dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores how Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which can seriously affect mental health after traumatic experiences, interacts with Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). PTG involves positive changes like a deeper appreciation for life and stronger relationships that can happen after dealing with adversity. The study uses a mixed-methods approach to look at data from 200 trauma survivors—these include military veterans, people who’ve faced natural disasters, those involved in car accidents, and victims of violent crimes. It employs quantitative methods such as the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5) and the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), along with thematic analysis from 25 semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that PTSD and PTG can coexist; in fact, PTG can develop even when PTSD symptoms are present, especially if there are protective factors in place like social support, effective coping strategies (like problem-solving and finding meaning), and intentional cognitive processing. This research also shows that the severity of trauma can predict levels of PTG, which challenges the conventional belief that trauma is purely harmful. It highlights the potential for personal growth following difficult experiences. Additionally, it points out the importance of personality traits like optimism and resilience, as well as cultural and religious factors, in encouraging growth. Ultimately, the thesis suggests that therapeutic approaches should incorporate cognitive reframing and social support to help lessen PTSD symptoms while promoting holistic recovery and long-term wellness.
