摘要

A seismic event profoundly disrupts psychological health; however, a sense of coherence and meaning-focused coping, cultivated by positive childhood experiences, may transform the suffering. The current study aimed to examine the mediating role of sense of coherence and meaning-focused coping in the relationship between positive childhood experiences and posttraumatic growth among survivors of the 2023 Türkiye earthquakes. Data were gathered from 489 survivors of the 2023 Türkiye earthquakes. Mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro. The findings of the study demonstrated the mediating role of sense of coherence and meaning-focused coping in the relationship between positive childhood experiences and posttraumatic growth. These findings underscored that positive childhood experiences promote posttraumatic growth through a sense of coherence and meaning-focused coping. This study suggests that reinforcing positive childhood experiences may help mitigate the impact of challenging life events in adulthood. Targeted strategies that integrate a sense of coherence and meaning-focused coping may promote posttraumatic growth.
