支持，以及改善应对策略，对于长期康复至关重要，这突出了需要有针对性的干预措施来提高受影响人群的心理社会福祉。
