“…La puntuación media del cuestionario en la muestra es de 60.89 puntos, que sería inferior a la reportada en estudios realizados en población universitaria durante el curso académico 2019/2020, durante el inicio de la crisis sanitaria. Por ejemplo, un estudio realizado en China en los meses de abril a junio de 2020 encontró una media de crecimiento postraumático de 69,02 puntos (Xu et al, 2022). Sin embargo, en estudios posteriores en los que se evaluó el crecimiento postraumático de manera retrospectiva, como en nuestro estudio, estas puntuaciones tienden a ser inferiores (Van der Hallen y Godor, 2022).…”

Background: Recently, the appearance of the SARS CoV-2 virus caused university students to experience cessation of their academic activity while they were subjected to mandatory confinement (exceptional situation). The objective of the present retrospective study was to analyze stress, anxiety, and depression levels in university students in the period from March to May 2020, as well as to evaluate their coping strategies and the post-traumatic growth experienced. Method: A total of 239 students took part in this study (85.3% women and 14.7% men). Age was divided into 3 categories: 18-22, 23-27, 28 or older, with the age range between 18-22 years (83.7%) being the most frequent. Descriptive analysis and mean comparisons were performed. Results: Stress levels were higher in university students than those of depression and anxiety. Students employed more adaptive coping strategies, with 44.6% of the sample showing moderate levels of post-traumatic growth, while 10.4% of the students had high levels. On the other hand, students with higher levels of stress more frequently employed maladaptive coping strategies, without any differences in posttraumatic growth. Conclusion: These results show that it is necessary to promote more active coping strategies among students to encourage greater growth after stressful or traumatic situations.Antecedentes: La aparición del virus COVID-19 hizo que los universitarios experimentaran el cierre de su actividad académica mientras estaban sometidos al confinamiento obligatorio (situación excepcional). Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo con carácter retrospectivo fue analizar los niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión en el alumnado universitario en el período de marzo a mayo del año 2020, evaluar sus estrategias de afrontamiento y si experimentaron crecimiento postraumático. Método: Participaron un total de 239 universitarios (85,3% mujeres y 14,7% hombres). La edad se dividió en 3 categorías: 18-22/23-27/28 o más, siendo la franja de edad comprendida entre los 18-22 años (83,7%) la más frecuente. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y pruebas de comparación de medias entre las variables evaluadas. Resultados: Se observaron niveles de estrés significativamente superiores a los de depresión y ansiedad; el alumnado utilizó en mayor medida estrategias de afrontamiento adaptativas, presentando el 44,6% niveles moderados de crecimiento postraumático, y un 10,4% niveles elevados. Por otro lado, los estudiantes con mayores niveles de estrés utilizaron en mayor medida estrategias desadaptativas, sin presentar diferencias respecto al crecimiento postraumático. Conclusión: Existe la necesidad de promover entre el alumnado estrategias de afrontamiento más activas, con el fin de fomentar un mayor crecimiento tras situaciones estresantes.

“…Considering the results of previous studies, it is believed that traumatic experiences in childhood can have a negative impact on mental health even in adulthood, and various therapeutic interventions should be accompanied. Accordingly, personal protective factors (resilience, depression) and social protective factors (Household income and educational level) have been reported as factors that can positively mediate responses to traumatic events (5,6,8,9).…”

IntroductionEarthquakes can have a variety of physical, emotional, and social effects on the people who experience them. Post-traumatic Growth (PTG) results from people attempting to reconstruct their lives after experiencing a traumatic event. We intend to inform the local community of the importance of disaster psychology by identifying and analyzing the literature on post-traumatic growth experiences of subjects who experienced earthquakes.MethodsThis study applied a systematic review of qualitative research published from January 1, 2012 to January 31, 2021 to understand PTG in people who have experienced earthquakes. The search expressions “Post-traumatic Growth”, “Earthquake”, “Qualitative” were applied to CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsycInfo, KISS, RISS, and NDSL databases. Initially, 720 papers were found; after removal of duplicates, 318 remained. After a review of titles and abstracts, 186 papers that did not meet the selection criteria of this study were removed. After a further examination of the remaining 132 papers, the researchers removed 65 papers that did not match the research topic. Lastly, of the remaining 67 papers, detailed review eliminated quantitative papers that did not match this study (25), articles that were not original (19), articles in which results were not PTG (8), articles that were not related to this study (3), articles that were not written in English (2), or articles that had mixed topics (2). Eight papers remained.ResultsThe results of this study show that the PTG in people who have experienced earthquakes can be classified into three categories: “Change in self-perception”, “Change of interpersonal relationships”, and “Spiritual change”. They can be further classified into eight subcategories: “Reviewing one's existence”, “Acceptance”, “Discovering strengths by working through adversity”, “Gratitude for life”, “Changes in personal relations”, “Changes in social relations”, “Accepting the existence of God”, and “A breakthrough to overcome difficulties”.DiscussionThese results can be used as basic data for a positive psychological understanding for those who have experienced earthquake trauma.

“…On the one hand, negative emotions resulting from negative life events may inhibit individual creativity [11]. On the other hand, such events can also become an opportunity for growth [103]. If an accidental injury enhances the development of individual talent and creative performance, it is likely to improve learning and life.…”

Background The aim of the study was to use a moderated mediation model to understand and examine the relationship between negative emotions and creativity among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, using psychological resilience as a mediator and posttraumatic growth as a moderator. Methods A sample of 881 college students in mainland China completed a self-report questionnaire that included four scales: the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, Runco Ideational Behavior Scale and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Results Findings indicated that:(1) negative emotions were a strong predictor of creativity; (2) psychological resilience partially mediated the association between negative emotions and creativity; and (3) posttraumatic growth moderated the positive effect of psychological resilience, such that the indirect effect between negative emotions and creativity via psychological resilience was stronger for someone with a low level of resilience. Conclusion The findings further clarify the mechanisms that affect the relationship between negative emotions and creativity among college students.
