Introduction to Stress and Lifestyle

Introduction to Stress and Lifestyle

Stress is a multifaceted response to events perceived as challenging or threatening, highlighting physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions. Physically, stress can lead to fatigue, sleep disruptions, and various health issues such as frequent colds, chest pains, and nausea. Emotionally, it can manifest as anxiety, depression, irritability, and anger triggered by both minor and major life events. Cognitively, it may result in difficulty in concentration, memory, and...

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Traumatic Memory

Traumatic Memory

Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Summary

Frontline nurses’ posttraumatic growth (PTG) positively predicts their resilience development following disasters. PTG at a later time point mediates the relationship between earlier resilience and later resilience.

Area of Science:

Disaster nursing
Psychological resilience
Posttraumatic growth

Background:

Global disasters present significant challenges to nursing practice, leading to stress and psychological distress in frontline nurses.
Resilience and posttraumatic growth (PTG) are crucial for maintaining mental health in nurses exposed to disaster events.
Understanding the interplay between resilience and PTG is vital for supporting nurses' well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the directional relationship between resilience and PTG in frontline nurses using a cross-lagged design.
To examine if resilience at an initial time point (T1) influences resilience at a later time point (T3), with PTG at an intermediate time point (T2) acting as a mediator.

Main Methods:

A longitudinal study involving 258 frontline nurses who completed self-reported measurements across three time periods.
Utilized a cross-lagged panel model to analyze the reciprocal relationships between resilience and PTG.
Employed a longitudinal mediation model to test the mediating role of PTG in the relationship between resilience over time.

Main Results:

Posttraumatic growth (PTG) at T2 significantly and positively predicted resilience at T3 (β = 0.235, p < 0.001).
Resilience at T1 did not significantly predict PTG at T2 (p > 0.05).
The development of PTG at T2 was found to mediate the relationship between resilience at T1 and resilience at T3.

Conclusions:

Posttraumatic growth plays a significant mediating role in the development of resilience among frontline nurses in disaster settings.
These findings offer a theoretical foundation for psychological crisis interventions and resilience-building programs for nurses.
Identifying nurses at risk for low resilience is possible, informing targeted support strategies.
