Abstract
DELGADO REQUEJO, Neicer J.; CERDA SANCHEZ, Lourdes C. and CASTILLO RAMOS, Julio C.. Coping with stress as a predictor of post-traumatic growth in a Peruvian population during COVID-19. Rev. investig. psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.1, pp.61-76. Epub June 19, 2023. ISSN 1560-909X. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rinvp.v26i1.24484.
Background
. The Peruvian population during Covid-19 has been exposed to stressful and traumatic events, associated with close experiences with suffering and death; but these experiences have also generated positive psychological growth.
Objective.
Develop a model of structural equations to determine if coping with stress is a predictor of post-traumatic growth in a Peruvian population.
Method
. The design was predictive cross-sectional. 310 people participated, 58 % men and 42 % women, aged 18 to 63 years (M=31.6). The COPE-28 Spanish version (Morán et al., 2010) and the Postraumatic Growth Inventory PTGI (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996), adapted by Ramos-Vera et al (2021).
Results
. In the first model, the coping strategies religion (β=.209, p<.01), self-distraction (β=.111, p<.01) and disconnection (β=-.147, p<.05) are significant predictors and explain 14.9 % of post-traumatic growth; likewise, in the second model, spiritual coping styles (β=.209, p<.01), social support (β=.172, p<.05) and cognitive (β=.164, p<.05) are im
portant predictors that explain 14.7 % of post-traumatic growth.
Conclusions
. The best predictor of growth is religious coping followed by distraction and disconnection. Also, spiritual coping styles, social support, and cognitive support are important predictors.
