Resilience and psychological trauma : the connection with family cohesion and posttraumatic growth

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine aspects related to resilience and trauma present in individuals that suffered from a traumatic event in the last 4 months and were aided by the Psychological Aid and Crises Intervention Center (Centro de Apoio Psicológio e Intervenção em Crise - CAPIC) from the Medical Emergency National Institute (Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica - INEM). The variables chosen for this study are the level of resilience, level of posttraumatic growth, family cohesion, gender, age and educational qualifications. Quantitative methodology (questionnaires) was used to collect data on the variables of level of resilience, posttraumatic growth and socio-demographic information. Later, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (IBM SPSS Statistics) 21.0 for Windows was used to provide de statistical analysis needed. Qualitative methodology (interview) was used to collect data on the traumatic event, family cohesion and confirmatory data on the level of posttraumatic growth and later analysed using the software NVIVO (10.0 version for Windows). Results showed that there was no relation between posttraumatic growth and any other variables. Qualitatively and in each case it was possible to analyse several interactions between variables and their components. There was concordance on the measure of PTG (between qualitative and quantitative methodology). A number of clinical implications originated from the qualitative observation are presented.

O objectivo desta investigação é analisar aspectos relacionados com resiliência e trauma em indivíduos que experienciaram um evento traumático nos últimos 4 meses e que receberam assistência do Centro de Apoio Psicológico e Intervenção em Crise (CAPIC) do Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica (INEM). As variáveis escolhidas para este estudo são o nível de resiliência, o nível de crescimento pós-traumático, a coesão familiar, o sexo, a idade e as qualificações académicas. Foi utilizada metodologia quantitativa (questionários) para recolher informação em relação às variáveis de nível de resiliência, crescimento pós-traumático e informação sociodemográfica. Posteriormente, recorreu-se ao Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (IBM SPSS Statistics) 21.0 for Windows para realizar a análise estatística necessária. Foi utilizada metodologia qualitativa (entrevista) para recolher dados do evento traumático, coesão familiar e de crescimento pós-traumático (na qualidade confirmatória). Posteriormente estes dados foram analisados com recurso ao software NVIVO (10.0 version for Windows). Qualitativamente, em cada caso, foi possível analisar várias interacções entre variáveis e os seus componentes. Houve concordância na medida de crescimento pós-traumático (entre as metodologias qualitativas e quantitativas). Várias implicações clínicas provenientes desta investigação e da observação qualitativa são apresentadas.
