Abstract
Background. For decades, research on long-term adjustment to war trauma has focused exclusively on negative outcomes, and the existence of positive emotions and the experience of post-traumatic growth has been virtually ignored. The purpose of the present study was to predict post-traumatic growth based on resilience and spiritual intelligence in the families of martyrs.
Methods. This research was done by descriptive-correlation method. From the statistical population of the research, which included all people over 20 years of age in the families of martyrs in Tabriz city, 230 people were selected as the research sample using available sampling method. Participants completed resilience, spiritual intelligence and post-traumatic growth questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and standard regression statistical methods in SPSS24.
Results. The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between resilience and spiritual intelligence with post-traumatic growth (P<0.01). Also, resilience variable can uniquely explain 21% and spiritual intelligence 26% of post-traumatic growth variance.
Conclusion. Based on the findings, it is suggested to pay attention to training resilience and spiritual intelligence to improve the health and growth of people who have experienced trauma.
